À propos de cet audio

Alex Verus is part of a world hidden in plain sight, running a magic shop in London. And while Alex's own powers aren't as showy as some mages, he does have the advantage of foreseeing the possible future-allowing him to pull off operations that have a million-to-one-chance of success.

But when Alex is approached by multiple factions to crack open a relic from a long-ago mage war, he knows that whatever's inside must be beyond powerful. And thanks to his abilities, Alex can predict that by taking the job, his odds of survival are about to go from slim to none…

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Harry Dresden would like Alex Verus tremendously - and be a little nervous around him. I just added Benedict Jacka to my must-listen to list." (Jim Butcher)

The story is interesting. The narration was excellent. The main character, Alex Verus, a magician with foresight, is pretty self confident. He thinks pretty highly of himself and his gift. I found this irritating. He is vested with the responsibility of finding a powerful, dangerous object.

PROMISING START

Overall worth listening to. It's good, and could be great, but it tries too hard at the end. It gets a bit over the top like a mission impossible sequel. Characters make inconsistent choices to advance tension/plot...

Really strong start, but tries too hard at the end

Kept me entertained the whole way through. Great narrator. . . . . . .

Great listen

This suffers a bit by the awkwardness of trying to introduce a world and characters that we expect to encounter again. Perhaps that is something that's true of all “first in the series” tales. Balancing that awkwardness is the skill displayed in narrator Gildart Jackson’s performance. He is a pleasure to listen to, no matter what the genre. It's worth carrying on with Book Two.

First in the Alex Verus Series

FATED is a ton of fun. It's a book that has been on my TBR for so long that I almost forgot about it didn't know if I'd have time to try it. So I'm glad that I did. FATED is perfect for readers who want an exciting, urban fantasy adventure with a new hero and an immersive setting.

The story follows Alex Verus, a mage with a complex past, as he and his friend Luna come across a valuable object that every mage in London wants to possess. What follows is a series of adventures as Alex and Luna racce to discover what the strange device can do, and stay alive in the process.

It was very easy for me to connect with Alex. He's kind, clever, and doesn't have the arrogance that some UF leads can have. He really did feel like a normal person with justifiable motives and logical actions. The side characters were fun and complimentary to Alex, though I hope to see Luna become more confident in future books.

The world building is immersive and easy to follow, the action and pacing are quick, and the book is full of heart and humor. I truly enjoyed the imagination put into this story and am eager to read through the rest of the series. This is the perfect book to enjoy over a weekend or to binge over the summer. Highly recommended!

Magical and Fun
