The Wizard's Butler by Nathan Lowell
1.0
Good premise squandered in a terribly boring book. I don't want to be mean but seriously what's up with the high ratings for this, srsly
I don't mind it having the thinnest of plots, or the daily minutia of the butler growing into his job. I mind when every single thing/thought is repeated ad nauseum. Seriously, this could have been a third of the length. How many times do you need to tell me this man is going to make a million by the end of his contract. Do I really need to hear modem installation explanations coming from 3 different characters and then again from the MC?
Please my man, I know my brain is a sieve but I *can* remember information you told me two pages ago, have some faith.
The fact that the villain is a money hungry 'cougar' that the MC cannot stop ogling down her blouse the first few meetings, was there a need for that?
But the biggest sin is that this could have been called 'the millonaire's butler' and it would have been the exact same book. The most magical thing that happens is a chair that turns into a wheelchair. There's also a lighter-sized flame at some point.
Talk about disappointing.
The fact that I listened to the audiobook was its only saving grace, the reader is very good. Looking forward to listen to some of his other books. But not this author's
