Re: Book club - August discussion post - So You Want to Be a Wizard

[(Anonymous)]

I need to reread this one. I don't remember how old I was when I first read it, but certainly at least in my mid teens, maybe late teens, and I still liked it enough to read several of the series.

One of the world building bits that comes up (probably in later books) is that the younger the wizard when they discover magic, the more powerful they are--and the longer they stay powerful. By the time wizards are done growing (physically), the amount of raw power they have access to will have dropped significantly, and they usually replace power with finesse by picking an area of study to specialize in. Human wizards are powerful for longer than most other species because they spend longer growing to physical maturity, and in a later book, they run into a whale wizard, one of the few other species with a long childhood.

My favorite of the series was High Wizardry, for one of the coolest takes on a computer I've ever seen--one that I feel sure must have been used by an adult sci-fi writer at some point, but I've never seen in any other books or media.

Oooh, that's really cool that other animals can be wizards.

What was the computer like? I really like magic/sci-fi fusion things!

.... High Wizardry might just be exactly your jam for sci-fi magic and technomancy!

(Diane Duane wrote a bunch of excellent officila Star Trek novels too - she does hard sci-fi with a heart very very well).
