Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

A spell to restore the Court Scribe of Landover to human form backfires, and Landover's King embarks on a quest to his native world to rescue his friend and retrieve the medallion of Kingship from the clutches of a greedy wizard. Humor abounds in this engaging fantasy as Brooks continues the adventures of King Ben, Questor Thews, Abernathy, and their companions. Recommended where the series is popular. JC

Product Description

Questor Thews is only a semi-competent wizard, but when High Lord Ben Holiday and his love Willow need use of his powers, he tries to comply. He tries, all right, but he doesn't have all that much faith in himself--not since he turned a terrier into an imp. Still, he'll do what he can.... --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars This series continues to roll on with energy, Mar 25 2006
This review is from: Wizard at Large (Mass Market Paperback)
The landover works are very well done, with stand out characters. Action, missteps, all done with great skill. Keep up the good work!!

If you like books like this one, might I suggest another I've recently come across. The Unsuspecting Mage by Brian S. Pratt. It's another fantasy adventure sure to please. I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice addition, April 12 2004
By Tyler Tanner (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Wizard at Large (Mass Market Paperback)
The third book in the series starts off with very excited Questor who is positive that he can now revert Abernathy the court scribe and talking terrier back to his human form. During the incantation Questor sneezes and instead of tranforming him, he transports him. To Earth and in the castle/fortress of the original heir to Landover, Michael Ard Rhi. Much had been made of this guy in first two installments and Terry Brooks does not disappoint. This is one of the authors best villians. Ben immediatly crosses back over to go get him. Willow comes along. Leaving Questor in charge, hence the title of the book. Questor now has the task of recovering a magical bottle complete with a evil bottle imp that is reeking havoc in the land. All thanks to the filthy and meddling G'home Gnomes, Philip and Sot.

The one thing that I have always liked about this series is that in the beginning, the hero is just as clueless to the world Landover as the reader. The world starts off small and Brooks is great at adding layer after layer with each book. The last book was more focused on the character growth of Ben. Here it concentrates more on Questor, Abernathy and, surprisingly, the ambiguous River King. There is a great battle between wizard and dragon, but there is also another incident that happens on earth that, while good, strains belief even for a fantasy. All in all, a great book and fans of the series will not feel cheated. Makes you definitely want to get the next one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worst book in the series, Dec 2 2003
By Kyle Quirk (Huntley, ILL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wizard at Large (Mass Market Paperback)
A Wizard At Large
By: Terry Brooks
ISBN: 0345362276

In the place of Landover, a Magic Kingdom, there are rules about magic and Dragons. For example A dragon can go back to earth and back without using magic. A human has to have magic or a special medallion that has magic in it.

This story takes place in Landover. Landover has wizards, fairies and dragons in it. The problem of the story was that a man got changed into a dog to hide from an evil wizard. The reason he was hiding was because he beat a kid for throwing dogs off the top of the castle. A wizard named Questor is trying to make the man come back. He had an almost perfect spell. In the middle of the spell he sneezes and sends the dog somewhere and a bottle appears with an evil demon inside of it. The rest of the book is about the people of Landover searching for the dog and the bottle.

I thought this book was real stupid. I don't recommend the book to anyone. The plot was to farfetched. How could a guy buy a magic kingdom? I don't think anyone would like this book. This book was kind of related to the Lord Of The Rings. The good wizard was like Gandalf except he couldn't get any spells right.

4.0 out of 5 stars yeah, this one is good too
Brooks makes this one very lighthearted as well, which is nice. The friendship between Abernathy and the earthling is a very cool touch. Poor dragon by the way. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars It was better than the Black Unicorn
This one was better than Landover #2 (the Black Unicorn). It was okay, but sort of childish in some parts. Not the best one in the series though. Read more
