About this listen

Gregory’s life changed when his aether sparked to life during the Age Day ritual. He left his old friends and his old life behind, and was taken to the Magi Academy to start training to serve the Vela Empire. Suddenly alone and out of place, he prepared for the worst.

When the beautiful novice, Yukiko Warlin, asked if they could be friends, his life changed again. After six months of duplicity from the people who they had thought of as friends, Gregory and Yukiko isolated themselves from all the other novices.

Gregory chose a path considered impossible for his training, and Yukiko followed, pushing each other to strive ever harder. When Yukiko’s betrothal was annulled, the two friends were free to express the deeper feelings that had developed between them.

The first tournament for the novices was brutal on the two young lovers. Both of them were pushed to the absolute limit, but they endured. When they took the top two spots, their fellow novices dropped the pretense of friendship, when neither would bow to the machinations of their peers.

Now, the rest of their first year stands before them. It’s become clear that they should join a clan, but where can they find one that would treat them both fairly and equally?

Fun

Not as strong as the first book, while I'm not bothered by the relationship being a primary point but the lovey dovey talk felt uncomfortable at times.
Looks like the series is moving away from the abilities/growth in power to focus relationships which is a shame because the narration is excellent.

10/10 series

Fantastic series so far, I do think that this one was either a bit rushed or just had a lot of time fillers. Not in a bad way, just wasn’t the usual day by day of the first.

Great series in general and if you enjoy martial arts and some cultivation I recommend this series

meh

It was good but I think it could had done without a few of the chapters because It didn't have a great impact to the over all story. I hope that in the next one or ones that it doesn't become repetitive with the daily routines and the love scenes but more focus on in-depth character development and history of the world. But over all its wasn't that much of a great step up from the first book but as always the narrator was awesome.

Very slow. Unlikable main character

People bully the main character throughout the story for no reason. At the end of of the book now and I want to bully him as well. He has no depth, no bad parts, and the magic system is not well designed either.
