About this listen
I thought I was destined for an early grave. Apparently, fate had other plans for me.
My name is Jake. After twenty-three years of life, all I have to my name is a dead-end job and an undiagnosed metabolic disorder that has the doctors baffled.
Everything changed on my birthday when I found a magical key that followed me home. It led me to the Halls of Magic, a multiversal repository of arcane knowledge that will allow me the chance to cure my broken body and unlock arcane power.
However, the Halls are long abandoned and overrun with man-eating monsters. Also, my Spellbook looks like it's straight out of a video game. When I turned to the Aspects of Magic for help, they broke free of their crystalline prisons and then moved in with me back on Earth. To say they have a lot to learn about being human is an understatement.
Welcome to the Halls of Magic. You never know just what you'll learn.

Story2
In this world, where academic success could literally mean the difference between life and death, many students develop emotional baggage. Fortunately for Alexa, she does not suffer from the problems that plague most of her peers. Gifted with an intelligent mind to start, she realized early on that applying herself to both her academic and sports competitions was the number one way to succeed in this world. How can she do it? Shuffle studying, school work, and sports practice, all while being a teenager? The answer is simple: she has no emotions.

All of the incredibly powerful high mages died out centuries ago. Nobody expected one to return. I was just a simple blacksmith apprentice when a visit by the mages of Essalin confirmed what I’d long suspected—I could touch the aether. Destined to be a mage, I’m plucked from my village alongside a feisty redhead so we could journey to the fabled city of the high mages to learn how to control and wield the aether. The road there isn’t going to be easy though.

I'm really enjoying Emily's writing style and I'm soon going to catch up on all her books. I'm excited for what's next!
I absolutely crushed this book, couldn't put it down.

Because the halls are abandoned. Jake may be the last mage in existence, and he has no idea what he's doing. And meanwhile, he still needs to pay rent. The main character is relatable and nice, the kind you want to root for. While he's given power, it's not easy and he's not overpowered. You want to listen more to find out what happened to his mother when she disappeared and why the Halls of Magic were abandoned. And the voice actors (plural - one for each gender) are great, able to portray different voices well.
Really, I only have one complaint...but it spoiled the book for me. The main character meets a living personification of magic and accidentally turns her human. Okay. She has to learn about being human - like what eating is, and how to pee. Okay. She falls in love with him. Okay. And then, with a child-like innocence, she has sex with him. Emphasis on 'child like'. She doesn't understand her own body, let alone what sex means. It made me feel sick to listen to it.
Other than that, the book was a good listen. The author clearly has potential! I just hope the author's next book decides to make a less innocent and naive love interest.
Good book spoiled by a sex scene
