Aether's Blessing

Aether's Revival, Book 1

De: Daniel Schinhofen

Narrado por: Andrea Parsneau

Every year, the empire administers the rite of passage into adulthood. That rite serves to identify those blessed by Aether to become magi. The new magi are shipped to the academy to learn the arts of magic.

The academy is a dangerous place; the tournaments held twice each year can cripple or kill the students, and the clans of the empire will go to great lengths to recruit the students they want.

Gregory had one dream: to become a magi like the legends of old. Though he was ridiculed by the residents of the village and his unsupportive father, he never wavered from his dream. Would his age day bring the fruition of his dreams, or would reality come crashing down on him?

(This audiobook contains some adult themes.)

knew nothing, love everything

I can't say a lot because there be spoilers, but I'll say this. I really appreciate the story breaking a particularly hated troupe of mine involving relationships. As well as letting the story flow like normal stories. No edgy plot, or surprise sadness and depression to make the character crawl back from the brink; i appreciate that at times.
Also loved the bloopers at the end Andrea rocks and sounds adorable.

I enjoyed it

It is a good first book, and the narration is good. My one complaint would be that when some of the characters giggled it sort of creeped me out

great series

great start to a hopefully long running series. I have all three books and waiting somewhat patiently for the third audiobook.

Fantastic Narration Improves Great Story

I already liked this story when I read in on KU. The narration made the details of the story, especially the interactions between Greg and Yukiko, come alive. I wasn't sure of how the voices for the different characters would work, but by the end of the story it all flows fantastically.

One of the best cultivation stories

Honestly I love this author and this book is definitely one of his best work so far. Full of action, adventure, romance and a epic story. I recommend it to all people even remotely interested in it.
