The Accidental Sorcerer

Rogue Agent, Book 1

By: K. E. Mills

Narrated by: Stephen Hoye

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?©2008 Karen Miller (P)2009 Tantor

You can't help but root for Gerald.

A nice bit of light entertainment, a likable underdog main character, and a good narrator. The series is just getting started so it may even improve. I'll be buying the next one to find out.

long winded

mostly boring. wasn't the fast pace books that I usually listen to. so I may be being a little bit harsh.

What a lot of fun.

I enjoyed this book for a couple of reasons. First, it is a fun story, very well written. Second, the narrator was fantastic. He brought the characters to life. I never once wondered which character was talking. He made me laugh many times. He also made it easy for me to really become absorbed in the story. The author has a very nice writing style. I will be looking for more of her books. This was money very well spent.

Excellent yarn, very well read!

Excellent voice characterization, a good tale, with very interesting characters. Made my drive back and forth to work much more enjoyable for the last couple of weeks. Only down side is I now need to get the next book to find out what mischief Gerald gets into next.

Good books

What made the experience of listening to The Accidental Sorcerer the most enjoyable?

Who was your favorite character and why?
