Accidental Archaeologist (Half-Wizard Thordric Book 2) Kindle Edition

Three years have passed since Thordric joined the Wizard Council.

Together with High Wizard Vey, they have reformed the council completely. But while half-wizards can now train their magic freely and join the ranks of the mages, Thordric realizes that there are many who are completely unaware of this.

Traveling to the faraway town of Valley Edge, he meets the young archaeologist Hamlet, who is on his way to a dig site where a new discovery has been made. But not all is as it first appears.

Once again, Thordric has to put his magic to the test - in order to stop the greatest catastrophe their world has ever seen.

This is a standalone novel, and can be enjoyed even if you haven't read other books in the series.

Kathryn Wells is a pen name of writer Kathryn Rossati.

As a child, she found her passion for the written word, and even though she had many other interests growing up, writing was always the one she would return to. Her stories are often laugh out loud funny, with plenty of magic and as many whimsical touches as possible, but if you look closely, darkness often lurks between the lines. She loves conjuring up fantastical worlds and unlikely characters, and when she's not busy writing fiction, she can be found crafting poetry and having her ear talked off by her parrot.

Kathryn is also autistic and ADHD, and enjoys helping other neurodivergent people find their creativity.

Her favourite authors are Diana Wynne Jones, Suzanne Collins, Jonathan Stroud, Neil Gaiman, Garth Nix, J. K, Rowling and David Eddings, to name but a few.

Thordric is a member of the Wizard Council for three years and wants to do more than learning spells. He forms a plan to find other half-wizards so they can train properly. After finding a map of their location, Thordric embarks on his personal quest. Neathin Valley is not all that is seems. His magic and skills are put to the test when a magic catastrophe threatens to take over the world.Overall I enjoyed the book. Thordric is a great character, who cares about people. A great light hearted fantasy with a touch of mystery.

These first two books have been excellent reads. Clean and very entertaining. Looking forward to the future adventures of Wizard Thordric. Recommend for all ages...who want a light escape. (Better proofreading needed, although too late for these published works.)

Every bit as good as Book 1!

This may be a young adult book, but I love the way it progressed, not getting involved in tons of detail. This is an author I am definitely going to follow. Now, I need to read book 3!

This is a quick read. It's definitely YA but the fantasy/mystery combination should engage teens. It is the second book in the series.

I hope there will be more of these stories soon. The stories of Thordric and his adventures move quickly but there is so much more that can happen.

Very satisfying adventure in the world of magic.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb sequel, as good, if not better than the first book!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 8, 2018

Wow, this was excellent! I read the first in the series 2 days ago and couldn't wait to read this one and I wasn't disappointed! Seeing (at least in my mind) the colourful characters come to life was wonderful! Kathryn Wells obviously has a lively imagination as the plot moves along smoothly and not as predictably as one would think in a book of this genre. I know this series is probably aimed at children but it reads beautifully and is a lot of fun, even to someone much older (like me!) I'm really looking forward to the final book.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 29, 2018

Another winner from Kathryn Wells - Thordric goes from strength to strength! I love some of the quirky ideas - clever and funny. I won't spoil it for you by summarising the story - you can read it for yourself - but it answers the question of women and magic at last. More please!
