Review

An excellent fast-paced read, and the young hero is a charmer, as is his tutor. If you like those notorious books about a certain young English wizard, you'll love UNWELCOME LEGACY! -- E. Daly Reviews

Don't miss this latest book from K.G. McAbee! Action, adventure, and a fully-realized magical world that will knock your socks off! -- PMM Review

K.G. McAbee has become one of my favorite e-authors! This novel, like all the others she has written, is so well formed that I feel as though I know the characters as well as my myself. I hope to see future books with these characters since I have become so attached. A KEEPER YOU WILL RE-READ OFTEN!

Highly recommended reading! -- Detra Fitch, HUNTRESS BOOK REVIEWS

5.0 out of 5 stars Unwelcome Legacy a Welcome Read!, October 16, 2000

This review is from: Unwelcome Legacy (CD-ROM)

Once again, McAbee captures, delights and intrigues fantasy lovers with the story of Lord Erek, a 'wizard in training', who doubts his talents, but not his friends. While the novel basically follows young Erek's growth as a young man, and an Adept, it also touches on the sweet and poignant relationship between Erek's tutor and Dia, his former student, now a military commander. All in all, a fun fantasy romp with characters that are larger than life and just plain wonderful to know. Action, adventure, silliness, magic, heroism and a few twists and turns thrown in. If the book were any more fun, it'd be illegal. :-)Read LEGACY and you'll buy all of McAbee's other books. She's a talent not to be missed!

This review is from: Unwelcome Legacy (CD-ROM)

Lord Erek of Taragreen had shown talent in magic. His aunt, Lady Ivera, had tutors brought in to teach Erek only what a high born family considered appropriate. But Magister Andru realized that the young boy showed potential to surpass even the talents of magisters! Erek could become one of the rare master adepts! Andru feared for the boy because most noble families would rather murder their children or other family members than let them become a master adept. Lady Ivera was such a one. So Erek and Andru sought out a Commander in the Queen's Armies of the North!

Commander DiaVandryn was one of the Queen's best! Two of her men, Captain Ursyn and Captain Vlad, dwelled in her manor. They kept each other in trim and fighting form. Many plotted and were determined to have Queen Viianne dethroned. Dia was just as determined to keep Her Majesty alive and well. When her dearest friend, Andru, asked for her help in delivering Erek safely to Malmillard Academy, she immediately agreed! Dia knew from experience the danger that the young lord was in. Thus began a perilous journey over mountains, plains, and sea. All the while evil tracked them from behind. Magical evil that sought the deaths of them all ... and eventually the Queen's.

***** Fantasy gets no better than this! K.G. McAbee [pulls] her readers into her magical realm, never to escape! I could almost believe the author to be a sorceress, herself! This adventure holds onto its readers tighter than Super Glue! Each character has their own personality and history. Each have their own quirks and wit. You won't want to put this story down! Highly recommended! Destined for the "Keeper" shelves! *****
