This one was a suggestion and came in via paperbackswap.com. All in all, it was a nice little read - atmospheric, with two characters I gave a flip about (Prospero & Bacon), some humor and a disturbing villain of the piece. The illustrations helped as well - they were cute and funny.
The premise is that two wizards, Prospero and Bacon, find themselves opposing a force much greater than their own powers - one that has a reason to want to destroy Prospero. Along the way, we are treated to who the villain is, what he's doing (with an end of the world that's different) and some clever escapes by our protagonists. Its a neat piece even if the end does feel like deus ex machina.
