About this listen

Andrew has one chance to pull himself up from his humble beginnings and make something of himself. He has been found to have a spark of magic deep within himself. To bring it forth, he must first learn to summon the familiar. He must use every drop of his magic to search the Lands of Mist and find the one meant for him. The one he will be bonded to for life. The one who is actually capable and willing to make all his dreams possible. Andrew may be small now, but he has big dreams.

There's an interesting world and set of events playing out in this book that at times is extremely engaging, however it often becomes mired in long info-dumps and exposition to explain pieces of the world that don't really need explaining instead of moving the plot forward or having this information play itself out naturally (I'm looking at you paragraph explaining school timetables). All in all though, a good time.

this book is a very good one, with the characters written in to the story and the characters portrayed very well. However it does a bit of a nosedive with some long and non interesting dialogue trying to get to a point, though it is the only gripe I have, I am very much looking forward to the next book

The story is solid, however there are a lot of information dumps especially ones where characters are talking to one another as the characters are reasonably young it doesn’t fit properly. In saying that would buy again and read solid book
