But then again, Waldo is still only supposed to be around fifteen or sixteen years old. I was a little disappointed with Waldo in that regard. He doesn’t really listen to her protests, and she doesn’t tell him exactly why she’s uncomfortable. He understands that Alice is uncomfortable with the queen, but sends her anyway. He was raised to be selfish and to think highly of himself. A character asks Waldo why he refers to the ogre as “she” when it is really a male, and he responds that it makes her happy. When the illusion is on, she is Belle in Waldo and Alice’s minds. He does look out for his familiars, especially Gronk. There are some parts of Waldo’s character that I like. So far he has two familiars: Alice, a succubus who is also his wife, and Gronk, a homosexual masochist ogre who prefers to wear the illusion of a human female they call Belle. During the first book, he dons the white robes and decides to masquerade as a White Mage, the exact opposite of what he is supposed to be. In order to prove himself, he must go on a quest to gain three monsters, defeat a knight in battle, and bring home a dragon or dragon’s egg. Waldo Corpselover, raised to be a Dark Mage, is on a quest. This is the third book in the series, the first being The (Sort of) Dark Mage.
