Misfit Mage

Fledgling God, Book 1

De: Michael Taggart

Narrado por: Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey

He went searching for a fresh start. He didn’t expect to find unusual friends, fierce enemies, and primal powers.

Jason thought that it was the end of his life after being hunted and attacked by a band of ruthless thugs. Instead, he tapped into the source of creation and emerged from his death experience with magical powers.

As a new mage, Jason finds himself part of a wonderful - and dangerous - new supernatural world. He also finds himself in the middle of a mage war as he becomes part of an unlikely group of protectors who are defending a mystical mansion from those who want to destroy it.

Jason has little power, and the band of misfits are on the losing side, until he discovers he can see and manipulate magic at a remarkable level. What he detects begins his journey into discovering how his new powers really work, and just might be the edge that they need to survive.

If you like witty dialogue, diverse characters, magic that feels real, and intense action, then you will love this LGBTQ urban fantasy. Buy Misfit Mage today and step into a new enchanted world.

This book is great!!!

Loved this book can’t wait to read the next book and the next!!! This book flowed from beginning to end!

Outstanding narration!

I loved reading this story when it first came out but this narrator is great!

a lot of drama and talk

The characters sounded like they were from sesame street and there was a little of dragging dialog from the main character and unnecessary drama.

Okayish

As you can tell by the title it was okay imho. I appreciated the unconventional world created and the way magic is described and utilized. I personally am not the biggest fan of 1st person narratives. It left a sour taste in my mouth to have a “To be continued” ending where there were so many things left unresolved. I don’t know if I would recommend it to many unless I knew this type of book was in their interest range.

I liked the story...almost...

I liked this book...for the most part. The premise of the story sounded good and I thought I would just love this book. The cast of characters I enjoyed and I even developed an affinity for. The problem is the protagonist, Jason, was just too much. Not just too much some of the time...the majority of the time. I found myself just wanting to "smack" the young man upside the head. I get that he is young. I even get that he is going through a lot, having to endure some serious crap to become a Mage...but more than half the time listening to Jason whine had me considering ending the actual pain of having to listen to him. Several times I stated what the Thing 1 remnant stated in the throne room...just saying. But as I stated earlier, the other cast of characters (not to mention the creations) saved me from departing this story. There is a lot of information provided to get an idea of this enchanted world the author is presenting and I rather enjoyed that. It was just the tone of Jason. I'm hoping that Jason finds some inner and physical strength in the next book. The narration was good and the writing style was good. You have to have "it" if you can speak into existence Turbo granny.
