Dreadful by Caitlin Rozakis

 


Gav wakes up with his memories gone and his eyebrows burned off.  He appears to be in a wizard's workshop.  As he tries to determine what is going on, he slowly realizes that he is the wizard and apparently one who is known for cruelty and intimidation of those around him.  His castle is staffed by goblins and his village is known for growing garlic. 

Gav doesn't want to be an evil wizard.  He is appalled when he realizes that he apparently has kidnapped a princess and is holding her prisoner.  It is even worse when he realizes that she is to be a sacrifice when three other dark wizards show up in a few days and try to call another being from another world to rule this one.  

This is Caitlin Rozakis debut novel and it is a light fantasy that will delight the ruler.  Gav goes on a journey to change himself from an evil wizard to a guy anyone could like, maybe even a certain princess?  The tone is light as Gav goes on his journey and he discovers that those around him are more than he had ever imagined them to be.  This book is recommended for fantasy readers.
