Description In Favor Of Books Wizard at Large (Magic Kingdom of Landover #3)
Meh. Just, meh. Definitely a low point in the series. As with the previous book in the series, there are two story lines going on throughout the entire book. 1) Quester, the wizard thinks that he has found the magic that allows him to turn Abernathy back from the dog form, in which he is stuck, to his natural human form. The catch? It requires Ben to give Abernathy the medallion that makes Ben king of Landover. Surprise, surprise, something goes wrong and Abernathy is transported back to Ben's old world (our world), and in his place appears a bottle. Ben and Willow go back to our world to find Abernathy and get the bottle. 2) This bottle holds a Darkling, something of a genie in a bottle. It grants wishes, but it only draws on the wishers flaws. The bottle is stolen and is making its way around Landover, wrecking havoc. Quester is sent to retrieve the bottle.
Neither of these story lines are particularly strong, and they simply don't weave well together. Plot #2 feels plodding and gets in the way of the far more interesting, Plot #1. Both plots actually suffer from the way they are weaved together. The flow is broken repeatedly, and not in a "Oh! I want to know what happens next!" sort of way, but in a "Oh! Back to this now?" sort of way. Simply, no good.
I also felt as though I'd already read this story. Ben loses medallion. Ben searches for medallion. It's the same basic story as the last book. The last 40 pages or so saves the entire book, however. They really are the most interesting pages because it didn't feel like more of the same.
Ben's still a clueless idiot, but at least he's clever from time-to-time in this novel of Landover. Willow is still a sadly underused character. Quester has finally become half competent. Abernathy, well, Abernathy's still a sullen douche - which makes him the most well rounded character of the bunch.Rating About Books Wizard at Large (Magic Kingdom of Landover #3)

Evil again stalks the Magic Kingdom of Landover and the king has been snatched away...of course I wonder why he keeps "trusting" Questor. To say his spells don't always turn out right is much like saying that bricks seldom fly on their own.Fun reads, and meant to be fun.Book Review: 2 Treasure BoxesThere is a lot going on and I found the story to be interesting, exciting and well written. All the characters are interesting, but I did not think there was much development in their characters, they all are pretty much what they are. I liked the ending of the story. The book had a good build up to the final conclusion. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.This is a stand alone story which I always find satisfying, yet it is also clearly part
I thought this book was really interesting and it made me think of things took me to another world an imaginative place. The things they describe the gnomes by would make you think of evil toward and I would too but for some reason they respect enough too not take and steal his things without asking, but they know he is generous caring person and is not stingy so they like to take advantage of him and ask for things a lot because they know he will support and help them. People also seem to
So here's my review on Wizard at Large, the third book of the 'Magic Kingdom of Landover' series🔮Ben Holiday is faced with another challenge after Questor Thews, the court wizard continues to persist and try to change Abernathy, the talking dog back to his human form. His attempt at magic turns out to be a major fail once again💥 And, he exchanges him for a mysterious magic bottle that releases the Darkling in Landover🕷😈 Meanwhile, Abernathy is transported to Earth wearing the medallion that
The series continues with another fast paced adventure. Very much enjoy the dialog and characters.
Ok. This one was fun...well, the other two in the series were fun too. I really think the title for this one is slightly misleading for various purposes but it was still fun.The plot is probably the least strong plot because it focuses primarily on Abernathy rather than Ben Holiday. That being said, the climax was so ridiculous and so funny that I absolutely loved it. It is probably the best climax of any book in the series.I thought that as Ben Holiday represents people trying to escape their
Having to search our world for the magiced away Abernathy, King Ben's right hand man and Wheaten Terrier, Ben discovers just how much Londover and Willow mean to him. Took me a little longer to read this one and I skimmed it more than a little.
