Lusam

The Dragon Mage Wars, Book 1, 2

De: Dean Cadman

Narrado por: Alex Wyndham

Lusam grew up in the relative safety of the Elveen mountains with his grandmother. She taught him the basics of magic and discovered, quite by accident, that he possessed a unique skill never seen before: the ability to hide his magical aura from the mage-sight of others.

Dark secrets surround Lusam's origins, and the dark agents of the Empire will stop at nothing to kill Lusam. But before Lusam can be taught all he needed to know about his past, his grandmother unexpectedly dies of a fever, and Lusam finds himself homeless on the unforgiving streets of Helveel. Unbeknown to Lusam, the only thing keeping him alive is a promise he made to his grandmother to always hide his aura, no matter what. Lusam meets and befriends a young thief fleeing her old city of Stelgad before making a magical discovery that will change both their lives forever, and possibly the fate of the entire world.

I almost passed this up!

While looking for books with the same feel of The Inheritance Cycle I passed this book up several times, boy was that a mistake! This book is very well written and not overly complicated like you get with some other fantasy books. This book is a must read if you like The Inheritance Cycle. I don't like comparing books normally but on a scale (of how enveloped in the book I became) this ranks top five for me!

Love it!

Hate that book three and four aren't available yet. can't wait for it to be on Audible!

Excellent series

Excellent series, very enjoyable story line, simple and direct with little to no filler. able to keep an interest from start to finish.

Fun Book

Any additional comments?

This was a fun book. Loved the characters and the story. Alex Wyndham made the story come to life.

Great story overall good book, terrible MC

1st and foremost before deciding to read the story you should know it is a great story. But you should know the MC is a kind-hearted 16 year old boy. That may be a turn off to some, including me. But by the time I got to the point were it is really irksome I couldn't find it in myself to drop the series.

He is a super hero type kid. feels for everybody. In the middle of war people are trying to kill you but refuses to kill while they are shooting magic at him kind of annoying.

I give the plot, story, and world building 5 stars. Minus one because of the sheer stupidity of him sometimes. I am expecting him to mature as the series continues.

Narrator took some getting used to. Good story

The story started out pretty strong then it can slowed in the middle and then picked up a little steam at the end. Looking forward to listening to the next installment.

A great light read.

It isn't the high fantasy I normally listen to, like the works of Brandon Sanderson or Tolkien, but it is a fun adventure with an overpowered destined to save the world kind of protagonist, a touch of romance and playful banter with a killer thief, the guidance of a stereotypical older mentor paladin figure, and an archetypal evil overlord nemesis. If you're looking for an easy to get into fantasy or a break from super heavy reads, I'd definitely recommend the series to you!

too good !!!

i love it great ending no flaws in my eyes just a great book altogether

Good story line

I enjoyed this series. But I'm unsure if it is because it was narrated by Alex Wyndham. He has a good voice for this.

Good book,but can't be two books

What did you love best about Lusam?

I have enjoyed this story but this is two books? This can't be? It is to short and I could not tell where the first book ended. But I like the story and the narrator. I wish I had remembered to look. I usually will check if there are more books to follow the series. Ok so now I have to wait and I hope it does not take long.oh boy! I think he(Lusam) is a nice young man. But very sheltered but learns fast and love deeply and a true nice guy. You want to see him win. The girl his own life and help all that he does.

What did you like best about this story?

The storyline keeps you interested and the characters are likable. The magic and the creatures are interesting.

What does Alex Wyndham bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I don't do well reading any more small print kills my eyes and I like doing more than one thing at a time.but the narrator does a very good job with the voices. I know the men from the women and young from old. Simple. I could not do any accents ! So that is always a bonus in my view. Sure my imagination can go into more detail with how the world looks and feels but accents I don't create that in my minds eye view.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me want to go on reading the next books. Yes there were times I laughed and was worried about thus situation or that happening. And I had fun on the journey.

Any additional comments?

Can we please have the next books. And I did not see what else this author had written. I would have liked to try other works by him.can I have 20 or more hours please. And thanks so much. Smile
