Publisher's summary

Ard and his anchors are off to the capital, but not without his Congratulations—you’re-a-mage horse. Ard has to figure out what it means to be a noble as he struggles with the politics of the capital, fierce beasts and even fiercer rivals. All the while a goddess slips into his household as the staff and works to watch over him and his mother.

Ard has his work cut out for him, but is the capital ready for him? He’s determined to make a mockery of fashion and see what all he can get away with as a not so subtle ‘screw you’ to the new rules he’s been placed under.

Really good

So the error that occurs on chapter 12 wasn't a big deal to me because I think when it happens it's at the end of ch12 but instead of going into 13 it stay at 12 with stuff from a future chapter so I just skipped into 13 and moved on. now while I liked the story I think book 1 was better,
here we just see how incompetent and inexperienced Ard truly is and with was kinda painful to listen and then with cyam he does something that's supposed to be only for 4 spheres mages and hopefully he develops that power because apparently he just suck at everything else according to anyone who taught him magic this book

there are some problems with the editing

Loved the audiobook. thought the performance was fantastic. I feel like the editing needs a bit of work because there was some sections that were out of order.

Enjoyed this so much had to go read the next book

I really enjoyed the characters in this series. the storyline moves much quicker than expected.

the out of place events.

towards the end of chapter 12 it skips way into the story, talking about a character that isn't introduced until later in the story.

there is one more place where the story repeats itself, but I forgot which chapter, I want to say after chapter 15.

good stuff just, enjoyable banter and characters

Its pretty good the banter and characters are enjoyable, nothing to over the top and makes you chuckle every now and then … my only issue would be what happened at the end, it was funny but i’m confused on how it would works … logically … i guess the soul is cognitive but at the same time its not portrayed that way because it seems to be overwritten by the needs or pleasure or brain damage of the body … so that’s my problem with the end also i hate loose ends .. no pun intended (have to read the end to get it)… cheers

4 magics and 4 women.

Our powerful hick MC from the middle of nowhere is now getting more politically savvy.
He's rubbing shoulders with the elite and making a lot of them very angry.
But he also has women throwing themselves at him everywhere he goes.
He's getting stronger and more educated so he can survive.
I'm giving this book 8 out of 5 stars.

decent

I really hope Ard does some maturing tbh. He's starting to annoy me a bit. Either that or it's the narrator but I think it's really just Ard. ALSO bringing modern slang into story settings like this is a big taboo for me and really ruins things for me.

Chapter 12 Error

The recording jumps ahead quite a bit half way through chapter 12.
Still loving the audiobook and can't wait for #3 to be released on 7-9-2024.

Great story

Like everyone is saying there is a big jump in chapter 12 and it’s really confusing . Hopefully it is just a download.

good book

chapter 12 has another chapter midway thru. don't know quite how to report that one.
