Overview

Gerald Dunwoody is a wizard. Just not a particularly good one. He's blown up a factory, lost his job, and there's a chance that he's not really a Third Grade wizard after all. So it's off to New Ottosland to be the new Court Wizard for King Lional.

It's a shame that King Lional isn't the vain, self-centered young man he appeared to be. With a Princess in danger, a talking bird who can't stay out of trouble, and a kingdom to save, Gerald soon suspects that he might be out of his depth. And if he can't keep this job, how will he ever become the wizard he was destined to be...

THE ACCIDENTAL SORCERER is the first novel in the Rogue Agent trilogy, from one of fantasy's newest stars.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Karen Miller (The Riven Kingdom) launches a trilogy, her first venture as Mills, with this droll tale of magical bureaucracy. Gerald Dunwoody, a Third Grade wizard and lowly safety inspector for Ottosland's Department of Thaumaturgy, inadvertently blows up a factory while trying to save it. Summarily fired, Gerald takes a job in almost bankrupt New Ottosland as royal court wizard for King Lional the 43rd. To prove his powers to the doubtful king and his put-upon sister, Prime Minister Princess Melissande, Gerald turns a cat into a lion and transforms the dowdy princess into a literally bewitching fashion plate, but preventing war between New Ottosland and Kallarap and making a highly illegal dragon for the king may be beyond his will and abilities. Miller's whimsical prose keeps the plot jumping and the readers laughing. (Jan.)

Engaging without being drippy.

I found the characters to be engaging and real - like people I know. Hidden talents, hidden aspirations, classy yet disregarded. Smart without always NEEDING to show it. I want to read the sequel, NOW. Romantic without being excessively sex-driven. I think it would be a fun play or movie.

good fantasy - fun characters

Quite an enjoyable story. The characters are offbeat and evolving throughout this book and the 2nd (Witches Incorporated). The 2nd book was a little slower to read - but it picked up speed as the story came together. I'm looking forward to the 3rd book! Great job Ms. Mills! I'm looking forward to book three and new inspirations.

New writer making a name

This was a great way to start a career. The characters are believable, if a bit naive at times, and are hilarious. The plot draws from different cultures to bring us an old fairy tale with some really unexpected twists around each corner.

fabulous fantasy

Twenty-three-year-old Gerald Dunwoody was a Grade Three Wizard at Ottosland's Department of Thaumaturgy. His rank means he is at the bottom of the food chain and soon learns a lesson about pyramidal hierarchies as sh*t rolls down hill. Someone has to take the fall for the PR and budgetary nightmare of blowing up a factory so though he followed orders and since he accidentally did the deed, his superiors claim they are clean and blame the moronic rogue at total fault for the accident. He loses his good government job, the lowest form of public debasement known to the people.
---
Although he is depressed as he assumes he stinks at being a wizard since no one breathing loses a bureaucratic job, his companion, Reg the magical raven believes otherwise. Reg thinks Gerald is a super mage lacking proper training. Meanwhile Gerald obtains a second government job as the court wizard in the remote isolated kingdom of New Ottosland. It is ruled by King Lional, who has big plans to expand his kingdom assisted by his new mage. Gerald just wants his employer to be the usual royal egomaniac, who rules over nothing while his loyal subjects play make believe that his domain is a country. Instead his regal ambitious boss demands his new employee turn into a lethal sorcerer. With Reg as his mentor advisor, Gerald begins his new job knowing there is the threat of being fired again with no other exile placement available.
---
Somewhat tongue in cheek, THE ACCIDENTAL SORCERER, the first book of the Rogue Agent saga, is a fabulous fantasy starring an individual who seems so inept that he has to take a position in as remote a land as one will find in the Mills universe. Only his friend Reg believes otherwise as even Gerald assumes he stinks at wizardry 101; his new employer may have grandiose schemes but figures Gerald is an idiot or he would not be in the end of the world. Fans will relish Gerald¿s escapades as K.E. Mills provides a strong opening act with this wonderful coming of age (though he admittedly has a long way to go) fantasy tale.

Great book

At first I had a bit of trouble getting into this book, just because of some of the wording. To me it reads very British. Nothing wrong with that, just not used to reading it. Right away I liked Gerald and Reg. They are quite a pair. I love the feel of the wizardry in the modern world, sort of. The kingdoms and camel trains threw my picture of the modern world off but yet they had telephones. Regardless, it's a great world. I had no trouble, once I got used to the writing, getting into this book. I enjoyed every bit of it. There's plenty of drama, a bit of adventure, a evil bad guy, the squeaky clean good buy, and humor. It's all blended together nicely.

It didn't keep me on the edge of my seat but it didn't bore me either. I look forward to more books in this series and suggest you read this great book.

Original Idea, Characters Starting to Repeat

Karen Mills has written a few other series before this book and I have enjoyed them, but as I read through The Accidental Sorcerer, I noticed she tended to reuse the same female protagonist. Strong, independent, always wants her way, throws a fit if she doesn't get her way and all the men cave, usually quite unconventional about doing things. I have no problem with strong, independent women who show initiative and quirkiness - but using the exact same template for every series and having them always get their way gets a little old by the end of the book/series. Otherwise, the world she has created is very fascinating and I enjoyed the flow of the story.
