Book Reviews of Mairelon the Magician (The Magician)
Book Review: Magic on the streets of London.
Summary: 4 Stars
A light and very funny fantasy about a thief, a sorceror, and an enchanted serving set. The lodge scene later in the book was a bit confusing, with too many characters and not enough identity to them (or at least, not enough time spent to clearly define them in the reader's mind), and I wish more had been revealed about the magical items in question, but otherwise I enjoyed 'Mairelon' a great deal. I think Doctor Who fans might want to check it out as well; the relationship between Mairelon and Kim is a very Doctor/companion-ish one, and Mairelon himself is suitably mysterious, eccentric, and possesses all the other qualities we love the Doctor for. Think of it as one of his historical adventures, possibly with Paul McGann in the title role.
