Review: Roverpowered 3: Tales of an Aspiring Alchemist

Roverpowered 3 by Drew Hayes

Is it hard to come up with a new way to rave about another book in a great series? Who cares? It’s Drew Hayes + a cute dog. Bring it on!

I’m going to be very serious now and tell you that Roverpowered 3 is a competent story written by a competent auth… No, I just can’t do it. Look, I’m going to shamelessly plug this series because it’s worth it, even if I look like a rabid fangirl in the process.

Read Roverpowered 3 by Drew Hayes. Heck, read everything the man has written. You can’t go wrong.

You still here? You want more? Good, because I want to rave about how good this is and I was afraid I’d be all alone in here. Which is kind of what Wanda was afraid of in this book. She sets out to join a temporary team of adventurers and she’s a bit too shy to put herself forward. Without quite meaning to, she joins a group of cast-offs and leftovers and it could have gone horribly wrong. Luckily for everyone involved Wumble is around, and very little goes wrong for long with that furry potato on the scene.

This one features an accidental dungeon dive and Wanda gets to shine, literally. It’s adventure plus humor with a lot of heart.

Wanda’s fellow wizards are the first who begin to appreciate how quietly helpful she is, although no one but Wumble recognizes the pair’s potential yet. Drew Hayes is so good at drawing out the suspense without cheating and I hope he keeps everyone in the dark for as long as humanly (or caninely) possible.

Again, this was over too fast, but it could be a thousand pages and it still wouldn’t be enough. It’s just that good.
