Resumen del Editor

Zorian Kazinski has all the time in the world to get stronger, and he plans on taking full advantage of it.

A teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, Zorian is attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. A driven and quiet young man, he is consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, resenting the Kazinskis for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, Zorian has no time for pointless distractions, much less other people's problems.

As it happens, though, time is something he is about to get plenty of.

On the eve of Cyoria's annual summer festival, Zorian is murdered, then abruptly brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take the train to school. Finding himself trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, he will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery set before him. He does have to unravel it, too, because the loop clearly wasn’t made for his sake, and in a world of magic even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill.

Fortunately for Zorian, repetition is the mother of learning….

Easy listen

Easy to follow along with while driving on just lounging about would recommend! Story telling was nice to listen while relaxing or do activity's

Almost gave up before it got good

I had almost given up right away after hearing the voices before I actually gave the story a chance but after a few grueling chapters the story got me hooked and before I knew it I was blazing through the chapters. Besides the voices which were upsetting that this is Jack’s second reiteration of these characters and story with “improvement of experience,” it left something to desire. Another grip was the length of the chapters, some spanning 40mins-1hr long, would’ve been nice if they were a tad shorter.
Getting all that out of the way, I enjoyed the story thoroughly and before I knew it the book was over. Now I can’t wait for the next arc.

The sister's voice is horrendous

I enjoyed the book, but the sister voice was like chewing on tin foil.

Hard to put down!

Love it, maintains my Interest the entire time through. Can't wait for the next one!

one of the best thought out universes in fantasy

The complexity in the magic system and fleshed out world and political systems make this one of the best fantasy stories in a long time.

Airtight Magic and Time System

In fantasy, you often find unavoidable loopholes in the world building as authors usually dont have a strong technical or socioeconomic background to weave into their story. This author does however, and in spades!

Every facet of the system is fleshed out and effects the limitations that shape the main character's decisions throughout the story. No macguffins, no unobtainium, no hot fixes. You better believe if the author mentions something offhand in chapter 1 and 2, it will effect the mc's situation in chapter 25. I honestly dont know how someone can have such a fleshed out clockwork of a magic and societal system AND have the ability and tenacity to write coherent and logical story. The hats someone would have to wear to achieve this is honestly staggering!

Kudos to the author, and thank you for your work! This has been one of the most enjoyable fantasy novels I have partook in in a long time.

Solid Progressive Fantasy

I breezed right through the book and look forward to the next. It is an interesting story with a unique set up. I wouldn't call it childish by any means, but it's not an "adult" story which I liked. I find books with lots of cursing or sexual interests mostly unnecessary and appreciate when things are focused on the plot and characters. Definitely worth a listen. Jack Voraces does a good job with the narration. I have heard he isn't everyone's favorite but I appreciate that he does things differently or everything would just sound the same.

I will pick up then next installment without hesitation.

Loved it!

So good! I was afraid a time loop book might get old, but this didn't at all, it was full of action and fast-moving characters and subplots and even though it ended with the main character kinda failing and a large cliffhanger of what will happen next this book was perfect. I can only hope the next one will come soon I can't wait!!

One of my favorite book series

Just a beautiful work of world and character building, highly satisfying from beginning to end.

Amazing storyline with nice complexity

Many people have expressed their disappointment with the narrator’s female voices; however, don’t let that turn you away from this book. The narrator is quite talented overall and I think with a little more feedback from their team, the narrator will be able to fix that in the future. This book is simply too good to pass up because of a couple of poorly done voices.
