Story
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.

Story
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.

Story
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
Opposites attack!
When the Magelord Minalan the Spellmonger’s two apprentices, Tyndal and Rondal, were knighted after the battle of Timberwatch, they were dubbed Knights Magi: A new class of nobility for distinguished High Magi. Designed to combine the pursuit of arcane knowledge with the noble aspirations of chivalry, it elevated them above common warmage...in theory. The problem was they had no idea how to be a Knight Mage...because no one had ever been one before. And as a couple of half-trained rustic apprentices from the Mindens they did not feel up to the task or the high ideals of their title.
But Master Minalan the Spellmonger decided to cure that ignorance. He arranges for Tyndal and Rondal to be tutored and trained together in their new vocation, learning the arts of magic, the craft of warfare, and the subtleties of chivalry from the finest masters in the kingdom.
If they didn’t kill each other, first.
The two young spellmonger’s apprentices from the Minden mountain domain of Boval Vale have much in common: Both had their homes destroyed, they were both sent into exile by the goblin invasion, and they both serve the same master. Yet they could not be more different.
Rondal is quiet, bookish, and introspective, dedicated to the disciplines of academic magic and anticipating a future of study, service, and, perhaps, romance. Tyndal is bold and brash: An extroverted over-achiever with dreams of glory, gold, and girls. Fate, circumstance, and the whims of the gods have forced them together, but the raw emotions of adolescence and the trauma of war put them at each others’ throats with depressing frequency. Master Minalan can’t have that, especially not in his fragile new domain with another baby on the way...so he sends them on the road.
Jealousy, anxiety, passion, and frustration conspire to make them rivals - but if they don’t figure out a way to learn to work together, and quickly, then their stubborn feud could end up affecting the fate of the entire war. Along the way they pick up some enemies, gain a few allies, master a few new skills, and attempt to learn the laws of love. But as they stumble through their lessons and learn to master their tempers they discover that the strongest bonds between men are forged by the most difficult of trials.
For after they become proficient at magic, war, and errantry they are put to the test in the field, the most difficult of circumstances...a mission where the strength of their friendship and the quality of their honor may be what defines them best as - Knights Magi!

I wasn't expecting a story of teen angst
From political intrigue, magic and war in the first three books to a book about childish and irritating characters and a lot of moody teens. There's a lot of characters whining about a variety of things but half way through the book so far and can't say much of interest has happened yet.

Magic and Tactics fun. Cringy represtion genders.
The military tactic and magic continue to be interesting for the Spell Monger books and the revelry between character was set up well, It takes a fantasy feudal system and shows the steps and aspects, be it magic school or military training, and that is interesting to see, however the representation of men and of women, not just from a feudal system's understanding but stated not just interpretation but as fact hurt. Declaring the "worth" of someone that way. The representation, ALL women in this book use sex or affection as a weapon and manipulation. Giving into to your animal nature because it is animal nature... If it was a coming of age story, it sucked.

Should have been a side story
This one should have been labeled as 5.5 instead of book 6. It can entirely be skipped without missing much in the grand scheme of things.
It's worth getting and listening to, but it's less important to the story than the revelations in the honeymoon story.

Good performance, but terrible story
I don't understand why the author decided that we needed to hate Tyndal and that Rondal was now the new hero... How one was able to master everything in a couple of weeks while the other is unable to do anything and that even what strengh Tyndal had is now overshadow by Rondal...
Long, long, long book, and pointless story... really didn't like that book.

I find the reviews misleading
before using my credit I was at odds to skip this book or not, based on the number of bad reviews. My resolve was well reworded with a story to the same class as the 1st 3 books. The only thing you must do is realize the author casts his stories in the 1st person. So with this book centered around Rondal and Tindal it is the lens of 17 year old boys and it would be best to remember that. There was also a bit of gripe about how the women are portrayed, personally knowing more then a little about early human feudal society I find it refreshing that the author writes how it was and not cave to political correctness of the 21st century. If it makes you feel uncomfortable find some comfort in seeing how far society has come rather then being angry about how it was. lastly I really don't get clams that the book bashes on Tindal and uplifts Rondal, I would concede the book is more centered on Rondal but that make sence from a story telling perspective with Rondal being under developed until this book. Other then that anyone who thinks Tindal is cast down in this book is either a raging feminist (for he is fairly chauvinistic) or simply did not read the entire book.
hope this helps anyone who shared my initial concerns.

Honestly just skip this one.
95% filler... short of a three way nothing notable happens in this book.
A terrible attempt at a coming of age story. So much time is wasted rehashing content from the first three books that you'll find yourself hitting the fast forward button constantly if not just skipping chapters all together.
I'm in all honesty disgusted with this book. It was a feeble attempt at best and a con at worst.
There's so many coming of age books and series out there that just blow this blubbering nonsense away.
I feel sorry for the narrator, I can only imagine how many times he had to drag himself to work knowing he had to read this.

Interesting
A good story in the Spellmonger series but definitely not as well written or as interesting as the first three books. Stop reading if you don’t want spoilers
Honestly there are a few holes in this story that I dislike and it was a fever short book for the series I didn’t like the fact that they made tindel seem inadequate for 3/4 if the book and Rondal becomes great at fighting and command in 4 weeks while tindal has been training over a year and with sword masters and war mages in the last book honestly it’s annoying but I can see why the author went on this direction to try and even out the apprentice’s but in my opinion this wasn’t written well

I have loved the series so far. John Lee is a great narrator and brings these to life. This book however is terrible. Apprentice vs apprentice but written from a whiney little snot pov who somehow is able to go from bookworm to master swordsman and confident soldier after a couple of weeks of training, let's be real. I couldn't finish the book due to the poor writing and the wrongful elevation of Rondal. I recommend skipping this one completely

Way worse than first few
if you want to read about how dumb tindal is and how double teaming a girl makes everything better than this is a good read.

series is good, this book is painful
The series is good, this book is painful. The narration is good as usual but this is justbto teenage angsty.

Should be titled “Rondal the great, Tyndal sucks at everything now”
I have loved every book in this series before now. And I was excited about the idea of the two apprentices getting the training they needed.
But over the course of the book all that happens is Rondal getting more and more powerful and being a jerk while Tyndal learns a little blue magic.
Seriously Rondal goes through what amounts to basic training and proceeds to beat Tyndal at all physical/warrior activities from that point on. As someone who has done military basic training it is preposterous. Seriously, basic training and then poof better at everything and acts like a total jerk from that point on.
I started this book feeling for Rondal and ended it wishing him to his doom on the Umbra.....

Tyndal bad Rhondal good.
the series has probably been one of my favorite fantasy series of all time so far. that was up until this book. the writer spent the better part of two books building up Tyndall only to throw him down into the dirt every chance he possibly gets in this book just to build up the other Apprentice. I saw someone else in another review mention that the author could possibly be a nerd who was picked on in school that is why he has such a hard-on for punishing jocks. that honestly makes a lot of sense to me. overall only read or listen to this book if you enjoy the building up of one person at the expense of everyone else, what a huge departure from the rest of the series. 10 hours in and I cannot bring myself to finish this book , I am honestly fearful the rest of the series is now going to be ruined if this book is anything to go by

More of a side book.
Almost makes me hate the boys. To them it seems that if you are a pretty girl who will sleep with them....yes both of them, then well it doesn't matter that she lied and tried to get a innocent man kill. First they were going to send her to hang, but then oh look she wants to sleep with them. Please understand I love the first 3 books but this one I am going to return.
