Wizard Bound by Adam and Christian Boustead is a collection of poems written to satisfy the fantasy lover in all of us by providing poems that not only linger on the imagination but shine a light into a magical world that has endured for countless ages.
The collection of work provided by both Adam and Christian remains light in its approach to attract readers of all ages but the extent of powerful lyrical accomplishments within Wizard Bound will entice lovers of fantasy and those who fondly remember the movies, the role-playing games, and the fascination of magical worlds and supernatural beings from our long-forgotten childhoods.
Adam and Christian expertly detail the world of fantasy in all its glory including mythical creatures, supernatural beings, medieval settings, and even odes to novelists Ursula Le Guin and Alex Garner within their collection of poems showcasing not only their talent, but their overall understanding and love of the genre and the lifetime of loyalty that comes with this fascinating world of magic, Gods, and creatures of myth. The pieces within Wizard Bound, although seeming to be mainly geared for young adult audiences, will still touch older readers with nuances and nostalgia and fascinate with its additional work in the realm of Japanese folklore and RPG video games.
An easy read to most, Wizard Bound may seem like simple poetry but within its magical offerings, readers will find deeper meanings and understandings for some of our most cherished memories, lessons, and fears. Thought provoking as well as enjoyable, Wizard Bound can be considered a perfect addition to any fantasy lover’s collection, a touching tribute to the mythical and supernatural worlds we have followed and learned from, and a great introduction to readers who are just starting their journey into poetic offerings. It may not be perfect for all, but for those of us who live and breathe wonderment and magical places beyond our own reality, it’s an engrossing trip through several areas of the fantasy genre and one you would be foolish not to buy a ticket to enjoy.

I love poetry, but rarely do I find a collection of fantasy-based poetry. It's such a rare topic that I must admit I was skeptical going in that poems could possibly do justice to magic and fantastical creatures while still being enjoyable. I'm so glad that this collection exceeded my expectations! If you enjoy poetry and love magic then this book is a must read!

I greatly enjoyed this opportunity to read poetry set in the world of science fiction. This is a use of the genre that, in my opinion, does not happen enough. The poems in this book are organized alphabetically and include a variety of topics. A great and entertaining work from start to finish.

What can one say about forgotten creatures and magical ones, turned into poems ? Dragons, Elves, Phoenix and more all captured by the two authors in majestic verses. These individual verses go to make a diverse collection which transport you back in time, to a time of magic, Wizards, Dragons and so much more!

Wizard Bound is a collection of medievalesque poems with a Greek mythology twist. Written by Adam and Christian Boustead, this collection of numerous works whisks the reader through the mythical realm as if on the back of a dragon.

Given To Me For An Honest Review
This book is one filled with poetry about dragons and unicorns. It is different than ones I have read before as they are so original and very unique. Adam and Christian Boustead have done a fabulous job in writing their poems and I know that they are on their way to the top. I also liked when they pointed out who inspired or in who's honor a poem was. That was quite nice. My two favorites are "Prayer To Muse" by Christian and "Phoenix" by Adam. They really touched me. These poems are great for YA and above. I have given this book 5 stars but I wish I could give it 10+ stars instead. It is a really good book of poetry. I highly recommend it to all.
