Publisher's summary

Otto Shenk is the youngest son of a minor baron. He's also a wizard.

Abused by his family and considered less than human by his kingdom, Otto does his best to survive. But everything changes when Otto stumbles across a tower hidden deep in a dark part of the forest near his home.

A tower that was once the home of an Arcane Lord, the immortal wizards that long ago ruled the world. Otto’s life will be changed forever. And so will the world.

The end was no end

The end just dropped me in the middle of nowhere.

I didn’t like that most of the book the main character was a good guy. Then suddenly near the end of the book he began to seem evil.

Review

There is about seven book in the series. This book is definitely not for everyone but overall it is a great enjoyment. Luckily I was able to get all seven books at a discount because of my membership. But overall I really enjoyed the series. Great character development especially when it came to the main character. I really enjoyed his pursuit of knowledge and understanding about becoming a better wizard. That is one thing I’ve noticed that is missing in other fantasy operas. Once again I say that this series is not for everyone you’re either going to love it or hate it.

Machinations

I love a good villain. Power is indeed a very intoxicating way to corrupt one's soul. Sprinkle in a bit of intrigue and you have a wonderful excuse for a new audio binge.

A Decent Start to a New Series

I had been looking at this book series on kindle for a while now and was hesitant at first to pick up a new series at the time. After finishing this book I will most definitely be picking up the other books on kindle too.

Not for everyone

Spoiler warning!

I loved this book… well I was loving it until the main character got NTR’d and not just a glancing touch or a few love letters exchanged, no this was full on cuckolding for most of the time mc was being mc. Still from the unique magic system to word building to character development it makes up for the fact that mc was married to a whore and the revenge although somewhat incomplete was very much worth the wait. Even if you have reservations on NTR I think you should give this a chance because the story deserves it.
