5.0 out of 5 stars A quick fun read March 12, 2012

This is a quick, fun read, breezy writing and characters that catch you. In fact, I actually went searching for the "book before this one", hoping a few of the references to past happenings would be explained in the previous volume. (Couldn't find one, alas.) Love to see this expanded, and more background given for the wizard and the mage's former school.

I bought this because the summary sounded interesting, but once I started I pretty much couldn't stop reading. I love the main character, Mary, and I love how she turns the wizarding world on its head over the course of a single tournament! This is definitely worth buying.

If you loved the Harry Potter series, I think you should also enjoy this book. The characters are quirky but interesting, the dialogue is full of witty banter and the magic begins the moment you read the first page. Totally loved the fantasy world that Jody has created with A Mage by Any Other Name. Fun to read and I recommend it.

More About the Author

Jody Wallace grew up in the South in a very rural area. She went to school a long time and ended up with a Master's Degree in Creative Writing. Her resume includes college English instructor, technical documents editor, market analyst, web designer, and general all around pain in the butt. One of her many alter egos is "The Grammar Wench", which should give you an indication of her character. She is a terrible packrat and likes to amass vintage clothing, books, Asian-inspired kitchenware, gnomes, and other items that threaten to force her family out of the house. She also likes cats. A lot.

Ms. Wallace's approach to writing is to tell as many outlandish lies as she can get her readers to swallow. Her dream is to be moderately well-paid for this service. When her stories end up spicy, she releases them as Ellie Marvel.
