Even if it’s been a while since you read a book in this particular High Fantasy world, Jeffe smoothly brings you back into the story, reintroducing characters and settings. Her characters and situations are relatable, believable, and people you want to win against the towering odds Jeffe pits them against. Reluctant Wizard has all that..
