Silas & Bundersnoot

by Kalpar

Silas is a wizard, a master of the eight disciplines, with a brain filled with esoteric knowledge and over half a century of adventuring under his belt. Bundersnoot is his cat, perpetually hungry even though he's just been fed. Together, they run a quaint shop in the city, where the good folk of Elade-voc come searching for magical solutions to life's little hiccups. But every now and then, somebody comes to them with a serious problem, one only a semi-retired wizard-and his feline familiar-can solve. If your sister has been bitten by a werewolf or your baby's been stolen by the Fae, Silas and Bundersnoot may be your only hope.



A cozy novella about a wizard and his cat as they tackle the magical intrigues that find their way to their doorstep. Days will be saved, villains will be foiled, and perhaps, most shockingly of all, Bundersnoot will miss a meal. But that's just a potential danger of the job.

Amazing job on this one! VERY well written and I couldn't put it down. The author knows his cats and their attitudes and behaviors. I enjoyed it so much I bought extra copies for friends! A Very entertaining read, and I can't wait for the next installment. (there WILL be another installment, right? RIGHT???)

Absolutely loved it. Silas and Bundersnoot has gotten me out of a reading slump. The book gave off a very episodic RPG Lit feeling, as if you were reading a DND campaign on page. I loved the always hungry Bundsnoot. The sardonic banter between him and Silas is how I imagine what my cat jinx and I would be like if she could talk. 10/10 definitely would recommend!

Bundersnoot is my favorite little guy and I'd low key die for him, ok? That aside, I really enjoyed this piece and found it well written. The writing style is very reminiscent of Robin McKinley, with a dash of Mercedes Lackey and Tamora Pierce. I look forward to seeing more from this author.

This was a comfy look into the world of the working wizard. Tension, excitement and drama made it interesting. For a time, I was transported. I enjoyed this light read. Long live Bundersnoot
