Publisher's summary

Mage Errant: Publisher's Pack contains books one and two of the Mage Errant series.

Into the Labyrinth, book one

Hugh of Emblin is, so far as he's concerned, the worst student that the Academy at Skyhold has ever seen. He can barely cast any spells at all, and those he does cast tend to fail explosively. If that wasn't bad enough, he's also managed to attract the ire of the most promising student of his year - who also happens to be the nephew of a king. Hugh has no friends, no talent, and definitely doesn't expect a mage to choose him as an apprentice at all during the upcoming Choosing.

When a very unusual mage does choose him as apprentice, however, his life starts to take a sharp turn for the better. Now all he has to worry about is the final test for the first years - being sent into the terrifying labyrinth below Skyhold.

Jewel of the Endless Erg, book two

After surviving Skyhold's deadly labyrinth, Hugh and his friends are looking forwards to an uneventful summer. Their teacher, Alustin, has chartered a sandship for a training expedition into the vast sea of sand known as the Endless Erg, aiming for the wealthy and powerful desert city of Theras Tel. Hugh's happier than he's been in a long, long time, and he's quite excited for the fresh air, sunshine, and quiet.

Of course, given Hugh's luck, their summer is going to be anything but quiet. They're about to be plunged into a morass of pirates, monsters, warring cults, flesh-tearing sandstorms, and a conspiracy against Indris Stormbreaker, the dragon queen of Theras Tel herself.

At least Hugh's going to get plenty of fresh air and sunshine.

I can't wait for book three!

I bought this based on a positive review on Reddit and boy am I glad I did! Book One is an excellent take on the magic school genre. Book Two builds on the story in meaningful ways and continues to grow and develop the characters. Book Three will be an instant buy for me when it comes out as an audio book, and I'll likely pick up any other new books by this author as well.

A readers voice acting can make or break a book

I dislike this readers voice. It’s not horrible horrible pick a new book but it doesn’t work.

Sorry. A well chosen voice actor is key.

A solid foundation

The world is original and full of potential; the characters are unique and are well defined; and the stories are fun and well written. I'm looking forward to more tales from this world.

Great Books! Great Narration!

My granddaughter's review: The narrator was very good with the accents. Liked the diverse characters, especially Talia. Can't wait to continue reading this series.

Great story, too many “he said”

When listening to or reading book, there are so many ways to assign dialogue . Unfortunately this author (despite the great story and plot) doesn’t seem to know of any. If listening to “<any name here> said” constantly repeating through a conversation was a drinking game you’d die of alcohol poisoning. It made an otherwise great book, a borderline listen. It was just too distracting.

Light entertainment

A good, creative story but could be better written. Repetitive wording was distracting as was the reader's interpretation. But it was light, enjoyable entertainment and I don't regret listening to it. Happy I got it on a sale, though.

Fantastic story

For once a fantasy story that keeps me trapped the whole story through, and not just one character that is the hero. But a party with different characters.
A good plot and defently a series that I Will follow to the end

Butts.

to the author: pleeeeease look up synonyms for SAID. or at least come up with more creative ways to indicate who's is speaking.

that being said, hah. This is a pretty great deal, with characters that I deeply enjoy.

I was actually afraid during the first book, afraid that the main character would make a boring decision due to foreshadowed elements, but I'm happy to say that the main character did not make a cliched mistake!
