Oathbound+Wizard

=Oathbound Wizard Review =     The review is going to be Q and A based and about theme (challenges). I hope you like it !!!  Theme: Challenges

Thematic STATEMENT: Challenges can be hard ( DUH ) but many have hidden rewards.

Title: Oathbound Wizard

Author: Christopher Stasheff

Setting: Mideval Times in a Dieminsion where words are magic and poems are spells

Point of view: First Person

Main Characters and a BRIEF description of each: Matthew Mandrell - a collage student who came from our dieminsion and is now Merovenc's Lord Wizard. He is deeply in love with Alisande. Alisande - A good Queen in Merovenc, she is deeply in love with Matt but can't act upon that love because of her queenly duties. Gordogrosso - an evil sorcerer king whos rule is corrupting Iliad. Matt swears to kill him and take his throne to marry Alisande.

Central conflict and how it was related to the theme: Matt must defeat Gordogrosso to marry Alisande but he also gives Iliad its rightful king. The challenge of defeating Gordogrosso is ovious and so is the expected reward but when Fadecourt shows he is the rightful heir he takes the throne knowing that Alisande will still wed Matt.

How was the theme developed? Matt must escape with magic while gagged. This was thought impossible untill he did it. He must also face the greatest evil in the world when he fights Gordogrosso But in the end Iliad has Its rightful king ( hidden reward) and Matt marries Alisande ( the hopful reward ).

Would you read another story by this author? Explain: I doubt it because the boots are hard to find and the " mideval " accent is very hard to read.
