I've requested the first novel in the Butler series from my local public library (it has to come via interlibrary loan from a different branch); that will let me see if the series fits my tastes as well as it does yours. I don't tend to hear about YA series all that often, but Garth Nix's Abhorsen books are one of my very favorite fantasy series of the past couple of decades (not just "favorite YA fantasy series"), so I'm willing to check out a new YA series.

That's one of the things that makes his world stand out in my mind. Sam has also created a strange unique magic system for
