review 1: This is a combination graphic novel with a novelette (written text) to expand the story. Although I did like it, it was not as good as her other graphic novel "Bloodraven." This is set in the same world, but takes place many years earlier with different characters. The story opens with the aftermath of a battle between two nations. Warrior Ferris is captured and the enemy take sadistic pleasure trying to break him. My main issue with the story was the graphic torture (both visually and written). It may be because there is also a full-length novel companion to Bloodraven that the impact of horrors done to the main character are tempered by his evolving relationship with Bloodraven. Here, the protagonist Ferris is subjected to brutal rape/torture and has to witness ot... morehers being tortured (one resulting in a particularly gruesome death). When he is rescued by Escalon, their brief affair is steamy but leaves a reader hanging because it is over so quickly. The main focus of "Wizard" remains the torture. Hopefully, the author will have a sequel (as she has indicated there will be more graphic novels for Bloodraven as well). There are some typos in the novelette, and the text in bubbles sometimes went to far into the crease, but overall this is a very nice edition for being self-published. Recommended, but NOT for the squeamish or sensitive.
review 2: I read this immediately after I was done Bloodraven since they take place in the same universe. As mentioned, this book is extremely graphical and not recommended for the faint of heart. I had to endure and quickly read through the beginning, which was hard but well rewarding afterwards ;D It's very short and leaves you wondering about many things. Nonetheless it was a good quick read. Hmm.. So did anyone else notice the incredible similarities that strikes Estalan as Elvardo? Such as their pale-blue/silver eyes, the description of Estalan's beauty that could be defined as a Ydregi, them both being an "outcast", Estalan not having a gift for healing just like Elvardo and not to mention, at the end of Wizard, Estalan's intials; E.E. Anyone thinks it probably stands for Estalan Elvardo or Elvardo Estalan? less
