FANTASY REVIEW: Wizard Squared - KE Mills

BOOK BLURB:

When the staff of Witches Incorporated receive a visitor from an alternate reality, they are shocked to learn that life in the parallel world next door is anything but a bed of roses. And it's all because of Gerald Dunwoody. At a crucial moment in time, their Gerald turned left - but the alternate reality Gerald turned right. Now the parallel world next door is in the grip of terror, staring down the barrel of a thaumaturgical war. A war that threatens to spill across the dimensions and plunge every reality into nightmare. The only person who can stop a rogue wizard gone mad is another rogue wizard. But what do you do when another rogue wizard is nowhere to be found?


REVIEW:

As a huge fan of Karen’s writing this series has been a real gem of an offering in the fantasy world. For a while I was left wondering what the hell she could do that would really challenge her principle magician within her writing that wouldn’t appear OTT or even forced. What she comes up with in this offering is definitely something that will entertain the reader and give them the magical ride of their life. Add to the mix great dialogue, a whole host of characters that you’d love to share a jar or two with and backed up with a reasonable paced story arc. A real treat against the usual hum drum magical offerings.
