About this listen

Exiled from his family of traders in mystical goods and services on his 23rd birthday, the merchant magician must make his way in the world: meeting mermaids in San Francisco, Midwestern leprechauns, Icelandic dwarves and the girl of his dreams, who happens to be a cultist devoted to the rise of the great old ones who will consume the world in ash and fire when they awaken.

Blending real-world negotiation theory with a coming of age story in an urban fantasy setting, this book will appeal to fans of Jim Butcher, Charles de Lint, and Neil Gaiman.

Interesting and fun story.
The narration is a little clunky and the story itself feels AI influenced, but the whole package is enjoyable.

creative story, reminded me of 'The Alchemist' in some ways. I found the narration struggles at times, especially with accents.

fun, quick listen

Alright back story time ...I naturally ran out of spotify time and audible credits, so I decided to see what Audible had kicking around for free. I've played this game before, mostly ending up with something I need to DNF and then I came across this gem. I figured for a 3h37m listen, why not give it a try, the description was intriguing, no ratings 🤷‍♀️ Well I am so glad I did. What a fun story! Characters you can appreciate, a really cool take on the world of magic. I'm also in marketing, so the references on bargaining tactics and schools of thought were delightful 😊 Looking forward to the next one!

Short, sweet and a really cool world w/rad characters
