Story4.5 out of 5 stars 289
Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

From the moment Dara of Westwood spied the Silver Headed Raptor nesting in Rundeval Peak, the precocious redheaded 12-year-old girl was enchanted. The youngest daughter of the Master of the Wood lived in ramshackle Westwood Hall, in the independently minded Westwood estate of Sevendor. Her determination to capture a baby falcon and train it wasn’t hampered by the fact that Dara had never climbed a mountain, had never been trained in falconry, or even remotely had permission from her father to do it.

Minalan the Spellmonger has come a long way since he woke up to a goblin invasion almost a decade ago. Since then, he has built cities and mighty armies, invented new enchantments, and pioneered entirely new fields of magic. Now that the Witch Queen of Darkfaller has taken over one of the most powerful castles in the center of the kingdom, he has to marshal all his resources—political, military, and arcane—to try to drive her from the strategic and symbolically important stronghold.

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.

Publisher's Summary
When Pentandra got married and took a new job, she knew it would be tough.
Ducal Court Wizard is supposed to be the cushiest of assignments for a mage, full of stipends, laboratories, and expense funds. But when you join the Orphan Duke’s expedition to reclaim, recapture, and restore his shattered realm to health, you have to expect things to be...less cushy.
With the south in full rebellion, the goblins stirring on the northern frontier, and the summer capital being run by a corrupt baron and a gang of thugs, things could be better. But those aren’t the worst of her problems: Pentandra is learning how to live with her new husband, Arborn, while the town is driven to distraction by an incarnate sex goddess who is organizing all of the whores, a mopey spellmonger, a nun addicted to gambling, a prude sent by the queen, undead skulking through the shadows, and a mysterious blind girl shows up in her office claiming to be her new apprentice!
It’s enough to drive any woman mad, but Pentandra is not just any woman...she’s the hope of the Alshari Wilderlands, the woman everyone knows as the Court Wizard!

Not happy with Terry!
Well this book is a serious letdown for me, I thought I was getting the next book in the Spellmonger series, well I was sorely mistaken.
This is by far one of my most favourite book series on Audible, but this book will not be included, I doubt I will even finish this book. In fact im more than likely going to have my credit refunded.
If you want a book that basically goes nowhere and focuses on Pentandra and the Eeshey God of love or lust or whatever then this book is for you. For the first few hours of this book I was asking myself is the whole book going to be about this crap, then I got curious and jumped to a few later chapters and realized yes.....yes indeed its about Pentandra and Eeshey. Whats worse is there seems to be 35 hours focusing on one bloody festival including Characters I don’t and will never care about. Are you serious Terry??? 35+ hours of shite content that adds no substance to the spellmonger series??? This book should be a standalone side story, or possibly 2-3 hours in a proper Spellmonger book, you know like some basic tying backstorys together, but an entire book dedicated to a crapy and I mean Crapy story. Wow im so disappointed that an Author like Terry would release this.
Maybe you the reader of this review will like this book, good luck.

Well written and a great story
Great to watch Aguin grow and become a power house. Watching those two rebuild their dutchy and the awesome growth of Aguin and seeing the mage lords back him, if you know you know Azar doing his thing powerful.

Great
A refreshing break from the main warfront, expands on many characters and introduces a few others. I appreciate the clear character management, i felt i always knew where every character was and whom they were with.

Dragged on...
Unfortunately, this book felt very heavily like a filler, by repeating a lot of previously known information. It would have been decent as a novella, but as a full production it was tough to get through.

bloody love it
I love this series. book 1 I didnt know if I liked a few things but it got so addicting to see minalin through his challenges and advancements. the shocker was learning to yearn for more depth into the other characters which make this book and the knights magi books so amazing. I bought this book the last book and the next book all at once because I knew I would adore them. great job mancour. and mr.lee does a great job in his audio

Nice point of view
Compared to enchanter this was 10/5, nice perspective through Pentandra for the same period, now on to Shadowage for the Tinilin and Rondall perspective.

A whole lot of nothing...
When i saw the length, i could barely control my excitement. 35 hours of Minalan, sign me up and throw away the key.
Unfortunately, this book is actually only about 14 hours long.
Let me explain:
The first three hours, set the stage for the book. The next important event doesn't happen until 21 (mind numbing) hours later, at hour around 24. During this time there are countless political meetings and combating insurgents using misdirection. A whole lot of talking, zero to little doing.
When my wife read the book, (shes a skipper), we found that she had 95% of the story, and enjoyed herself, using the above timings. If this was not a book related to Minalan, i would have given up around hour 5-8.
Minalan is not involved.
This book's 14 hours of actual story does advance the spellmonger series, but there are quite a few hoops to jump through.

Boring.
Not sure what is going on with this series, but the last two books have been a bugger to get through. Narrator did a fantastic job as always, but could not make up for the lack of direction this book had . Not sure I'll be buying the next one. The first books in the series are great. And it seems as if the story ended 2 books so.

Worst of the best
I love this series it’s a great one full of good characters and compelling plot. But most of this book is just the last book told from Penny’s perspective. Which would have been more interesting if it wasn’t most of the same material. The end did move the plot forward, a little. But there is not a lot of set up groundwork done for the last book.

a great addition if slightly weaker
Performance was solid once again. The more I listen to John Lee the more I realize how impressive his narrative skills are compared to several other narrators I've listened to.
The story itself is hard to pin down. Overall, I enjoyed the different perspective and what went down in the book. I especially enjoyed the many foresights Mancour added towards the end of this book about events far ahead into the series. I have to say I'm pumped to follow the series.
Despite that, the plotline felt odd and decentralized. Mancour doubles down on his unnecessary explanations of things the reader should have hammered into one's head at this point; don't get me wrong, I understand the need to re-explain parts of a story for each new addition to a series, but there were several of these where I wondered where the editor was vacationing for so long. And I swear that I had maybe 5+ occasions where I asked myself, "wait a second. shouldn't [character] already know this?". I actually saw that some readers decided to skip this one.
Though I sort of understand where they're coming from, I would still recommend this to any avid fan of the Spellmonger series. It provides a really neat overlapping of some previous events as well as adding to the main plotline. The character development is fantastic and deserved. And while I couldn't be certain how well Mancour did at developing the thoughts and feelings from a female perspective, I do applaud his attempt at diversifying his narrative.

filling pages
I was really into this story, the production was good as usual and the the narrator is great. That being said i got sick of the nowhere dialogue. I almost returned the last book for that reason but i gave him another chance. The author has started just filling pages to stretch the story. This is simply my opinion.

ok but the weakest since knights magi
nicely performed as always but the story is nonsensical at parts. it's like the story took off and the author is stretching side stories into full length stories. not a bad read but not as good as the earlier stuff.

Surprisingly Boring
What happened?! This series was so great until this book, which centers on Pentandra (sp?) and her administrative adventures of running a magical government. I’m barely getting through it it’s so slow and dry. Narration by John Lee always great of course.
