The first book in what appears to be a new series, Argus Philo & Montgomery Quinn‘s Caeda’s Curse has a heavier sexual focus than their White Mage series. Which isn’t all that surprising in retrospect considering the curse in question turns out to be sourced from an incubus. What mainly stands out aside from that is how most of the protagonist’s problems can be traced back to simple poor decision making, rather than her negative luck attribute.
The twenty-first of Stuart Grosse‘s Lich Returnee novellas focuses on some military exercises and explanations regarding war magics in general. It also makes a minor reference to the ‘red dragon’ subplot, meaning that hasn’t been forgotten and may still turn out to be a future focus, and hints at what might be the series’ endgame in the epilogue portion.
