Publisher's Summary
When Caldan’s parents are brutally slain, he is raised by monks and taught the arcane mysteries of sorcery. Vowing to discover for himself who his parents really were, and what led to their violent end, he is thrust into the unfamiliar chaos of city life. With nothing to his name but a pair of mysterious heirlooms and a handful of coins, he must prove his talent to earn an apprenticeship with a guild of sorcerers.
But he soon learns the world outside the monastery is a darker place than he ever imagined, and his treasured sorcery has disturbing depths.
As a shadowed evil manipulates the unwary and forbidden powers are unleashed, Caldan is plunged into an age-old conflict that brings the world to the edge of destruction.
This is an updated recording from the original 2014 edition, also performed by Oliver Wyman, which matches the current reissue of the print book.

Fantastic start to the series
I started this series looking for similar feel to James Islington and Brandon Sanderson, but with its own personality. I was not dissapointed.
Being the first book in the sorcery ascendant series, it does exactly what it's supposed to - introduce characters, establish the setting and left me wanting to continue to the next book.
well worth the read (listen).

I was looking forward to this after some glowing reviews but it didn't live up to them.
After stopping reading this about 2 weeks ago I have honestly no recollection of the main character's name and barely any memory about what happened in the majority of the book I listened to. So quite a forgetful book.
I found the found Mitch's writing style pretty unsophisticated but certainly easy to follow.
Perhaps this book would be best enjoyed by younger listeners.
