Mageborn

De: Stephen Aryan

Narrado por: Matt Addis

It's been 10 years since the Battlemage War, where thousands died as mages sundered the earth and split the sky.

Habreel believes eradicating magic is the only way to ensure a lasting peace. He will do anything to achieve his goal, even if it means murdering every child born with the ability. As deaths involving magic increase and the seat of magical learning - the Red Tower - falls under suspicion, two students and one lawbringer must do everything they can to combat Habreel and his followers before magic disappears from the world for good.

Feels like a middle book

Lots of setup but not a lot of resolution. I like the world that he’s created but found myself getting bored at the end of the book. Needed better pacing/editing.

This is the book that...

Should have followed Battlemage. Seriously. I thought that series lost its way at book 2 & concluded ok with 3.

But in this book, we get all our favorite characters, and some new interesting ones. It’s great. Look forward to reading the next.

Good book

It is a very good book
This narrator does different voices very well
The story is okay, there are some parts where they repeat things a few times and it jumps between characters but is it easy to follow

Slow start - did not catch my interest

No setup - bounces from one set of characters to another as each chapter starts. Author seems impressed with his story telling. Pretentious and dark. Voice actor was very good. Life is too short for me to stick with a book that hasn’t grabbed me by the fourth chapter. This series is a pass for me. Disappointing.
