The Far West (Frontier Magic #3) 
When spring comes, the explorers realize how tenuous life near the Great Barrier Spell must stop a magical flood in a hurry. Eff's unique way of viewing magic has saved the settlers time and again, now all of Columbia is at risk.
I finished reading The Far West yesterday. First off this is probably one of my favorite books of the year. I couldnt devour the pages fast enough; I honestly wanted to call into work just to finish it. In fact I was late picking up my boyfriend so I could do just that.Some points I would like to touch on.1) The author always manages to give off that warm happy fantasy feel with her writing; like I want to snuggle down into the story and that it should never end.2) In this series Ms. Wrede does
I really do adore Patricia C. Wrede's writing and world-building. Who else would think of having an Old Western fantasy series and then execute it so well? This third installment in the trilogy was much better than the previous, despite the fact that we all knew what Eff would decide to do at the end. Despite the predictability, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel.

This is the third and final book in the Frontier Magic series by Wrede. This has been a great series, it is very deliberately paced but I really enjoy the characters and world. This book is a very satisfying conclusion to the series.When the threat of the Medusa lizards became apparent in the last book it is decided that someone needs to go on an expedition to explore the Far West and figure out what is driving the Medusa lizards into the settlements. Eff, Lan, William, Professor Torgeson, Wash,
Eff continues her exploration of the far west, and this book again contains dragons (whole packs of them!) and also magic that works in a relatively logical kind of way, both good things. My favorite new magical creature of the book: the invisible disappearing giant foxes. Can we have more of them, please?
This are totally in the spirit of Little House books, if Laura was magically dyslexic, and and interested in natural history. And there were mammoths and steam dragons and medusa lizards.
I always knew Patricia Wrede was a good writer, but this series proves it to me, because the stories it tells could so easily be dull--it's a quiet, character-driven series with a sensible, undramatic heroine, in which the world is mostly saved with infrastructure engineering (_magical_ infrastructure engineering, but still)--and she makes it fascinating. At this point, there's been a lot of discussion about the lack of Native Americans in this alternate universe--my own personal view is that

Sept 2015 reread - Just got around to rereading the third one in this trilogy. What can I say, I still enjoy it. It's a very comfortable read. I enjoy how it deals with female characters. I enjoy how it portrays scientists. And I very much enjoy Eff and William's relationship. Though Lan still annoys the crap out of me.2015 Reading challenge - A trilogyI love this series.
