Books like Stealing Magic by Tanya Huff

The first collection features Magdelene, the world's most powerful and laziest wizard, whose grandiose, lazy antics raise the bar for high‑fantasy comedy. The second series follows Terazin, a top‑notch thief whose clever schemes and sharp humor bring a sharp, playful edge. Readers who enjoy genre‑bending humor and memorable wizardry will find both sections essential to any fantasy collection.
