À propos de cet audio

Mage Errant: Publisher's Pack contains books one and two of the Mage Errant series.

Into the Labyrinth, book one

Hugh of Emblin is, so far as he's concerned, the worst student that the Academy at Skyhold has ever seen. He can barely cast any spells at all, and those he does cast tend to fail explosively. If that wasn't bad enough, he's also managed to attract the ire of the most promising student of his year - who also happens to be the nephew of a king. Hugh has no friends, no talent, and definitely doesn't expect a mage to choose him as an apprentice at all during the upcoming Choosing.

When a very unusual mage does choose him as apprentice, however, his life starts to take a sharp turn for the better. Now all he has to worry about is the final test for the first years - being sent into the terrifying labyrinth below Skyhold.

Jewel of the Endless Erg, book two

After surviving Skyhold's deadly labyrinth, Hugh and his friends are looking forwards to an uneventful summer. Their teacher, Alustin, has chartered a sandship for a training expedition into the vast sea of sand known as the Endless Erg, aiming for the wealthy and powerful desert city of Theras Tel. Hugh's happier than he's been in a long, long time, and he's quite excited for the fresh air, sunshine, and quiet.

Of course, given Hugh's luck, their summer is going to be anything but quiet. They're about to be plunged into a morass of pirates, monsters, warring cults, flesh-tearing sandstorms, and a conspiracy against Indris Stormbreaker, the dragon queen of Theras Tel herself.

At least Hugh's going to get plenty of fresh air and sunshine.

The recording can be a bit odd cutting out here and there but a great story!

Odd cadence sometimes

This series has been one of my favorite listens ever. The narration is excellent, the story is so much fun and the characters have this incredibly wholesome bond that just makes me feel all cozy. From beginning to end, I've loved every second of this series. Highly recommend it! Genuinely one of the best books I've listened to in a long time.

So much fun and very wholesome

Looking forward to the development of the characters in next installation, good narration and good merge of magic and warriors that I was looking forward to hearing

Story:
Book is YA as in it's about a group of kids (15~16). The story-telling is actually not bad (better than Harry Potter), but everything, from character's behavior to their adventures wear kids gloves - doesn't deal with adult problems and MC is kind of dumb with heavy plot armor. This is why I wouldn't have spent a credit if the book is tagged YA.

Performance:
I have no problem with most narrators but this one has 2 major problems;
* voice is too raspy for the main cast of teenagers -> everyone sounds like they are older than 30 instead of 15
* narrator has a very bad habit of pausing for half a second in between every sentence, and this makes the book sounds extremely slow despite the fast-paced story

YA novel with bad narration

I love fantasy, particularly those with a bit of a detailed magic system so I found this recommended after I burned through the major titles. It isnt terrible (10 hours in) but good lord it's like the author doesn't know the importance of synonyms in breaking and adding nuance to text. Every conversation is just so and so said, over and over again. Where's the murmured, stammered, grunted, whispered, whined, or literally any other word conveying conversation.
