This was OK. The stories should have been interesting - perhaps I'm tired - but I didn't find it compelling.

Magician by Raymond E. Feist is good, as a classic coming-of-age epic fantasy in a fantasy world. The start of a series of series.

The Spirit Ring by Lois McMaster Bujold is excellent if you'd rather have a stand-alone rather than the start of a series, and is a historical magical fantasy.

Enchantment by Orson Scott Card is good for a more present-day, real-world fantasy and is also a stand-alone.

So You Want To Be A Wizard by Diane Duane is the first of a great series of Young Adult fantasy novels, also set in the present-day, real-world.
