This time it was a reread of the Light series by Marion Zimmer Bradley. It consists of four books-Ghostlight, Witchlight, Gravelight and Heartlight. The books are loosely connected-they all share common characters, and the final book is a decades stretching view of world the books take place in from the view of a character who is mentioned often, but never really seen in the first three books.
Rereading these, I remembered how much I enjoyed them. They are set in the modern world, with magic. The stories flow smoothly, and I love the fact that the characters from book to book change, but you still get updates and see characters from prior books. It's a nice touch, especially since I am one of those people who always wonder what happens to a character after the book ends.
My only issue with the books is occasionally the narration feels a bit disconnected, like the narrator isn't really a part of what is going on, even though they always are. This is a bit noticeable in Ghostlight, but very annoying in Heartlight.
