The First Wizard

Dawn of Wizards, Book 1

By: Jeffrey L. Kohanek

Narrated by: Pavi Proczko

Before wizards, the races of magic held the power...
and enslaved humans.

Ian and Vic are brothers. Their lives are simple, and while they might long for excitement, happiness can be found in a hard day's work, a sunny day, or the smile from a pretty girl.

Their lives are turned on end when their village is attacked and they are taken as slaves, destined to labor under the watchful eye of their captors.

The strife that had long dominated much of the world had found them.

Things would never be the same.

Listen and discover how the first wizard came to be.

From international bestselling author Jeffrey L. Kohanek comes a fantasy epic filled with twists, magic, and discovery, certain to keep you enthralled and repeatedly saying "just one more chapter."

I loved the growth of the characters

the book was amazing the second book was just as fantastic the cliff hanger in the second had me wanting third book already

Slow but brilliant

Have to say Pavi is one of the best narrators of this genera of LitRPG and epics, his tonal range and voice changes are epic.
Keep up the good work!!

The story is amazing, it is a wee bit slow but the world building and the involvement of the characters is top notch. Can’t wait for the second book to see where they go and how they progress!
Way worth the credit!

Great 1st book

I really enjoyed the process and journey. The story evolved well. Some of the situations seemed forced. Like of course there is a prison break…. But it was good. I enjoyed the story and narration

Interesting plot but done all wrong

In MY OWN personal opinion it’s not that good. I struggled very hard to finish this book and only because I spent money on it. It’s so incredibly slow and the only real plot developments are sexual assault and kidnapping. It’s one of those books where when you aren’t bored your heart is aching about what’s happening and if this person is gonna be hurt beyond repair of if this person and that person will ever meet again and so on. Adding a romantic figure just to use them as character development is over used. It’s a book of overly used terrible tropes that shouldn’t be used to begin with but again that is MY OWN personal opinion. If you like to feel sad and scared and worried and you don’t mind slice of life. This is probably your style of book. I personally like books with action and adventure and sword fights and real magic, the magic in this book is just weird and that’s after you spend half the book actually trying to see it.

story

Great plot. fast, well written funny and smart. Great narration. love it. If you like sci-fi fantasy you will love it too.
