Review: Creative Fantasy War Tale
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 04 7, 2012
Spellmonger spins a fun fantasy tale of war.  The story is told entirely from the sometimes comic viewpoint of Min, who begins the tale as a village spellmonger who soon has to deal with far more than simple requests for food preservation or fire protection spells.  Events from Min's past are interspersed throughout that help flesh out the world's history and explain some of the abilities and attitudes of the main character. Min's light-hearted approach keeps the tale from bogging down into a series of battle descriptions, and there were enough twists and other character interactions to keep things interesting.I quickly read through this book (enjoying every page of it!) and have already downloaded the sequel, because while story events are mostly wrapped up, there is clearly much more to come.  However, I'm hoping that the next book will have undergone a more thorough editing - this one suffered from a few spelling & grammatical errors as well as some awkwardness in phrasing.
