Review of Mulogo’s Treatise on Wizardry by Joseph J. Bailey
5 stars
I reviewed a complimentary e-book copy provided in return
for my fair and impartial review.
I’m kind of pleased that I don’t have to know Wizard Mulogo
in real life; after 3,000 plus years of life, the man is a little-well,
egotistical. He does, however, in some cases know his stuff (he masquerades as
a confectioner in order to avoid adventuring mobs seeking plunder) and his
conceit, when backdropped by his scribe’s footnoted humour, is laugh-out-loud
tongue-in-cheek droll. So, if you really want to learn to be a wizard, you
might do better to try another grimoire; but if you want to chuckle over those
long-set-in-stone conventions of the fantasy genre, role-playing games, and
other such appurtenances, then grab up Mulogo’s Treatise on Wizardry (with its
longer extended title) and laugh right along. Personally, although I’m not
planning on taking up wizardry nor a three-millenium life, I am anticipating
Author Bailey’s next tome.
