Summary: A magic world where a poetry makes magic.
Review: This is the book that got me into reading even though I hated it so much. A very exciting, interesting and romantic book. This book can not simply be described. One would have to read it and see for himself. I don't really like poetry but in this book , it is a way of making magic that is far beyond explainable. The only books I ever read were books for school and I read them because I had to. This book made wanna read it just to see what happened next. This is truly the best book I have ever read.

Summary: Dissappointing
Review: While I truly enjoyed the first book of the series (Her Majesty's Wizard), I found this and subsequent books in the series to be a major dissappointment. The main character never seems to learn anything, nor does Stasheff follow up with his leads from the previous book. Whatever happened to Max telling Sir Guy what orders to give? Or Matt realizing, after a year as a wizard in this world, that words have power? Major gaps like this shouldn't happen even in a poorly-written series; a Wizard in Rhyme had the potential to be so much more.
