reviewed Wizard for hire by Obert Skye

Fun and a little more substantive than the usual YA fantasy

3 stars

By Obert Skye and the audio read by our fan-favorite Kirby Heyborne. A quick critique on the audio: at several points in the book the reader gets excited and shouts, and the audio mastering is such that it is loud and jarring -- we quickly had to turn it off in the presence of sleeping children, and I finished it with headphones later.

A fun little jaunt, and resonating with a wider experience base than most YA fantasy novels (eg divorce, abandonment, estranged family), as well as typical inclusions like "doesn't fit in." A fun quick read that was recommended by my 11-year old daughter.
