"The Counsel of Wizards is book 2 of The Sunset of Magic Series, but although reading book 1 (which is excellent by the way), would enhance the novel, book 2 is perfectly capable of standing alone. Like book 1, it is well-written, and set in beautifully imagined worlds sporting a cast of colourful characters. Alistair Potter is a skillful author whose clear, unhurried prose and well constructed plots will leave you with a pleasant, lasting memory of his work. Highly recommended - I am looking forward to reading the next adventure in this series." - Charles Remington for Readers’ Favorite "The Counsel of Wizards by Alistair Potter is a great adventure tale. It is heavy on character development and I found the characters unique and intriguing. It is a tale of magic and sorcery, but the magic, while well developed, is not used as the answer to every problem. The magic cannot be easily called upon for every situation as the central magic user, Grant Moy, is new to magic and is still developing his ability. On top of being new to magic, though, he is a good scholar. Grant is young and has to develop confidence in himself before he can master anything. We can see his growth as a man and a wizard and it is very well written. The Counsel of Wizards by Alistair Potter is the second book in The Sunset of Magic Series. Grant Moy has learned that he has magic powers and is still finding his way. He can’t call on his powers whenever he wants to, however, and that makes things a little difficult at times. His life is challenging, but, as a good scholar, he finds his own way although his confidence needs some development before he can truly master his abilities. Things are about to heat up for Grant, though, when the Wizard Torven, a powerful wizard who is dying, requests his help. Will this be the push that Grant needs to develop his powers and learn how to use them properly? And what role does Bort, the last Trollid, play in Grant’s life?
"The Counsel of Wizards by Alistair Potter is the second book in The Sunset of Magic series. After reviewing the first book in the series, I knew I’d be taking a very long journey with this author. Yes, I was hooked by the powerful plot line, the excellent prose, and the complex characters. The second installment is also very captivating and it begins with a powerful hook: “Lad, I am about to reveal a secret. A secret I was sworn to keep by a surprising and unusual friend called Torven.” These are the words spoken by the father of the protagonist just at the beginning of the story, capturing the reader’s interest and announcing the conflict. After speaking these words, the old man, Endor, informs the young scholar Grant Moy that the dying Wizard Torven needs him, but for what? Thus begins a tale of great adventure, but does Grant have what it takes to fulfill a mission that requires great strength, knowledge, and magic? |
