Nature Mage

The Nature Mage Series, Book 1

De: Duncan Pile

Narrado por: Harry Benjamin

An epic teenage fantasy with a gripping plot and believable, down to earth characters. Perfect for fans of teen fiction and fantasy fiction alike. In this, the first exciting installment of the Nature Mage series:

Gaspi is an ordinary boy, living in the mountain village of Aemon's Reach, but life, for Gaspi, is forever changed the day magic erupts in him. He discovers he has a powerful gift - he is a Nature Mage, able to control natural forces and creatures and bend them to his will. It is a rare gift, and no-one has been born with it in centuries, but Gaspi's powers also have a dark side, and without training they will kill him. He is forced to leave his home and travel to the distant city of Helioport, where the Archmages of the College of Collective Magicks will teach him how to use his powers.

Accompanied by his guardian and his best friends, Gaspi sets off on the long journey to Helioport. The journey is fraught with danger, and Gaspi and his friends discover that there are demonic creatures abroad, intent on finding and killing anyone with magical ability. As Gaspi begins his magical studies, a shadow hangs over him and over the city of magicians. Gaspi's story of a demonic attack is not an isolated incident. As these stories multiply, Hephistole, the Chancellor of the college, is growing increasingly certain that someone or something is directing the demonic forces, but who, and to what end? As things unfold, Gaspi finds himself in the middle of dark and terrible times, and can only hope that his powerful gift will develop in time to make a difference when the time comes.

Great Book

This has been a great storyline from the beginning and I highly recommend reading. cannot wait for the next book on Audible.

MY FAVORITES

I love this fantasy adventure series and I'm so glad that the author had it published in audio book form. I've read all 4 books and listened to the first 2 in audiobooks. The excellent narration performance by Harry Benjamin brings it all to life. Anxiously awaiting the next 2 in audio format. 5 Star recommendation.

Pretty good

You won't waste a credit on this book, it's pretty good. I hope the next one is better.

Pretty basic story and character development.

Not memorable. Will kill some spare time without annoying you too much. Decent first book.

Its ok

Is there anything you would change about this book?

During some of the key transitions in the book, the logical turn of the characters is broken. I have the feeling that the main events of the book were planned, but the connecting events were done with little thought.

Would you recommend Nature Mage to your friends? Why or why not?

If they had to spend a credit, and they wanted something they could listen to with their kids, I would probably recommend. It is lacking a certain amount of depth, so beyond a book to listen to on the way to/from somewhere...not sure I can recommend otherwise.

Time to learn

I had a very hard time finishing this book. I did finish, but it was so slow I wanted to give up.
