The Accidental Sorcerer, by K. E. Mills
Rogue Agent Series
Adult, 2009
from fantasticfiction.co.uk:
Gerald Dunwoody is a wizard. Just not a particularly good one. He's blown up a factory, lost his job, and there's a chance that he's not really a Third Grade wizard after all. So it's off to New Ottosland to be the new Court Wizard for King Lional. It's a shame that King Lional isn't the vain, self-centered young man he appeared to be. With a Princess in danger, a talking bird who can't stay out of trouble, and a kingdom to save, Gerald soon suspects that he might be out of his depth. And if he can't keep this job, how will he ever become the wizard he was destined to be...
Trackgeek:
This was a really interesting plot idea. I enjoyed the characters and the twists on magic and the commentary on bureaucracy. The plot moves along nicely and sets up what promises to be a good series.
Graded a B+.
