THE WANDERING WIZARD In sunny Latruria, the wicked old king was dead, and the new king spurned the rule of Evil. But turmoil began to spread, even across the border, when the new king also resisted Good! In nearby Merovence, Lord Wizard Matt Mantrell donned a disguise and set off to investigate--never dreaming that Latruria's sinister prime minister was mobilizing his minions... "Minstrel" Matt sang his way south, dodging deadly enemies and music critics alike. He was teamed with a lovesick lad, menaced by a manticore, haunted by a ghost from Greece, and swept along in a flood of youngsters fleeing the provinces for the "glamour" of the city. But when they all washed up in the capital, harsh reality awaited them, not gold-paved streets. And even harsher reality awaited Matt. The Lord Wizard faced the ultimate test of magic--and he would need a lot of help to pass! Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I know I've mentioned this before, but I continue to be struck by the subtlety and wit that Stasheff brings to the table. His double entendres and back and forth dialogue is interesting and playful. Adding Saul to the mix at the end must have been an absolute joy to write and you can feel the energy that Matt and Saul have together, feeding off one another. We also add another dimension to this universe, more fully fleshing out the magic system a little more - now it is known to be like the Force - a life force that surrounds all things, but the purpose to which it is put comes from either Good or Evil. It may be possible to walk the fine line between good and evil, but Stasheff does a pretty good job of showing that there really is no gray here - even someone who does everything he can to stay neutral will, in the end, be forced to choose.
