WITCH & WIZARD: THE FIRE

Elijah Wood and Spencer Locke continue narrating the story of Whit and Wisty Allgood, who are a wizard and a witch, in the third installment of this series. Musical interludes at the beginning and end of select chapters help set the stage in this dark story as Whit and Wisty struggle to master their powers and with their quest to defeat The One Who Is The One. As Whit, Elijah Wood is a natural storyteller, and his smooth voice is well suited to this magical tale. Spencer Locke’s voice is more expressive and bright, rising and falling in agitation and fear as Wisty’s power grows. While both narrators have a habit of delivering the exclamations in overly loud voices, they do well at alternating sections without losing any of the intensity of the tale.
