A review by dazmoriarty
With a Single Spell by Lawrence Watt-Evans
4.0
'With a Single Spell' was maybe the third ever Lawrence Watt-Evans novel I have read. As a teenager, I read his excellent Misenchanted Sword (when everything was fresh and exciting to me) and maybe 20 years later The Cyborg And The Sorcerer, also pretty decent.
So to this one. As with my previous experience of his writing, it is uncomplicated and easily read. This doesn't mean bad, just that you can read it quickly enough. Some aspects of it I found pedestrian, some of it was extremely clever - the tapestry portals for example.
So it was fun, but not as good as I had hoped. Going back to read Misenchanted Sword now.
