Restriction

The Rise of Magic, Book 1

De: CM Raymond, LE Barbant, Michael Anderle

Narrado por: Kate Rudd

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." (Arthur C. Clarke)

She didn't mean to use magic.

She didn't even know she had magic.

She just wanted to save her brother, who was dying in her arms.

Accused of using illegal magic, and sentenced to a cruel death at the hands of the city's guards, Hannah has no choice but to trust in the aid of a strange old man who wields unimaginable power.

The Founder has returned to correct the wrongs of unjust. But to do that, he needs Hannah, a young woman from the city slums. She has a key to unlocking a power even greater than his own - if she can only learn to trust herself and the magic flowing within her blood.

Restriction is a fantasy set in the far future, where magic and monsters ravage the land of Irth and only the strong survive.

Set on the foundation laid by the Kurtherian Gambit Series, Restriction tells an entirely new story in the Age of Magic - and of the heroes and villains who battle for control of its destiny.

Great Starting Point to the Age of Magic!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book to people of the proper age/maturity. I wish there wasn't so much crude language as it really limits where I can listen to this story and who I might recommend it to. The story is really fantastic and I hate to see something like too many curse words dampen that.

I still recommend this audiobook, though, because the story really is that good. I love the world of magic this story is set in and I love that the magic is impressive, but still has a cost. There aren't a bunch of wizards running around throwing around powerful spells because they feel like it. Using magic takes energy from their body. You need a consequence in stories like these.The characters are great. The villains were people that I truly despised and the heroes are likeable and I was definitely rooting for them. Hannah shows growth and plenty of emotion.

This was the first book I've read in the Kurtherian Gambit series and I loved being introduced to this universe. The audiobook was very attention-grabbing and I found myself listening every chance I could get.

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

Kate does a great job of conveying the emotion that each character is expressing. The emotions she puts into each character's dialogue really helps to immerse the listening into the story. She does a great job with the characters and it helps me to keep the pace. Sometimes when I'm reading a book, I tend to rush through the story instead of enjoying it at the pace the author intended it to be.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A dream corrupted. A hero awakened.

Any additional comments?

I wasn't a fan of the amount of cursing in this book, but don't let that be something that stops you from experiencing this audiobook. The story really is excellent and I can't wait to listen to the next one in the series. And Kate narrates this story beautifully.

Action at its best!

This was my first audio book into this world that Can. M. Raymond created and I enjoyed it. The story follows Hannah as she finds out she has magic and learns how to use it! In this world magic is outlawed and almost gets her raped and killed.
Her life is the easiest as she looks after her sickly brother and an alchoholic dad and runs cons with her friend to make money to live. She vows revenge when Her family is killed against the same men who tried to rape her.
I loved the story and will start the next book right away!

On Point!

Freaking Phenominal! Loved the charachters! Plot was outstanding! Narrator was on point! Loved this book!

Good book

Good book with an interesting plot. The narration is also good and fits the story.

Exhilarating

This is a series I could get lost in, locked in my room, hiding from the world for days until getting the chance to hear it all. From the lowest in society, stealing and scamming for money to buy food..... then becoming one of the highest held in esteem - by accident. I love the detail, characters and plot. I cannot wait to start the second. I listened to this in nearly a single day, while redoing the lock stone in my driveway. I couldn’t believe it had been 7+ hours because I was engaged in the story while working. Made time pass so much faster than if I’d been doing that work without. Very excited to listen to the next one :)
