It’s like what a 12 year old boy would write if you told him to write a fantasy novel. There’s inconsistencies in the story, (try to read this book and track how many magic stones anyone has. You can’t. They appear and disappear as needed) there’s long boring diatribes that go nowhere and serve no purpose to the story other than to assure you that the main character is the most amazing person who ever lived, but other things are glazed over completely. The novel ends with the main character being forced to have sex with his ex girlfriend in full view of 4000 villagers waltzing by to get to the magic portal to safety. I wish any part of that was made up. Side note: WEIRDEST writing of a sex scene I’ve EVER read, and if you look at my read shelf, you’ll see how impressive that statement is. I don’t understand how anyone read this and decided the series needed 13 more books.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: he found a quaint little shop, befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes . . . Then one night Minalan is forced to pick up his mageblade again to defend his adopted home from the vanguard of an army of goblins - gurvani, they call themselves - bent on a genocidal crusade against all mankind. And that was the good news. The bad news was that their shamans were armed with more magical power than has been seen since the days of the ancient Imperial Magocracy - and their leader, a mysterious, vengeful force of hate and dark magic, is headed directly to Boval Vale, along with a massive invading army of gurvani. The good people of Boval and their spellmonger have only one choice: to hole up in the over-sized Boval Castle and hope they can endure a siege against hundreds of thousands of goblins. When the people look to him for hope, Minalan does his best, but the odds are depressing: there are multitudes of goblins, and they want Boval Vale as a staging ground for a vengeful invasion of the whole Five Duchies. Add to his troubles a jealous rival mage, a motley band of mercenaries, a delusional liege lord who insists victory is at hand despite the hordes at his door, a dour castellan, a moody, pregnant girlfriend and a catty ex-girlfriend who specializes in sex magic - all trapped in a stinking, besieged castle with no hope of rescue, and you'll understand why Minalan is willing to take his chances with the goblins. All that stands between the gurvani horde and the people of the Five Duchies is one tired, overwhelmed baker's son who wanted nothing more than to be a simple village spellmonger!

Which is a shame, because I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the story. Here's hoping Book #2 leaves out all of the sex magic bullshit. (
