How to Kill a Wizard

by Arthur King

Fact: Some people need killing. Fact: Sometimes it is hard.
“It’s so horrible. He controls her mind. She follows him around like a slave, he dresses her how he wants, uses her for sex, and has her cooking for him. She’s a slave, she doesn’t know me or anyone, and she’s happy about it, because of his magic,” the boy said.

Some people needed killing, Gunnolf had always believed that, still he was a mace-man , a thug for hire. He didn't kill wizards, he certainly didn't kill this one, Yolland the grand, head of their little school. At least he had a chance unlike this angry boy and he was pretty sick of his life, it might be his last chance to get the gods to notice him.

"50 gold and if i die trying you pay the Carthian temple for me. I want two bulls sacrificed in my name."

This PG15 tale involves a sellsword, an untrained female mage, and the local magical establishment, and takes a full day to read.

I started this book without a lot of expectations, and after the first few chapters, I was still debating whether I wanted to keep reading, but I’m so glad I did.
While there are many times that the author’s writing felt redundant or inexperienced, the premise of this book is captivating and I was excited to learn more about the characters.
I feel that this author has a lot to offer and I would love to see him expand on and really flesh out his world building in a more mature way. I would also love to see the dialogue less forced as I absolutely loved the character dynamics being played with in this book.
This is a fun tale and I cannot wait to read more from this author!
