Morlock Ambrosius

review 1: Fast and humorous if not overly deep fantasy read. A young King's regent attempts to usurp the kingdom as his own, with the "help" of dark forces. It is up to the King's long-lived magical ancestor Ambrosia and her equally long-lived magical swordsman brother, Morlock, to reclaim the realm for the King and hopefully teach him what it means to be King in his own right. Certain authorial choices were a bit distracting (using the word "schlep" for example, or naming a character "Merlin" for another). Still it was a solid, light and entertaining read if nothing more. I might check out some of the other books in the continuing adventures Morlock)
review 2: The first novel about Morlock Ambrosius, although he doesn't actually appear onscreen for the first couple ... morechapters. His sister Ambrosia is acting as advisor to the 12 year old King; politics ensues, but turns out to be merely a cover for dark magics. Morlock is a fascinating character -- old, hunchbacked, taciturn, but an accomplished swordsman and enchanter when called upon. The other characters (his sister; the little King; his dwarf apprentice; various others) are equally well-drawn, and the villains suitably awful. Definitely recommended if you want to stray a little off of the beaten path. less
