The Wacky Wizard Wars

This book was an enjoyable and straightforward read. It is a great book for early readers with an adorable cast of characters. I particularly liked Gnashers and Suskins and their home. Having them originate in Africa was a fun addition to the story that I didn’t expect and enjoyed exploring immensely.

I did think this book was fairly simple. It was fun, but did not really have much depth to it otherwise. The Wizard world felt a little generic, and some of the characters seemed to blend together quite a bit. This is the second book in a series, and though it can be read alone, I don’t know if I missed any world building or character development in the first book that could have added something to this one.

That said, I think the film aspect of this book was a nice addition. I think younger readers would have a great time with how this book progresses. It is paced nicely to keep attention and move the story along before a younger audience would lose focus. The conclusion was satisfying, with enough left to make room for future stories in this world.

Many thanks to the publisher and to NetGalley for the copy in exchange for an honest review.

A cute and entertaining read, well written and engrossing.
The cast of characters is interesting and fleshed out, the world building original and the plot flow.
Recommended!

This is the second book of the Wacky Wizard War - a quick summary is written first so if you have not read the first one. Do not worry as you will be up to date in a few pages.

The great war has ended, the dark lord defeated. As the good wizards live in peace and create a film. A power mad witch is planning a takeover. She stumbles across a coven of modern day ordinary folk witches who she snares into her web. However the expected happen when the dark lord Mortor rises and takes away the leadership.

Who will win in the war of good versus evil?

The start of the book launched straight into the action of what happened. I found it exciting and the language was easy to read. Every now and then a sketch would pop up which was nicely.

The story is easy to follow and I can see plenty of children being engaged in this book :)

I loved this just as much as book 1!
I’m aware this is a middle grade book (7-11 uk) but as a 37 year old I really enjoyed it too 😁
It stayed true to book one and didn’t create a whole new scenario which I appreciated and wizzo is fabulous with his creations.
I’d have loved to have seen more of gnasher and his girlfriend- especially how he’s coping with her! 😂😂

The Wacky Wizard Wars is a very humorous frolic through fantastic worlds where creative children, legendary creatures and the principles of good and moral deeds weave into a captivating story from start to finish. A wonderful journey through unexpected adventures, evoking lots of funny images to entertain youngsters and adults alike!

This book is a quite simple yet entertaining story for young readers. I personally very much enjoy middle-grade books, and this book is a nice introduction to the fantasy genre.
