I'm reading some shitty fantasy book by M.R. Mathias called the Sword and the Dragon. It's pretty generic fantasy trope, but damnit I'm still enjoying it. I like the bad guy wizard a lot. He's a pretty swell dude, and there's this guy who has a bird as a familiar / animal companion and might have magic. Also, there was a previous wizard like this kid that people called Dahg Mahn. which translates to Dog Man. Because his familiar / animal companion was a wolf. This humors me.
To explain why I'm reading, because his books are cheap on Kindle.
