Herb-Witch was written by Beth McCoy, who is an old friend of mine from the In Nomine List days. And now she writes books! This is the first one of hers that I’ve picked up, and it’s rather good. A well thought-out system of alchemy and herbalism as sciences (and not in the sense that one is chemistry and the other is botany, either), and the likely implications thereof. So far, so good.
And so, adieu to The Nightmare Stacks.
