Publisher's summary

Andrew has one chance to pull himself up from his humble beginnings and make something of himself. He has been found to have a spark of magic deep within himself. To bring it forth, he must first learn to summon the familiar. He must use every drop of his magic to search the Lands of Mist and find the one meant for him. The one he will be bonded to for life. The one who is actually capable and willing to make all his dreams possible. Andrew may be small now, but he has big dreams.

fantastic!!!

Great story and narration!

A summoner gets an unusual pairing and has his world turned upside down.

I loved this one!!!

The intro and history of the world were outstanding, and the story continued to build on that foundation.

I can't wait for the next one to come out!!!

Great listen

I really enjoyed this book as it had a wonderful story. I found it very easy and enjoyable to follow while I was busy at work which is great. Not all books allow me to do this.

Relaxing and enjoyable.

I really liked the book since it’s one of the few in this type of genre that does not try to rush the plot.

Amazing book

I’ve listened to books with similar over arching themes and magic systems but this one was by far the most interesting and in depth. I’m hoping a book 2 comes out eventually

considerably better than what I was expecting

it's about as interesting as Harry Potter and I would say it even has some similar takes on it but it's still vastly different just has some nice comparisons and some aspects the sense that you're actually in some kind of magic Academy is a lot better captured in this in comparison to Harry Potter my one better confusion and small complaint about the book is the amount of things that happen within one day to some extent I feel like the progress of the character is happening so rapid it's a little ridiculous and it does suspend the belief a little bit but it's still quite cohesive I look forward to the next book

muy bueno e interesante concepto

el concepto de los familiares es interesante pero el familiar del protagonista es lo que mueve la historia , el autor tiene alguna fallas que repite mucho lo que ya pasó pero aparte de eso 10/10

Slow

Very Slow, I can understand having an OP protagonist but he got way strong way faster then anybody and there wasn't much of detail in the magic system but I have hope. Ill buy the next one.

Great Book , Poor Ending

The book was excellent up to the ending. Their was no clean cut off or final battle. It was like o well all this crazy shit is happening and now I have to leave. I loved the book up to that.

So like I said the book was excellent until we hit the ending. The character development was good and we started to learn about the back story of the nobles and how familiars and magic work in this world.

My only complaint is the ending was super rushed and their are too many unresolved story arcs as we are moving onto one that takes MC away from the school.

It’s worth a credit and I look forward to the next installment. If the story arc falls are fixed in book 2 with a good transition I will continue with the series, if not the book will be put on the average shelf.
