Book cover: “Melleron’s Magic” by Douglas Hill; ill. Steve Hutton (Oxford University Press, 2000)

While Melleron’s monster friends are quite memorable, Melleron himself has precious little personality or agency. The fantasy setting lacks depth and development. The villainous magician and his hench-monsters evince evil without motivation. A lacklustre offering from a writer capable of much more.
