Resumen del Editor

Not a legend. Not a protector. Not even a sorcerer. Tarak was just fine with that until, in a single day, his whole world was taken from him.

Tarak is thrown into a strange city with just a few coppers in his pocket and the tainted shadow of his family following him. At least the ale is better, but famine and poverty make it a little hard to enjoy that. With no one to call his friend and almost no knowledge of sorcery, Tarak will have to compete with the best sorcerers if he wishes to remain free.

Tarak has done a pretty good job of avoiding what his single-minded father called his "destiny" for seventeen years, but now his identity is revealed, and it's drawing more attention than a tear through the rump of his pants.

It's looking like an uphill road, but there are some major bonuses. It turns out sorcery is not as complicated as his father made it seem, and not every sorcerer has to be as virtuous as the old dog.

Another one

BT got it going in here! Interesting characters with fun interactions with tasteful humor, set in a familiar world. Can’t wait for the next installment to be released!

I didn't know this was a John Oakley story or related to it

this is really good. I mean I got it alone. I didn't even look at it. I just seen Nick poldelle and I thought I'll try it and this is really good and Nick podell is great as always

Loved the diverse characters

Loved the humor and characters and how well they play off of each other I can’t wait for the next book

It was very good

If you enjoyed his other books you will enjoy this one. I liked it. The one negative thing I will say is that I wished they would have used the same narrator that did the Jon Oklar series. The narrator did a fine job however I couldn't get use to the characters voices sounding different.

fun story can't wait for the next Book

the reviews of people who can not do anything like this. if you don't like it you should just leave it at a simple statement. like not for me. it was a story about a misguided young man. it is a fun story with a MC who needs to grow up. take it for what it is.

Great start

Actually one of the best books I've come across in awhile. Hopefully it continues to be

Unique magic system

The overall story is pretty good. I enjoyed seeing a story with actual character development. It's not something we get to much now a days.

I enjoyed how the author used music as his magic system. While it was not exactly the same it helped me international understand with the different notes and octives.

overall the story was enjoyable and I would definitely read more from this author.

It is oddly refreshing.

Honestly, I bought this book because it was 18 hours but now I'm glad I got it.
It starts rough with the MC being too whiny once over it, the MC mellows out to a mischievous f*ck doing mischievous things for entertainment. That loki-esque attitude is what I like about this book you see.
And there is kingdom politics.
Everything else makes sense the king and his retinue are new and there are god-like beings so there is almost no pomp and ceremony.
Some books treat risque scenes either as taboo and just gloss over it or almost in your face pounding but this book has a good balance I think enough to entertain but not to disgust.

The only thing I would say to disparage is that the book doesn't give me a sense of scale the environment is a bit off anytime there is travel it feels like they fast traveled there or the climatic battle is just a few paces away from the wall. if I wanted to draw a map from imagination I would draw a circle call it the city and a line for the forest.
All in all I can't wait for the second book.

Very well done

I do not write very many reviews although I review a lot of books and in my library I have over 900. This is probably in the top 20 so very well done I appreciate it it. It was fun and of course nik is wonderful.

BT has a bad habit in every book

no matter how much potential the mc has in all of his books they are complete push overs, simp for at least one girl or sometimes multiple, stupid, lazy, and zero common sense.
also why does there always have to be an annoying female that always mistreats or bullies the male mc? it happens enough that it's starting to feel like a trend. the writing is good but I'm tired of waiting till the end of a book or sometimes series for the mc to be someone I want to root for.
