    About this audiobook

    Rejected by all, Mordecai must learn to master the darkness within if he is to stop Mal'goroth from destroying humanity. Alone, he battles to control the malevolent magic that has consumed him as he searches for some way to turn his destructive new powers against the Dark Gods themselves. To win, he must somehow transform his own damnation into mankind's salvation.

      It's hard to get the story right on this kind of book. A young man who suddenly finds himself in possession of powers. Michael G. Manning has done a great job of bringing humor and humanity to the characters while keeping the villains nice and evil.
    • 5/5
      Loved it!!! I loved that the author included a witty sense of humor, even addressing the reader at some points. This was a well done first novel. I normally only read at night, but I was so engrossed into this story, that I read all day yesterday and today. Finishing it in less than 24 hours. Eagerly looking forward to the next book in the series.
    • 5/5
      Just a fantastic read, glad there will be more for a series. Congrats to the author for his first book!! Sitting on the edge for the next one!
    • 3/5
      A bizarrely short book. From the description you expect some high fantasy coming of age story but the entire book doesn't even cover 2 weeks. Mort learns magic at a speed you could only expect in a really soft setting, everything falls into place with no effort required at all. None of this is particularly bad per se but it does leave me thinking this book is nothing more that a grand prelude to the rest of the series. Excluding the final chapter when the comically evil lord finally ends the book with something of a bang the rest of the book feels like it should have been a couple of chapters at the start of a story rather than the entire book. I don't mind terribly since I can go straight into the sequels but whomever read this when it was the only book in the series must have been fuming when they were done.Overall I like what I've read but everything just comes to easy to Mort who is too perfect other than his typical cluelessness about the fairer sex. Not that it matters since Penny is immediately completely in love with him and everything is perfect. The book demonstrates potential for the rest of the series but still isn't quite what I feel it could have been which is why it gets 3 instead of 4 stars.
    • 2/5
      A decent premise, but a number of issues kept popping me out of the experience, such as the frequent shifts between first and third person and the liberal use of modern speech idioms.

      Story-wise, Mort overcame his problems far too easily. In fact, so many characters were willing to set the period social conventions aside on his behalf that Mort never faced any serious cultural obstacles, which is the dramatic kernel that gives the "stable boy to wizard" story its soul.
