    About this audiobook

    Mordecai has discovered his heritage and must take up the mantle of a
    lord of the realm, while figuring out what it really means to be a mage
    of the line of Illeniel. He is beset on both sides by allies and
    enemies trying to control or destroy his future. Gods and kings both
    seek to manipulate him for their own ends, and no matter what he chooses
    his loved ones will suffer. Will he risk destroying his love with a
    bond that might be her death, or face the madness that comes to wizards
    who embrace power without restraint?

      How not TO RELAX

      Apr 10, 2024

      ‘What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare?’ wrote a chap called William H. Davies, the poet laureate of the duvet day. He coined those words in 1911, which was clearly a more relaxed age. I’d like to see Mr Davies attemp

      Another excellent tale in this series. Again, I found myself laughing out loud at times. Also had tears at other times. I'm thoroughly enjoying this series. Adding it to my "Favorites of all time" list. It ranks right up there with The Riftwar Cycle series (Which is to date, by most favorite series).
    • 4/5
      Great improvement on all the problems I had with the first book.
    • 3/5
      These books are pretty fun, but almost identical to the Art of the Adept series. I think I preferred those, but so so much is the same. In this Mordecai becomes almost godlike, which gets old. My main issue with the books is the main character. In both series really, but by far more so with Mordecai. To put it simply, I don’t like him very much. He plays self righteous hero sometimes, but cavalier murderer at others. His disregard for potential consequences goes beyond boldness. In fact it borders on a serious personality disorder or cognitive deficiency, kind of like you’ll see with psychopathy or anti-social PD. There are so many moments in dialogue where I wish someone would throttle him. He barks rude comments like a genuine asshole at moments that don’t really call for it, even with friends or allies. Even more annoying are the little prefaces he gives for these comments, such as :”I knew I should bite my tongue, but my temper got the better of me.” When he said the lame ass mantra of “stupid never dies” for the 100th time, I was tempted to rip my headphones out in disgust.

      The juvenile parts about sex & sophomoric misogyny get old too. Still, it’s pretty good. Good enough to have in the background at work, as it’s not like you need to hang on every word.

      Fun but annoying.

      This is the second book in the series and I reviewed the first one a few weeks ago. In the second book, the story gets a bit darker. Our hero has to protect the kingdom against overwhelming odds and his allies don’t all support his plans. When the king worries that he has a mad mage on his hands, things get really interesting.If you liked the first one, Mageborn, you’ll like this one too. Our hero takes on more challenges and settles into the power that woke in the first book of the series.
