World's First Wizard #2
Sorcerybound
The weight of the world would be enough but what if the world is on fire?
Well, then you fight fire with fire, and maybe a few of the undead for good measure, if you are Milo Volkohne that is.
But Milo’s cracking as the War grinds on.
Armies move and monsters scheme from the shadows as the fate of an entire nation hangs in the balance.
So no one’s got time for a broken wizard, even if he’s the only one.
Doomsday plots wait for no witch so with few new allies and too many new enemies, Milo’s going to have his work cut out for him.
At least it’s not the end of the world, right? Go up and Click ' Buy Now' or ' Read for Free ' and re-enter the darkened world where so far, no one has won World War I and now dark monsters are choosing sides.

About the author
Aaron D. Schneider
37 books16 followersAaron was born to parents who taught him two very important things: truth matters and imagination is not a crime.
Our protagonist has spent the rest of his life trying to live out those two maxims, much to the chagrin of every unfortunate around him (progenitors included).
As such, by age six or seven, he was writing stories about a dark, reptilian avenger who brought final, painful justice to the guilty- with unsettling illustrations to boot. His beloved and benighted parents realized that budding sociopathy would simply not do, and so they began introducing him to tales of great and good heroes. First the account of a certain carpenter, then a hairy-footed burglar, then a savior lion, and after that point our protagonist was plunging face first and arms out into a world of heroism both real and imagined. While far from a hero himself, he has endeavored to try and capture that same bowed but unbroken spirit that dwells in a dark and ugly world, because that as far as he can tell is what makes it all worth while.
Along this rambling, dreaming way he managed to find a woman he could bamboozle into loving him, and then even have children with, Lord have mercy on them all.
Now Aaron has managed to cram no few exciting jobs and hair-raising experiences into his life so far, and God help him, he hopes for many more. It is these that drive his captured glimpses of something epic. If you have the time you should pull up a chair, grab a beer, light a pipe, or whatever your pre-literary consumption ritual may be and give them a look. It's been said they are truly monstrous, but as any true hero knows, monsters often guard treasure.

This was a good follow on from book one, though still full of the violence of war.
But I guess the period in time being shown, was as full of war and death in our World, then, as it is. in this 'alternative' Earth.
The War in this World is slowly, but surely, grinding up its own Eastern Europe, and Milo, the Human Wizard, is seeing quite a lot of it, in his search for information, and his training.
There's still much that he needs to learn, but his lessons, in Fey magic, is making him someone not to take too lightly, and plenty have found that out to their cost.
I'm still very much enjoying this trilogy, and am about to start Book Three: 'Wizardborn', to see if Milo can find out more details of his parentage!
This is a series well worth reading!
So, I'm going to start book three and, once I've finished reading it, I'll catch you on the flip side, where I'll let you know what this final book will tell me, about the secrets of Milo's beginnings!

Another excellent adventure with Milo
Some interesting developments are happening in this book both in Milo's personal life and in wider world. Looking forward to unwrapping the mystery of his tarot card.

Not really liking this story
Milo is not easy to like, he is at times petty and vindictive. He has been traumatized by his life and is self serving for the most part. His redeeming qualities are will to succeed and dedication to a cause. But his flirtation with a fey Countess is one of the bright spots in a depressing world.

A Great Book 2
It is fun to watch Milo continue to grow into himself. I also love his character development as he continues to struggles with his past. Looking forward to book 3.

The main character is still just as unlikable. Somehow he magically learns another school of magic. And there's a half baked attempt to add romance
