But Daimbert, newly hired Royal Wizard of Yurt, senses an evil spell at work. But who could be responsible? The beautiful young queen? Her flighty aunt? The dour chaplain? The old, retired Royal Wizard, who seems to know more than he's saying? Or someone from out of the castle's past? Daimbert quickly show more realizes that finding out and saving his kingdom may take all the magic he never learned properly in the first place, with his life the price of failure--good thing he knows how to improvise! show lessTags

I'm generally fond of this series. The characters are well constructed - neither too happy go lucky nor too angsty, though this was some of my first exposure as a kid to characters with psychological trauma. The plot and world are entertaining.
What strikes me about this series is the religion. At times you could be reading any book on Catholic or High Church teachings. after the moraland ethical vacuity of so much modern, fantasy where even the good guys seem to inhabit a slough of moral relatissm. It is a bit of a shock. , The plot is okay but the writting is a bit wooden
