About this listen
The ancient magic of wizards was anything but dark. It was the enlightenment that lifted humanity from the squalor of superstition, and the worship of fell spirits and capricious gods, but those days are gone. The shining glory of the sorcerers burned away the subtlety of wisdom, replacing it with easy power, held only in the hands of the elite - a new age built upon the elemental supremacy of aristocrats and the ignorance of the masses.
But this will change, for the greatest power comes with knowledge, and the deeper teachings of wizardry have not been utterly lost. The last wizard of the old tradition still survives in solitude, nursing tired grudges and waiting for death.
His passing might have gone unnoticed, but for the imposition of a youth too stubborn to accept his refusal to take an apprentice. With a new student comes new hope, and that hope has caused old powers to stir again. That the world will change is inevitable, but the shape of the future is anything but certain.

I enjoyed this story.
The story is hilarious, and the narrator is skilled in projecting a scene with enthusiasm. Some of the character developments seems unrealistic for the situation they're in, however the story is stable enough due to those scenes not having a great significance over the plot. The semi antagonistic personality of the protagonist is a welcome change to what I'm used to, especially with him becoming more and more understanding of his grandfather's personality. I look forward to a continuation of Will's distress.

Cannot pull myself away. Instantly a favourite.
Highly recommended this book if you love magic and fantasy. Very few dull moments and the characters will always surprise you.
Warning!!! If you listen to this book in public with headphones you may look like a lunatic laughing to themselves while listening to the banter between Will and his Grandfather.

Not what I expected... Witty, hilarious and of course Magical!
I really loved this book. I wasn't sure what I expected. A coming of age type book with a dash of fantasy.
I was mistaken.
Once again, Tim Gerald Reynolds would have bn my top pick for narration and he never let me down. He is truly remarkable in bringing characters to life!
Highly recommend and have already downloaded book 2. Thx to all and of course, the one that made it happen, Michael G. Meaning!

Strong start, weak finish.
The book starts very strong with compelling characters and tons of humour. Throughout the first half, you are taught one thing about the MC and the world only to have the MC throw it all in your face.
It is very well written, in that it never feels meandering or verbose, but also it seems poorly thought out. I don't think it recommend it, but that doesn't mean it's bad, just that it led down an unfortunate path that inevitably continues in the sequels.

Fantastic Read
I came accross this series by a search of the narrator actually. I was pleasantly surprised by the story line and have purchased book 2 excitedly. Book 1 got me totally immursed in the story and of course ended with me wanting the next book immediately. Would highly recommend this series so far, and cannot wait to delve into book 2 and for book 3 and 4 to become available on Audible!!!!
