surprisingly amazing

I took a chance on this based on the solid reviews and am very glad that I did.

Shockingly good

I grew up on Tolkien but never had any interest in D&D. Having said that I enjoy a good sword and sorcery romp as much as the next GoT fan boy. I got this book via the audible algo who offered it to me either free or on a killer deal…their thinking being “get him hooked and he’ll buy the series” and they were correct! At first I thought…oh no another nerdy YA D&D slog with endless lists of hit points and spells…and there’s some of that early on but once it gets going the tone improves and it becomes and enjoyable engaging romp. The magical rules make a kind of sense. And the story telling is brisk and engaging. Couple of things I really appreciate are virtually no romantic plot and our hero isn’t the annoying, anguished weakling…no he’s into his surprising new world and wields his powers in a fun way. The narrator is top notch and pulls of female characters much better than most. I’d certainly recommend it to any fan of Tolkien, George RR or Le Guin

Impressive, very well done.

Better than what i expected. Great story, great narration. Im just so impressed. Looking foward to the next one.

A very fun listen

Fantastic story and very interesting magic system. Both the first and second books are great can’t wait for the third!
