Publisher's summary
Contains some language/swearing.
Maglen, a hero of the Freedom Wars, was an amazing leader of warriors at a young age. The tolls of war tainted the man. After the wars, Maglen became a loner. He had become bitter, xenophobic, and very rude. Summoned by his emperor, he is encouraged to lead an extremely important expedition in search of the legendary continent of Olume. At first skeptical and reticent, Maglen argues against the perceived validity and value of the expedition..
The Mists of Olume includes two epic adventures wrapped into one story.
First, Maglen must meet the demand, at his emperor’s insistence, that he upgrade his capabilities in the realm of magic. He must accomplish this while he prepares the expedition for the odyssey. Once at sea, he must overcome the shipboard challenges while attempting to find Olume. These strain both his mental and physical capabilities.
Equally or perhaps even more importantly, Maglen must conquer the hurdles encountered in his efforts to eliminate his uglier faults. That quest has him fighting to surmount his shortcomings and recapture his purer motivations, optimism, and leadership skills from his past. Maglen has a love of blades and is a remarkable swordsman. His proclivity for blades proves, for the second time in his life, that he is a less-than-stellar student of the magical sciences.
So, grab your favorite beverage. Get comfortable. Join Maglen and his expedition as they take on this epic adventure in a forgotten place, in a forgotten time.

Very slow, could have been structured better
This book suffers from a few problems... telling instead of showing, repeating items many times and moving things along slowly. Basically, the characters meet at some place and start talking for a long time. They finally decide to travel to another place. In the meantime, they talk a lot about other people and other places.
This comes across like a jumbled plot outline for something better, with details written on index cards and shuffled... and then a few characters randomly mentioning them as they travel, at length.
Hopefully, things get better in the second book.

A thrilling fantasy tale with a twist!
"The Mists of Olume" by Geo Rogers, narrated by Stephen William Hodd, is a thrilling fantasy tale with a twist of introspection. Rogers weaves a captivating narrative, showcasing Maglen's journey of self-discovery amidst epic adventures. A slow build but wsell worth the patience. Hodd's narration brings the characters to life, making it an engaging listen for fantasy enthusiasts.

Insanely Slow
Prose and performance are serviceable, but the pacing is glacial. Most of the book is spent with characters giving long soliloquies about the MCs backstory or doing world building. The world building is decent.
