About this listen
Lusam grew up in the relative safety of the Elveen mountains with his grandmother. She taught him the basics of magic and discovered, quite by accident, that he possessed a unique skill never seen before: the ability to hide his magical aura from the mage-sight of others.
Dark secrets surround Lusam's origins, and the dark agents of the Empire will stop at nothing to kill Lusam. But before Lusam can be taught all he needed to know about his past, his grandmother unexpectedly dies of a fever, and Lusam finds himself homeless on the unforgiving streets of Helveel. Unbeknown to Lusam, the only thing keeping him alive is a promise he made to his grandmother to always hide his aura, no matter what. Lusam meets and befriends a young thief fleeing her old city of Stelgad before making a magical discovery that will change both their lives forever, and possibly the fate of the entire world.

reading nuances
too often it felt like the reader didnt understand that when you finish a statement your voice should lower slightly with a hint of finality. alex constantly finished sentences in a way that made me think more was coming, theres a coma or he was taking a break to gather his bearings on the page. good with everything else but that one thing kinda butchered it for me a little

Hard to listen to
I found the narration on the audible book very hard to listen to at first. But perseverance and a great story line got me through.

For young people
Written and read for a young audience perhaps? I found the narration very stilted and distraction.

Enjoyable
I guess it's for kids because the story is simplistic; over explained and predictable.
The narrator kept using a strange inflection at the end of every sentence, like surprized, emphatic, excited...all at the same time. And whenever he acted one of the theaves he put on a cockney type accent, but seemed to struggle to actually act at the same time
In spite of all this, I was engaged and kept listening

Not a bad fantasy for young persons
The reviews of these two books so far range from "boring" to "top notch", so I just had to find out for myself.
The story centres on a pair of 15-year olds, one of who has magical powers considerably greater than anyone else, but whose mentor and teacher died before she could educate him sufficiently. The plot, then, explores this person's growth into his abilities whilst being hunted by an "evil" emperor. It has a good pace, with chase and flight sequences, duels, and moral dilemmas. Much of the story is aimed at the 12-18 year old market, and so there is no apology for many of the cliches used.
Despite the above comments, I found the story likeable. The main characters are decent persons, and I find I am interested in following where their destinies lead them. I'll be getting the next book, or two (I haven't found the dragons, yet!).

Simplistic story line
Story line is a bit simplistic. The characters also lack depth. The magic system is not bad though
