Good but...

Like the first book in the series, I really enjoyed it but can't figure out why. It was very well written without much action or scope, yet I plan to keep enjoying the series!

fantastic series

I am a huge fan of Mr. Narro. I have read all of his books except for the stalwart series which I am currently reading. I have nothing but positive things to say about this series the plot and character development is amazing. With each book I finish I can not wait to start the next. I highly recommend any of Narro's series you will not be disappointed!!!

Slow and Plodding Plot

I won't be listening to anymore of these. Mainly it is how slow the plot moves. The books are short at only 10 hours so when you combine that with a slow moving plot nothing seems to happen. Slow plots are fine with a book that goes 25-30 hours but not here. It is almost like you have only read a chapter then you have to buy the next chapter.

Other problems is that the magic is lame and seems almost useless. In fact the boys learn the basic in a night, then go to magic school for three years and really don't know anything additional. And that is not an exaggeration.

All in all, this is a series to skip.

Second in the series and another success!

Listened every chance I got. I'll get the next on release day! Narration was a little better to handle this go around. It took me about 2/3 of the first book to get used to Simon Vance. It's a personal struggle for me with every new book to get a feel of how the narrator envisions the author through tone, impersonation, and other elements. Much better for me this go around

Again... skips MAJOR plot lines

This writer is VERY good at writing dialogs but skips over the story as if he's already tired of writing it...
Literally in about 4 sentences, the two main characters enter a world that should be a major plot line, to having finished 4 years training, and are off to a battle... An entire book could have been written about the change in their lives during training, but it was skipped over... Then... They go into a battle where there is more time spent over a confrontation with a superior than on the actual point of the battle, and what was happening...
Probably going to return book 1 and 2.

Long winded and boring.

Not much exciting every happens, lazy writing plagues this book. I was hoping for a medieval action packed novel and recieved a delicate love story that bored me to death for 20 hours. Performance was great but, I couldn't get over the slow pace and flat climax of each book.

A good read, but it’s very short

The plot of this second book in the series was more polished than the first book. I enjoyed this a great deal, but am a bit annoyed that the book is so short. I completed the book in one day & im hungry for more. I normally don’t purchase audible books that are only a few hours in length like this & the other books in the series. However, it was a good read & I recommend it the story.

Open mind adventures

I love to imagine the worlds in my head as i listen and this book does a great job at it & i love the story line. The only this that i dont like about the audio book is that the girls dont sound as feminine i guess? Besides that 10/10

Too much recap

This truly is a wonderful series, but the author needs to give some credit to its readers. For such a short story, way too much is inhabited by story retelling.

Be patient. its worth it.

The story is quite slow, but I appreciate the effort taken in explaining the story over time. a very enjoyable story.

Wow

Really enjoying these books, I’m not easily pleased but...

I’m a huge fan if Simon Vance also; especially your

B.T. Narro brilliance.

this is another bt narro triumph. his story telling and characters are fantastic! Simon Vance is brilliant as ever.

Good story but short

As with the other books in this series its good storytelling but feels like books 1 and 2 could have been in one volume

great stories

Can’t wait for the third instalment to be in the audiobook format however I am planning to order the physical copy also 🤩🤩🤩
