I recently stumbled onto a fantasy series that I am absolutely enrapt with. It's the The Doctrine of Labyrinths series by Sarah Monette. The first book is called Mélusine and at first I wasn't too thrilled with it. I admit the first half of the book kind of drags and I found myself thinking 'I probably won't enjoy the rest'. I was wrong. The second half of the book is awesome and a whole lot more thrilling than the first half. It really picks up where the two main characters (they're half brothers) meet for the first time. The second book in the series, The Virtu is by far my favourite. I just don't want it to end. One of the brothers is gay and there is a little hot gay wizard sex in it, so if you like that go for it. The author writes her characters beautifully, the books are told from each brothers point of view. It may seem confusing when you first pick it up and flip through the book, but it fits and works so well. They're a fun read to take to the beach or just sit in bed with on a rainy day. :)
