People figure that if they had the mojo, they'd do all sorts of things that they ought not and therefore, there should be a catch, if all were properly balanced in this world. I figure that things aren't in balance -- and if there were magic about, we mundanes would be in a terrible pickle. I think that they’re projecting, to use an old psych jargon word.

I think it would be way cooler if it didn't and you could screw around with people just because! Or if it was a sense like sight or smell. I think people like to feel that you need a built in responsibility for magics.... Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

I liked it, but I doubt that I will read the series again. (Contrast that with the fact that I've read Hobb's Farseer books at least three times; part of that, though, is that I really like the court intrigue setting.) I will admit, though, that while the series didn't rock my world, I was also a little puzzled by how much reviewers really didn't like Navare. I think you're right that they were also viewing him scornfully, and that really does say a lot about our culture, doesn't it? I should try the Friedman. I'm actually reading sf/f again, after taking kind of a break. :) I finished the third Soldier Son book when it came out in hardback–I got it from the library as, sadly, I rarely buy books these days.
