Book Review: Wizard for Hire by Obert Skye

Book Description:

The final answer to the existence of magic.Ozzy and his friend Sigi are in more danger than ever before. After being injected with the mindcontrolling serum, Ozzy is learning to control the minds of people, but he is still being hunted by Ray, the power-mad villain who will stop at nothing to find and possess the formula. And on top of that, Rin still claims he’s a wizard, but he and Clark are missing, leaving Ozzy to wonder once again if magic really does exist.

When it becomes apparent that the minds and free will of all mankind are in danger of being controlled by whoever controls the serum, Ozzy and Sigi join forces with strange new friends that claim magic-like abilities. When Rin finally returns, Ozzy will discover once and for all what happened to his parents, what really happens at those popular fantasy conventions, and if magic truly exists.

Caden's Review:

     If a book series had to go out this is probably the best way for it to go. Book three of The Wizard for Hire series is certainly worth your time. Obert Skye once again made this book come alive and mixed humor with adventure. While taking a more solemn note, this book still gives you plenty of opportunities to laugh your heart out.

        The only thing that bugs me about this book is that Ozzy doesn't seem as unknowing about the outside world and I think that the book would have been a little more interesting if Skye had included more of Ozzy's learning process. I am so glad that we can finally learn more about Rin's life and back story. That had been driving me crazy! But overall a great book and a great way to spend your time. 

Braden's Review:

I think that the book was well written and created.  I really like the twists and turns the book includes.  I would recommend this to any readers. I love Clark and his humor in everything.  Rin showed his power in words and Ozzy learns the truth. I would love if the author could create another book.  This book is fantastic and hilarious.

Joey's Review:

This was a great finish to a great trilogy. The conclusive ending really wrapped things up and answered a lot of questions. It has all the elements you want and not the ones you don't want. The plot of the book was great with many twists and turns that were very surprising. One of my favorite parts was near the end when a character did something very exciting and unexpected.

Collin's Review:

Obert Skye's writing always amuses me.  I love the way he writes.  His descriptions of things keep me entertained and coming back for more.  For example, he opens this book like this:

"Darkness pushed down like  fat wad of clay under the pressure of a heavy thumb--shoving itself into any cracks, crevasses, or corners it could find."  

Just like the first two books in the series, you are left guessing (until the end) if Rin really is a wizard or if everything that happens around him is just luck. Ozzy even begins to doubt him in this book.  I can't say what happens, as that would give the plot away, but there is no doubt at the end if he really is wizard or not.  I highly recommend this book to any Obert Skye readers.
