Trorm Coldstorm is a foreign exchange student come to study magic at the arcane academy. Thing is, he's an orc.

Trorm finds himself facing a slew of stereotypes and misconceptions about who, and what, he is. Everyone he meets expects him to be a dumb savage who's just there to play football. But Trorm is not dumb. He's a skilled wizard in his own right, and when he finds himself embroiled in a dark plot by sinister cultists, he'll show everyone just how intelligent and savage he truly is.

fun

Good story and solid narration

An intelligent Orc foreign exchange student goes to collage to improve his magic. What could go wrong?


If you enjoyed "Dan the Barbarian" you will probably like this one too.



Warning: story contains tentacle monsters, bunny girls and collage students

Great voice work

The voice work is awesome and the story is done pretty well, not overly complex but it gets the job done. I really like some of the characters and you really do feel the plight of the main character and really feel a lot of people can understand his situation.

Great story but the narration needs work

I really enjoyed the story. It’s pretty original and kept me entertained. However the narration needs some work. The narrator used the same inflections in every sentence. It felt very rigid it didn’t flow well at all.
The dialog also seemed to be really forced. The accents or different voices of the characters defiantly need some work. But I do give her an A for the effort.
All that being said. I did like the story.

Good start to a fun fantasy series

This is a (very) quick and quirky story about and Orc named Trormstarting off his life as a foreign exchange student in a human-majority world. His host "mom", doesn't want him at all, but her daughters convince her to give him a chance because it's his only chance at Wizard school. Of course he immediately almost blows, but his exchange sister Abigail wants him to stick around and makes it happen. Trorm suffers many of the cons of being from another world: speciesism, he sticks out due to his size, constantly prejudged as stupid - also, he's a bit socially awkward, not completely grasping the idea of sarcasm or emotions. Orcs aren't generally known for their wizardry (they are mostly fighters) so most people think he's there due to a clerical error. When he tried to make friends, he falls into league with the football star/son of a college department head and things start looking even worse for Trorm. Of course all of the story is crazy over the top, which made it seem even shorter because I think I listened almost straight through.

There's a little bit of a mystery feel throughout this short book, and I think that aspect pairs great with fantasy+little bit of romance/sex thing this book has going on. His magical sunglasses are amazing, and I loved that part of this book a bunch. The secondary characters are very entertaining, and there's even a positive LGBTQ-friendly sideline going on (MtF transitioning). I'm not sure that "harem" suits this book so far, unless you consider that his "group" of friends is female. I'll be picking up the next book for sure.

The narration was great and I don't remember anything off about it - which is great! Veronica Heart does a fine job, which is always appreciated since they are not all equally good. I look forward to hearing her continue this story!

This book was given to me by the author, narrator, or publisher in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

Actually pretty good!

I can't believe that I'm actually going to say this, but this was really a good book. I really did not think that I would be a big fan of a book with an Orc as a main character. While I love fantasy and syfy kind of stuff, Orcs have just never been my fav. But I really did enjoy this book. It was a little on the shorter side, I like my books with a little more meat to them. But even though it was short, it was really well done. I definitely plan on reading more from this author. The narration was also very well done. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series. <3

This Book was given to me at my request. I am providing a voluntary review. <3

College with Magic

A humorous take on the trials and drama of the good e college days.
You know, back when we knew everything.
The narrator was a little to fast for me, but her characters were well done, clear and enjoyable.

wanted to go higher but couldn't

the good okay so at first I was kind of blase about this I thought it was some sort of weird modern fantasy parallel universe thing and I wasn't too into it and then bam dating Sim game lit and the comedic value of that pretty much saved the rest of this book that said the narrator is no bueno she's pretty bad not the worst but honestly it was just starting to get on my nerves I hope they change narrators in the future

Great fun and exciting story!

I saw how highly rated the written story was on Amazon, and thought this sounded like a pretty fun story. I'm very glad I tried it out! Great characters, constant non-stop action, with fun humor throughout the story, and the sex scene wasn't the main theme, just part of the story.

So this first time author did a fantastic job making a truly entertaining story. And the narrator did a great job with character voices. I was thoroughly kept enthralled after each chapter, eager to hear the next.

Definitely going to continue with this series! Next please!

Fun Story, but the Narration Isn't Very Good

I enjoyed Liam Lawson's story and characters a lot, but Veronica Heart's narration left me cold. She does little to differentiate her voice between characters, and consistently mispronounced several words throughout all three titles in the series (a personal pet peeve of mine).
