Nick O'Donohoe: The magic and the healing (2006, Firebird)

A veterinary student finds herself part of a special rotation treating mythical and fantastical animals.

Review of 'The magic and the healing' on 'Goodreads'

Very good urban fantasy novel from an author I hadn't heard of before.
Grabbed off my shelf at random. It's a book about large animal vets, so
if you're squeamish about the details of delivering breach births from horses
and such then you may have to skip over a few parts. But it was fun to see
the usual fantasy creatures mapped into the world of veterinary medicine.
I also really liked the way the main character's personal trauma was handled.
It was in the background throughout the story and colored her experiences
without taking over the story.
