Spellslinger (The Witches of Galdorheim Book 5) Kindle Edition

by Marva Dasef (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.9 out of 5 stars 10 ratings
What does a teenage half-warlock, half-vampire do to have fun? Why build an old west town on a glacier in the Arctic. There he can play at being the good guy sheriff up against mean old Black Bart.

That things will go horribly wrong is a given. But how does Rune get into and out of the predicament?

This prequel story to the Witches of Galdorheim series gives the reader a chance to get to know the smart-aleck kid, Rune, before he got his magic down pat.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Short prequel story about Rune, with excerpts of the Witches of Galdorheim series
    Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2018
    Format: Paperback
    This short story is a prequel to the Witches of Galdorheim series. Rune is the half vampire brother of Kat, this is his story of when he is first developing his magic. An imaginative little adventure. It also includes excerpts from the first three stories of the series.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great Introduction to The Witches of Galdorheim
    Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2013
    Format: Kindle
    I was given this short story as a gift. I'm fortunate to have read the three books in the Witches of Galdorheim series: Bad Spelling, Midnight Oil, and Scotch Broom. This story is an introduction to one of the main characters in the series, Rune. In Spellslinger, we get a taste of Ms. Dasef's flair for creating a tale filled with intriguing characters, a believable plot, and a cleverly crafted world. As a bonus, the first chapters of each of the books in the series are included. This is a great introduction to the series, and I recommend it to both the intended middle grade audience as well as adults who enjoy a good story.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Short story full of adventure!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2013
    Format: Kindle
    Marva Dasef is a talented writer who can spin a great story. In Spellslinger, we have Rune, an eleven year old warlock/half vampire, who is in a bad mood. All his friends have left him high and dry because of a certain club he can't join.

    He has decided to make his own fun. He would make his own world where he was the hero. This is where Rune's troubles begin. One thing after another goes wrong and Rune finds himself alone, out of magic, and possibly on the verge of death, with nobody to help him.

    I was given this story to review and I'm so glad I was. Very enjoyable and a great story for kids!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Spellslinger Review
    Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2013
    Format: Paperback
    Spellslinger is a short story introducing readers to one of the characters in the Witches of Galdorheim series. Half warlock, half-vampire, Rune’s magic is something to be reckoned with. Later. At eleven, he didn’t quite have it all worked out and while playing outside the protective dome on the hidden witches’ island of Galdorheim in the Arctic, he runs into real trouble.

    I enjoyed this story, and especially liked the skillful way in which the author gets into the thoughts and feelings of a small boy as he actually does conjure up an imaginary world. A good introduction to the series.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Loved the main character and his problems in this story, good read
    Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2013
    Format: Kindle
    This is a charming short story using a main character from the author's Witches of Galdorheim series. What I most enjoyed about this tale was that the main character is a boy who is "different" (half-vampire, half witch) and in search of his own unique identity. That's a lot for a short story to carry off, and Spellslinger does it very well indeed.

    I've read other books in this series and reading this short story made me want to return to The Witches of Galdorheim to revisit this world.
