The Accidental Sorcerer by K.E. Mills

Gerald Dunwoody is a wizard. Just not a particularly good one. He’s blown up a factory, lost his job, and there’s a chance that he’s not really a Third Grade wizard after all. So it’s off to New Ottosland to be the new Court Wizard for King Lional.

It’s a shame that King Lional isn’t the vain, self-centered young man he appeared to be. With a Princess in danger, a talking bird who can’t stay out of trouble, and a kingdom to save, Gerald soon suspects that he might be out of his depth. And if he can’t keep this job, how will he ever become the wizard he was destined to be…

THE ACCIDENTAL SORCERER is the first novel in the Rogue Agent trilogy, from one of fantasy’s newest stars.

My Opinion:

This is a cute magical story of a wizard who doesn’t know his own potential. I love fantasy novels and this is right up there with some of the better ones. Light hearted, fun and cute this is definitely a good book for any age group. The only thing that I don’t like about it is the constant complaining and whining of the main charater, Gerald Dunwoody. There are more parts of him berating himself and feeling guilty than there are of him actually doing things to make things right. But if you can get through his whining, then you can enjoy the rest of the book.

I highly recommend this book for any fantasy novel fan both young and old. There isn’t any foul language or adult situations so even the younger generation can read this book. However if scenes of dragons reigning fire down on a town or prolonged torture might be too much for the younger reader, then this might not be a good book for them. Although not as dark as Harry Potter. So maybe it’s not too bad.

My rating: 3.5 stars
