Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,551
Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well. Then one night Minalan is forced to pick up his mageblade again to defend his adopted home from the vanguard of an army of goblins bent on a genocidal crusade against all mankind. And that was the good news.

The Wizard's Council of Tarador was supposed to tell young Koren Bladewell that he is a wizard. They were supposed to tell everyone that he is not a jinx, that all the bad things that happen around him are because he can't control the power inside him, power he doesn't know about. The people of his village, even his parents, are afraid of him, afraid he is cursed. That he is a dangerous, evil jinx.

Rough Start But a Solid Series.

Allystaire Coldbourne travels a treacherous path toward his Ordination as a holy knight of legend, a Paladin, a savior of the people. But to fulfill this role, he - and the unexpected allies he finds along the way - must face the demonic, sorcerous evil that stalks the land, the wrath of gods and men, and his own dark past.

Great writing with a simple story.
The story of Ordination is classical, as in this is fable level of classical, with few truly original elements. Yet you could be forgiven for forgetting this with the writing. Archetypical characters are given depth and nuance without breaking the mold, and even when you can see what's coming from a mile away, you still want to read on. Still, my one major complaint is that this is an unsatisfying book 1 if only for an abrupt ending. I still recommend and plan to read the rest. Also Michael Kramer could read the yellow pages and and his wife the White Pages and I'd listen to both.
Highly recommended, but I might wait for book 2 as to not have to deal with that sudden end!

Starts off amazing!
The book opens up on some solid ground, I felt like " here comes an epic tale of general badassery" it does deliver! I did find that it got repetitive near the mid all the way to the end, the book becomes a little predictable as well but that can't be helped if you've read a lot of epic fantasy. If you have no patience for a hook repeating the same explanation for multiple occurrences then this may not be the best book for you. Overall a decent start to a series!

Hang in there for a GREAT ADVENTURE!
Ok- right away let me say that any low star or bad review must ONLY of come from impatience!!! No true fantasy lover could give this book less than 4 1/2 starzzz! This book was AWESOME! The first chapters (1-6/7) were admittedly “slow” and I even had begun to think “ugh, ok but boring” as I couldn’t yet really connect to the characters or storyline. However, like other GREAT novels, once the foundation of this book is established...wow! I would compare it to Melissa McPhail’s A Pattern of Shadow & Light series or even Brandon Sanderson’s Various series... (all of which are worth every moment)
This is not the typical coming of age fantasy although it has the goods that matter; sorcery & magic, war, gods, good vs evil all set in a medieval type world with dwarves, knights, & lords as well.
The main character is Alistar, a knight whose given up fighting for a selfish Baron. Like the other territories with overlords, the Brain hopes to continue fighting (a never ending war) hopes to become king (as do his opponents). Without thought to the lives wasted and/or used to accomplish these goals. Well, Alistar has had enough and leaves. His journey had no destination until he started recognizing “the regular folk” suffering, and for reasons he doesn’t understand himself, he begins helping and fighting for the little people (for lack of a better term & not to give away whole plot). He is rewarded for this by a goddess and I will say no more for spoiling the storyline! This is a GREAT listen and I Am downloading the 2nd book as I type this lol. I’m always looking for great listens in the fantasy genre so please send me your recommendations! I listed a couple of my own above and will add authors Anthony Ryan (both his series), David Hair (mageborn series ROCKS), Jim Butcher Codex Alera & Cinder spyres series. Ooh also The daughter of the forest series, and author Brent Weeks are incredible, along with Wheel of Time by the late great master Robert Jordan! A shoutout to what was my 1st & favorite foray into the
SCI-FI fantasy genre; that is Dan Simmons Olympos & Illium!

Vibrant, rich and developing.
What did you like most about Ordination?
Allystaire and Idgen Marte developing relationship. Idgen Martes character in general is entertaining and interesting.
What did you like best about this story?
The contrasts between the characters ideology and the way in which Allystaire is always battling himself in his decision making, this makes him feel human which also allows you to relate to him.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Mol flipping out when Allystaire bought the slaves, it felt like such a genuine reaction. This scene really brought out each character's traits to me and allowed me to think about the storytelling in a genuinely different way.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The book portrays each character very well and each actions that the characters take is well thought out and shows great planning when it comes to world development, the scene that moved me most was Idgen Marte standing in the doorway in just a shirt and her hair down, this felt like the moment that showed Idgen Marte's developing personality and comfort around Allystaire.
Any additional comments?
I feel the book really plays with your imagination and makes you ask questions of yourself which challenge your way thinking and show others in an understandable way.

Brilliant 👍
Definitely the greatest Paladin story that I've ever read and I've read quite a lot.

Awful Narrator; depressing monotone.
NOTE: I cannot comment on the story, as the narration was so depressing and lack luster, that I had to delete the title. Narrator sounds so serious and dark, would be better for some scientific book, reading facts, than narrate a story of fantasy.
I may be spoiled by Nick Podhel, Simon Vance or Sean Runette.
I love fantasy books, the summary looked like my kinda tale, but could not stomach the dreary narration. Do not be silly like me and buy before listening to the sample!

Good filler book
While not the most reverting book I have read it was well written and of course as you would expect well read. I enjoyed the characters and the premise was interesting. It was an enjoyable filler book while awaiting the next book in favourite series. Will get the rest in the series cause good filler books can be hard to find :)
