one of my favorite fantasy series for sure.

nice read.
I judge how much I like a book by how fast I go through it.. so if there is good there, captivating there for the faster the read.the better the book. I went through this series supper fast.

Fantastic Fantasy

Easy to listen to without throwing 1,000 characters at you. Epic sweeping fantasy that the entire family can enjoy!

Fun & Fast High-Fantasy Coming of Age

The Apprentice to Master series is a good, fun listen for fans of high fantasy and coming of age stories. The characters are interesting, the world more complex than it initially appears, and the conflicts are revealed to have unexpected depths and interesting origins. This contains the complete series and wraps up in such a way that there is room for more stories in the world but you feel satisfied with the status of the characters and the world explored thus far. Makes for an excellent deal for a single credit! The only part I thought some listeners may take issue with is that the main protagonist pair does come with the "they are amazingly strong for any age, much less for youths, and are naturals at almost everything they do with magic!" trope. This is mitigated somewhat by the fact that they still have to get creative in their application of what they have learned and that magic is not always the best solution. Overall a very enjoyable listen and highly recommended!

Disclaimer: I was given this a free review copy audiobook and have voluntarily left this review.

Great from start to finish

I downloaded this series on a recommendation and could not stop listening. It was great.
Pros: great story with magic and dragons
Cons: it felt a little rushed in spots where I would have liked it drawn out more.

Overall I would highly recommend it!

Not worth the effort...

Let's cover 3 topics.

1. Grammar: Very Poor. The author does not understand some of the words he uses. The storyline is pedestrian. The writing in general is spartan and crude. When I say spartan, I mean colorless. For example "the streets were filled with potion shops. The tables of the potion shops were littered with used potions, and the shelves where full of full potions." OR "There was a swine yard. Isit counted probably about 100 swine. The swine kept making funny noises and the swine where very smelly. Isit decided to go through the swine yard to avoid the priest, but needed to be careful of the swine."
Dear lord. I can only listen to this for so long before I open up my app and groan because I have TWENTY more hours of this writing style to power through. It would be better with a good narrator but alas....


2. Narrator is near monotone: It's worse because it's a long-ass series with over 40 characters and the narrator only has two different voices. Stoner deep-man voice, and child/woman/monster/everything-else-slightly-higher-pitched voice.


3. This story is shallow, repetitive, and "tells" you its story more than it "shows" the story. I can summarize the first TWENTY hours with the next sentence.
"MC is walking along, gets overpowered and captured, barely escapes and gets slightly stronger."
Oh, this happens again by they way.
And again.
And again.
And again.
"Oh, it's only two hours in? Cool. 28 hours to go so hopefully the MC is just down on his luck!"
And again.
And again......
Get the picture?


Verdict? If you are an audible user, try it! You may like it and if you don't, you can return it. However, DO NOT put yourself into a situation where you must commit to this book. It's not worth it.

Good use of a credit.

This is a nice, long story. The narrator does a good job. The story is worth finishing. I enjoyed it.

Fun series to listen to.

This box set makes a great way to listen to a book while doing so many other things. Fun and entertaining, with a good story. I received this audio book free and voluntarily reviewed

exceptional wizard

love the whole story of danger and romance . it was funny how men can be ignorant of women affections. so glad that it turn out to be a good read and great audiobook . I can't wait for the fourth book.

too bland

Got through book one but couldn't keep going, theres no magic system per say, just that they can take engery and use ot for multiple purposes. The story I thought would go deeper but first few chapters theres already conflict. Good for people who are into just the adventure.

dont trust the bad reviews

while there is some bad grammar here and there, the story is quite good. and its hard to beat 30 hrs of story for 1 credit. if you enjoy coming of age , magic stories then give this a go. After a couple hours of listening im very glad i bought this one. if you only listen to the first hour or so of the book that bad review is mostly right, but give it a chance, you wont regret it. not epic, but still good.
