Spellmonger (The Spellmonger Series) ReviewAnyone who's read or seen Lord of the Rings, not to mention countless other fantasy novels, movies, or games, is familiar with the issue of the invading goblin horde. Numerous, green, nasty... and somewhat of a fantasy stereotype. Mancour's greatest achievement in "Spellmonger" is taking this stereotype and really making it feel unique. The characters are great, starting off in recognizable archetypes (the tired Warmage Minalan, the wise lord, etc), but transforming, growing and changing as the novel progresses and the strain of the siege is felt. The dialogue is solid, the writing style otherwise pleasant, being neither too brief with descriptions, nor too long. There's sufficiently pulse-raising combat scenes, and a suitably high goblin body count too. The plot, though not particularly original, is well executed and entertaining. There are a couple awkward areas towards the end, when Minalan is arguing about his future role, but they don't detract too much from the novel. Overall, I'd say this is an excellent execution of a fantasy staple, and is well worth reading for both new and old fans of fantasy.Spellmonger (The Spellmonger Series) OverviewMinalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: he found a quaint little shop, befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and best yet, he met a pretty young widow with the prettiest eyes . . . Then one night Minalan is forced to pick up his mageblade again to defend his adopted home from the vanguard of an army of goblins - gurvani, they call themselves - bent on a genocidal crusade against all mankind. And that was the good news. The bad news was that their shamans were armed with more magical power than has been seen since the days of the ancient Imperial Magocracy - and their leader, a mysterious, vengeful force of hate and dark magic, is headed directly to Boval valley. The good people of Boval and their spellmonger have only one choice, to hole up in the over-sized Boval Castle and hope they can endure a siege against hundreds of thousands.When the people look to him for hope, Minalan does his best, but there are multitudes of goblins, and they want Boval Vale as a staging ground for an invasion of the whole Five Duchies, and only Minalan is standing in their way. Add a jealous rival mage, a motley band of mercenaries, a delusional liege lord who insists victory is at hand despite the hordes at his door, a mood, pregnant girlfriend and a catty ex-girlfriend who specializes in sex magic -- all trapped in a stinking, besieged castle with no hope of rescue, and you'll understand why Minalan is willing to take his chances with the goblins. All that stands between the gurvani horde and the people of the Five Duchies is one tired, overwhelmed baker's son who wanted nothing more than to be a simple spellmonger.
