A SINGLE SPELL
Tobas had been lucky to find a wizard to take him on as apprentice. But then the wizard died suddenly and unexpectedly after teaching Tobas only a solitary spell, and the youth was too old to find a new master. How could he earn a living when all the magic he could do was light fires?
A DESTINY UNFOLDING
In the Small Kingdoms there were dragons to be slain, princesses and gold to be won, magic castles, witches who knew the secret of immortality, and other treasures. But how could a wizard with a single, simple spell hope to find them and win them?

4 of 5 stars

Super easy to read and quick to get through. It's good, light, fun reading, nothing too serious, nothing world shattering, nice small scale fantasy with a touch of humour thrown in, and a bit of obligatory romance of course. Not quite as good as The Misenchanted Sword, but still pretty great. Perfect palate cleanser or reading slump preventer.
