Time: unknown

Place: Earthlike planet

Fantasy elements: magic, medieval-like culture

Introduction: Just as young cleric Seagryn is about to be married, bandits
from a nearby country rush into the hall. To protect his fiancee, Seagryn
turns into a beast, revealing his shame - he's a Power User!

Main storylines: Seagryn's learning about wizardry; travels with Dark
the Prophet, who sees the future; learning about the world and its
politics; becoming a major player in the world.

Critique: This book is subtitled: "Book I of Wizard and Dragon". It
takes place in the same setting as the author's "Pelman the Powershaper"
series and has similar elements - lots of action, fascinating characters,
just the right amount of humor, and a good theme to tie it all together.
This is the type of book you'd like to read slowly in order to savor it,
but which you'll probably consume in one or two gulps because it's so good.

Rating: 4.0 out of 4.0 - another bullseye by this author
