Who needs a Master Wizard anyway?

Major Wilbur Wiggles doesn't know it yet, but all four of his older brothers have been killed in combat. The military brass has tried to notify him, but the Major's squad has gone dark because their radios are out. Spotting an opportunity, the Fates summon Gungren for the second leg of his three-part Fate Quest. They task him with hunting down Major Wiggles on behalf of the army. His goal is to find the man, get him to army headquarters, and then take him back home so that Mrs. Wiggles doesn't lose her only remaining son.As if that wasn't tough enough, Gungren and Whizzfiddle had a falling out. That means Gungren won't have his master's help during this quest...or will he?Fans of Monty Python and Discworld will find a grand new playground in the Tales From the Land of Ononokin series.INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR:Q: What makes the Tales From the Land of Ononokin series special? A: I had just finished watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy and was thinking how much fun it would be to create a fantasy world of my own that brought in a very strange mix of our present-day cultures and those of the Middle Ages. I also wanted to alter the myths regarding standard fantasy races around a bit. I essentially turn normal fantasy on its head wherever possible, and it makes each book a laugh-out-loud blast. Q: So, why should readers give these books a try? A: Because Tales From the Land of Ononokin is a wonderful world to play in. It has comedy, interesting characters, tons of world elements to discover, and a never-ending supply of story ideas. Plus, it's not politically correct. It's also not intended for the kiddies, which means that you'll get mild adult humor thrown into the mix as well. ...and have I mentioned that the main wizard in the first story has to get a bit sloshed in order to do magic? Come on... that's funny! Tales From the Land of Ononokin Fantasy eBook Categories:

I spent the majority of my childhood reading and writing science fiction while learning the craft of storytelling. As I got older, I found myself working in the video games industry, which helped me to understand the concept of design, structure, and layout. One of the key components of my style is humor. I can certainly create serious stories, and have plans to do just that, but I can't help but admit that working in comedy is a lot more fun.
Here are the worlds that I'm currently working in:
* Tales from the Land of Ononokin - comedic fantasy
* The Intergalactic Research Bureau - comedic s.f.
All of my books are published through Crimson Myth Press ( www.crimsonmyth.com ).
I live in Southern California (U.S.A.) with my wife and an ever-growing population of critters.

Silly, silly, book...in a wonderful and entertaining way!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 16, 2017

Another winner from the team of John Logsdon and Christopher Young!

This story is a continuation of the saga of Gungren, the tiny giant who is trying to become a "real" wizard by going on quests. It opens with a meeting by the Fates whom we last encountered in Book 5 of the series, "The Kidnapped Prince". The Fates are trying to think up a new quest for Gungren to embark on in his ongoing journey toward wizardship. They finally decide to have Gungren locate and return to his mother, a soldier, whose four brothers have been killed during a war. If this plot line seems a bit like that of "Saving Private Ryan" I suspect that it's no coincidence. Being familiar with the authors' interesting but quirky sense of humor, that similarity was probably deliberate, but trust me, this is no "Saving Private Ryan" by a longshot..

Gungren has already undergone part 1 of his "makeover" which he won from completing the first quest assigned to him. The Fates have given him a new set of perfectly aligned and very white teeth (which of course look completely out of place in the tiny Giant's mouth).

There is a misunderstanding early on, however Gungren as usual perseveres...obviously you will have to read the book to learn how. Suffice it to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it was a pleasure meeting Gungren again and being able to watch him strive over and over again to always be honorable and to do good thing. He is such an appealing little character, I wish him well always.

This latest book is just as lovingly crafted as the previous ones have been and I know you will enjoy reading it.

If you haven't read any of the other books in this series your missing out! Do yourself a favor and read them! A person first instinct when reading comedic fantasy writing is to compare it to Terry Pratchett and his Discworld series. This would be a big mistake. These two series are totally different in styles. Ononokin stands on its on merits and deserves to be read that way.

Saving Major Wiggles is just plain fun! It's a fast paced story that will have you caring for the characters and you won't put the book down till you see what happens to them next! If your like me you will be anxiously waiting for the third quest to see how this all turns out!

Not one of the best stories just a stretching out of Gungren's three quests which should wrap up next book. I hope.

I am so enjoying reading this series. I love the humor that you bring to you characters. And it's fun trying to figure out who will be the speaker at the end of each tale.

Wizard's apprentice Gungren is back as he continues the quests granted to him by The Fates.

How will Gungren complete his latest quest to bring Major Wiggles safely home from the war ? What rewards await Gungren if he does it?

Answer these questions and maybe learn a bit more about The Twelve and The Fates by reading this book.

Poor Gungren, the former giant

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 16, 2017

Poor Gungren, the former giant, now apprentice wizard. His struggle to get through his apprenticeship is real, and we get to watch. And giggle. And groan. A funny, well paced book, building on previous Tales of Ononokin, but very readable on its own. Lots of memorable characters that I hope show up in future books, as I'm always eager to read books by Logsdon and Young. Keep them coming, please!

Another fun read in Ononokin

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 17, 2017

Another fun read in Ononokin. This is a quick read, and once again full of interesting characters and strange adventures. The only thing keeping my from giving it 5 stars is that I found things somewhat easy to predict, and I need a little more tension and some good villains to really keep my attention.

He’s not the most solid and firm writer in fantasy humorous history and he can be a bit careless about his build up and plotVERS

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 24, 2018

Logsdon has the ability of being erratic like an old albatross without the motion sickness and if”n you like your entertainment to be a little bit off key and as randomly generated from a madman’s capacity to I rationalize the mundane as you dreamed it is in a special hell for corrupt lawyers you are where you should be right now

Thankfully the same as usual.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have been an avid reader of John's Ononokin books since I first discovered them at the "Quest of Undoing" stage. I have loved them, and have been looking forward to Saving Major Wiggles since he first mentioned it.

I think I can safely reveal that this is the second of the three quests Gungren needs to complete to become a full wizard and to prevent him being turned back into a Giant.

The characters are, as usual, well thought out and work very well together. The situation is at once ludicrous and yet so typically military. The task is absurd and yet works perfectly. This book contains war, it contains love, it contains sadness, it contains laughter, it contains deception, it contains honesty. It has everything you could possible want.

I am trying really hard to do this without giving anything away because you need to come at this completely clean. Let it unwind and envelope you in the beautiful silliness of it all. But most of all, do read it. It is worthy of the time spent and you will not be let down.

More Gungren and Whizzfiddle, what's not to like?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is the next installment of Gungren's quest in the Land of Ononokin and would work best if you had read the previous books, Quest of Undoing and the Kidnapped Prince, however this is not essential as enough is explained. If you haven't read these before then be prepared to laugh out loud :-) It's great to see Gungren and Whizzfiddle back as well as the Quest media team. There are a wide range of characters both known and new, some of whom will probably remind you of people you know?! If you like Discworld and/or Monty Python (I love both) then I recommend given Ononokin a chance but be warned you may get hooked?!

Saving Major Wiggles is the sixth instalment of the Tales ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 16, 2017

Saving Major Wiggles is the sixth instalment of the Tales from the land of Ononokin,and it is another triumph for John Logsdon and Chris Young.
It covers the second part of the Quests that Gungren and Whizzfiddle must undertake in order for Gungren to gain the status of full wizard, so whilst not exactly crucial,you may want to read the previous books before you dive into 'Major Wigges.'
It is a cracking tale full of characters old and new, and is packed with the humour you come to expect from these books. Can't wait for book seven! 5 stars!

A nice addition to the Ononokin series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

I loved the new addition to the Ononokin series. This book follows the second part of Gungren's fate quest, the first few paragraphs start a bit slow, however the book soon picks up the pace so stick with it.

There is the same level of comedy evident in this book as in the rest of the series...slight hints of dark humour, mixed in with some gentle laughter and full on laugh out loud moments. There are some new characters that have been well thought out and show glimmers of a Pratchett like sense of the world.

All in all, a good read.

Following on from book 5, this is the second quest and continues the amusing story of a wizard's quests. I have have read all previous books books and this one does not disappoint either. Characters are continue to develop and new ones enter that remind you of people you know! Beautifully written, funny sometimes even with a groan! If you like wizards, fantasy or are a Terry Pratchett can then you will love these books.
