Mystic Knight: Rising

The Mystic Knight, Book 2

De: Ryan Jackson

Narrado por: Robin Shay, Allen Ryder

Just when Aldric thinks things might die down a little for him, he's thrown back into the fire.

After crushing the dwarf, Torg Frosthammer, and bonding with Jordan, Aldric just wants to relax and enjoy the summer break before classes start again. But that is not his lot in life. An urgent summons comes from the Headmaster, and once there, Aldric learns that the Imperial Grand Magus is on his way to determine whether Aldric was justified in his actions with Torg.

Under normal circumstances, that was bad. For Aldric, it might be catastrophic. The Imperial Grand Magus is a legend, a mage bonded five times, stronger than any mage in the Empire. He has the ear of the Emperor himself. And he has a penchant for destroying those he views as a threat.

The meeting takes an unexpected turn, setting Aldric and his bonds on a course they're not sure they want to be on.

Story is good but has some hangups

first off, I am enjoying this story alot. I appreciate the drama and world building, but a few things have stuck out so far across 2 books. the narrators while fine, seem to mix voices up sometimes and have almost no variation, which can be confusing. the spicy scenes, while fine, can get a bit... juvenile. all of that I can overlook for the most part, but the most annoying part of this story so far is the MC just refusing to bond more women and essentially whining about it. I get the angle (not wanting to feel like he is just using women as objects) but I can't stand stories where the MC acts all "woe is me", especially when his harem so far is basically pushing him to do it. seems unnecessary.

Amazing!

Even though this is the second book. It was amazing to read both back to back. The hooks are AMAZING! The bad guys are terrible and the good guys are just that much better!! The sex isn't black light special but it isn't 1975 hustlers either. Over all, Love the characters, the story, the banter and everything about this. It may be my new favorite series.

Fantastic job

Quickly becoming my favorite series In The genre. Excellent job handling so many characters. So much love went into this. It really shows.

Loved it

I was in a book slump and couldn't find anything I wanted to read. So I decided to pick this up. It was exactly what I was looking for. Just the right amount of action and intrigue. A touch rough around the edges but still fantastic.

the magicn

I think when the girls push about the bond canidates there shoild have been a little more annoyance to make it a little more realistic aldric never really wanted to push them and didn't really but they became really pushy without respecting how aldric felt and talked over him without truly listening and on aldric part he didn't fight back enough or truly convey what he felt like in a more articulate way
