Magic and Bullets

Academy of Outcasts, Book 2

De: Larry Correia

Narrado por: Garrett Michael Brown

Ozwald Carnavon used to be a lowly rank-one nobody mining "Red" on a plane of fire.

Now, he’s the acting head of the officially sanctioned (but totally broke) Academy of Outcasts. Situated in "The Tube"—a mile-tall wizard tower that fell over fifty years ago and is now an obnoxiously haunted ruin—the school is the talk of the Under Slump, mostly because they’ll accept anyone with a pulse and a single spell to share.

But running an academy for magical misfits isn’t all spell-crafting and experiments. When the legendary founder, Gaul “the Mutilator” Haddar, vanishes to hunt pirates, he leaves Oz in charge of a gaggle of aspiring mages who are more likely to blow themselves up than pass a test.

And then the landlord comes knocking.

The thrilling sequel in this epic new saga from LARRY CORREIA, award-winning author of Monster Hunter International and Saga of the Forgotten Warrior.

This progression fantasy epic features a D&D-inspired setting split by portals into elemental realms, slow-growth power progression, magic academies, and unforgettable characters!

I Love that it is a little bit lower key.

It’s nice to have a Corriea series that isn’t as intense as some of the others. It’s cool to still hang out with little lighter story.
Thanks Larry!

A fun New Addition to the Series

Does a good job expanding on the story from the first book. I’m enjoying the world building, the power system continues to be cool, and the writing style is just as fun and enjoyable as the first book. Excited for book 3!

Lots of fun!

Too bad the next one isn’t out already! Patience is tough. Definitely ready for the third book!

Paying Rent Will Kill Us All

Living in the Bay Area, I already knew this fact, but this story really drives it home.

But more seriously, this novel want add awesome as the last when it came to world building, which was a letdown since that was one of my favorite aspects of the first in the series. To make up for it was even more action and twists than the first novel, so I can't complain - it was a fun read I couldn't put down.

solid

not correias best work. but a fun quick enjoyable read. son of the black sword and grimnoir are better.
