Unproven

When Technology Advances and Magic Evolves, No One Is Safe

De: Drew Briney

Narrado por: Jeffrey Howard

When Shadow, a powerless mage, chose exile to preserve family honor, he didn’t expect a mysterious call to defeat psionic, camouflaging dragons - nor did he expect them to offer him a glimpse into a life wielding a mage’s power.

Surprises mount when a steampunk army invades his homeland and Shadow is tasked with uncovering the secret behind magic’s evolution while leading a youth team infested with at least one traitor. Distracted by an unwelcomed romance, losses mount as he stumbles through treachery, vampiric vines, ancient disembodied mages, and the legendary Mists of Ishmandool where few escape with their sanity.

By the time Shadow announces he’s found the solution, it may be too late. Even if it’s not, it risks the complete annihilation of his people and it’s unproven.

Unproven has drawn comparisons to Ursula Le Guin (Harry Potter’s biggest influence), Elaine Cunningham (the queen of dark fantasy and Forgotten Realms), and Fydor Dostoevsky (psychological godfather of Crime and Punishment). With strong female characters, a dark M. Night Shyamalan twist, dragons on steroids, a Brandon Sanderson-esque tight plot, and prodigious world building, Unproven is destined to satiate listeners who enjoy sword and sorcery, mythical creatures, ghosts, dark fantasy, psychological thrillers, and Dungeons & Dragons.

Good concept

This was a Good concept but story was long and for me to slow and drawn out. Cause of this it was difficult to keep my interest. Might be just the book for others but did not keep me engaged.

Superb

I definitely enjoyed this story. The characters had me hooked from the beginning. Loved the narrator’s voice.

Dragons, griffins & mages, oh my!

This is a pretty dense listen & sure to be part of a trilogy. Very complex world-building. I am intrigued by the human-designed flight machines—though they seem pretty flimsy compared to a fckn dragon—but it’s a nice touch, a little steampunkish really.

Good read

Unproven: When Technology Advances and Magic Evolves, No One Is Safe. My third read from author Drew Briney was longer than my first two reads and more enjoyable. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reading & reviewing it. Jeffrey Howard’s narration adds to the book's enjoyment. I'll be reading more from this author.

Great Story, Bad Reader

I loved the actual story, however the reader did a horrible job. The reader read with the same monotone voice the entire time, and there are several spots in which it seemed as though the readers mike had issues. there was no change in tone or voice for characters thoughts or words. This is the first audio book that I ever fell asleep while trying to listen to. I love the story itself, it just needs a much better presenter.

liked it

good book, kept my attention all the way to the end, amazing audio delivery, loved it. Will be reading again. Every chapter was received amazingly. I do recommend you give it a read.

MAGIC VS TECHNOLOGY – GREED IS ALL ENCOMPASSING

I received this book for free and am giving my honest and voluntary review.

A story of technology versus magic, also machines versus nature. As the long journey of the mages comes to an end, I’m left not knowing if the end came or if it was a fit of madness. The storyline is wonderful and the story is long. It delves into all the characters’ points of view.

The narration is stupendous and I got caught up in the story, even though it was a very long narrative. Well done!

Not what I was expecting

The premise sounded good but the story just didn’t hold my interest. The narration was ok. Could have had a little more voice differentiation.

Not Bad

This was a pretty good story. I found it to be a very complex story that was hard to follow at first. But after sticking with it, I got sucked in and found I liked it. Interesting characters and a plot that keeps you guessing.
