Welcome to Fantastic Top Fives with Wyrd & Wonder!

Wyrd and Wonder have brought back their Top Fives prompts, so every Friday this month, we’ll be tackling the prompts in our 5-Star Books in Five Words feature.

The first prompt was: Your Favourite Magical Systems or Spells.

The second was: Your Favourite Songs That You Associate with the Magical – so we looked at magic systems that used song!

This week, it’s Favourite magic casters, which is pretty straightforward!

A big thank you to all our contributors for their excellent recommendations!

Underlined book titles in bold contain links to reviews on this site.
