Review Detail

What I liked:
Another Epic Fantasy story about a world that has outlawed magic and a character who has no idea he possesses any magic at all. If you are a regular reader of Fantasy, then this is a theme you probably read a different version of a lot. So what makes this one any more unique than those other tales. The author writes intriguing characters that actions have you liking or hating them. The terrain we progress through is well thought and detailed enough to see yourself there. The creatures that the characters battle are scary, intimidating, and feel natural as they leap off the page. Giant spiders, oh no. The author doesn't just throw a magic system at you, and you accept that it works; he does lay out the history and ground rules of his world. This meaty book does not let you down as you start this adventure.
Final Verdict:
This book has everything I loved in epic Fantasy, unknown heroes, giant savage creatures, groups trying to bring magic back to the world, a society hunting down those with magic, unknowable reasons for magic coming back. At the heart of the story is the tale of a young man who fears what might save the world, magic, cause if he owns it, he may never be heard from again.
Audiobook Review:
The Narrator does a fantastic job of drawing you into the story. The pacing is just right for this epic story; you get lost in the descriptions, the battles are nail-biting, and I can't wait to continue the story.
