Ultimate Mage, Book 1

By: Simon Archer

Narrated by: Nik Magill

If a strange, beautiful woman offered to take you away from your dead-end life to a wonderful new world, would you go? What if, in this strange new world, your greatest talent was the key to restoring magic and saving a kingdom?

Still on board?

How about if you would win the hearts of a beautiful elven princess, a noble warrior woman, and a cunning fox-elf? All sounds good, right?

But what if there was an army of beasts and twisted elves standing in your way, trying to kill you and your friends? And how about the maniacal mastermind that stole the magic away in the first place?

Think you could handle him?

Well, you could...if you were an ultimate mage. Ready to get started?

good

good, could be better. very brusque, short sentence paragraphs. with little flow. good little story just thin.

It’s pretty good

Starts stronger than it finishes but along the way it was a fun story with quite a few interesting characters and situations that they find themselves in

Still not sure about this one

I really enjoyed the premise of the story, and thought the magic system was interesting. The MC's relationships and interactions throughout the book are also well done. The dialogue is the only real downside, and although it is distracting is not a dealbreaker for the next book. Every conversation is basically 'that's a great question' or'wow, you are amazing'. The only other issue is the combat. You have no sense of time or space with how it is occurring. Overall, I recommend this one for light listening or background noise.

fairly basic story but good overall

the authors other series are better in my opinion. story was basic, told well but no twists or turns or much excitement tbh. not bad but not really good either. I'll probably pick up the other books in the series at some point but they're not high on my wish list

not what I was expecting

I was hoping for a decent isekai, but this more about music than swords & magic
