Wizard of the Pigeons | 
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

pick“Gotta take a man with nothing else left; then you can make a wizard out of the leftovers.”
No spoilers, but the “homeless wizard defends Seattle against evil magics” urban fantasy that the back matter is selling is not exactly what this is. It‘s a bit more complex than that and zigs instead of zags. I liked Hobb‘s writing style a lot and enjoyed myself thoroughly.

#Starting my first book by Megan Lindholm/Robin Hobb!
Since high school I have been an absolute sucker for books about magic in modern cities, maybe because I‘ve lived my whole life in a tiny rural town. I guess you could call it the Charles de Lint Effect.

I picked this up because of the title (+ it‘s Robin Hobb!), but the first paragraph looks promising: “On the far western shore of a northern continent there was once a harbor city called Seattle. It did not have much of a reputation for sunshine and beaches, but it did have plenty of rain . . . And the other thing it boasted was a great friendliness that fell upon strangers like its rain, but with more warmth. In that city, there dwelt a wizard.”
