Summary: Not so hot
Review: A wizard in mind is a good book but not quite up to Christopher Stasheff's standard. If you don't have a lot to do you might as well read it but i'd reccommend some of his other books first.

Summary: Weak for Stasheff
Review: This book is kind of weak, especially for for his "Gallowglass" series of books. Its almost as if Stasheff himself is kind of done with the "demcracy vs. dictatorship" thing. A lot of the plot points he starts peter out and are wrapped up is a somewhat lame fashion at the end. Its almost as if he did not have the time or interest to properly finish the book. Stasheff is a great author, but this one is lacking.

Summary: Excellent First Outing For Magnus
Review: While the first outing for Magnus holds the same wit and humor as the Warlock series, there are times when it is seen that a new series is being brought to life. Finding himself on a world very much like Renaissance Italy, Magnus takes a guise that will become well know to readers of the later books in this series, Gar Pike. 'Renasissance Italy' finds itself at war, where those left of the former government are fighting each other as their world plunges further into the dark ages. While attempting to help bring peace to this world, as well as a new stable government Magnus (Gar) is also faced with a personal problem. A shadow from his past out to destroy him. While perhaps the setting up of Magnus on his own leaves the reader feeling out of place with a character that had become regular in the 'Warlock' series, 'A Wizard In Mind,' is still one not to be missed. The introduction of Magnus as both 'Gar' and the 'Rouge Wizard' in his own right helps to establish a little better the character for later stories. However I still encourage you to read 'A Wizard in Absentia' as well to gain more insight to the longing that sometimes fills Magnus and why he seems to continually desire and yet fear relationships with women. Be sure not to miss Any of Stasheff's books, including 'A Wizard In Mind.'
