Pyromancer by Don Callander

Most fantasy book lovers usually give Don Callander's "Pyromancer" very positive reviews. It might not be a masterpiece of epic proportions like the Lord of the Rings, but it is a very entertaining and fun read, just like light fantasy books should be.

Pyromancer tells the story of a wizard apprentice named Douglas who is studying under his master, Flarman Firemaster. Like the name of the book implies young Douglas is a pyromancer, or a mage who controls fire. He and his master sets out for a magical journey and accomplish many feats on their adventures.

I knew I had to get this book as soon as I learned the premise. Like I mentioned before, I love magic so I'm automatically interested in any fantasy book where the main character is a mage. Him being a young apprentice also sounds great, because we get to follow him on the path to greatness. If you have read and enjoyed magical fantasy books like Harry Potter series, the Earthsea series or M.Y.T.H. Inc. then you should like the Pyromancer as well.

I have only talked about the Pyromancer so far, but of course the story of the young fire mage doesn't end there. Don Callander has written more books in the series, so don't miss them.
