Negative Positive
Title: straight forward plot, no surprises, rather dull
Review: "Wizard Lord" has a simple fantasy plot: young man becomes a mystical defender of the relm, expecting this to be a cerimonial position. But their king (the Wizard Lord) is corrupt, and it's the young man's job (and the other defenders of the relm) to kill the Wizard Lord.The back cover promises plot twists, but there aren't any. Watt-Evans has written some fast paced, fun novels; but this one is slow and borring: heavy on monologs, & light on action. I was quite surprised to see it published in hardback -- the average small press publication or print-on-demand fantasy is higher quality.
