About this listen

Every year, the empire administers the rite of passage into adulthood. That rite serves to identify those blessed by Aether to become magi. The new magi are shipped to the academy to learn the arts of magic.

The academy is a dangerous place; the tournaments held twice each year can cripple or kill the students, and the clans of the empire will go to great lengths to recruit the students they want.

Gregory had one dream: to become a magi like the legends of old. Though he was ridiculed by the residents of the village and his unsupportive father, he never wavered from his dream. Would his age day bring the fruition of his dreams, or would reality come crashing down on him?

(This audiobook contains some adult themes.)

Gem

Amazing story, you have magic, cultivation and an academy setting. The world is vast and interesting, the clans are unique and powerful. The MCs are both underdogs with interesting abilities. I can wait for more.

It can be overly soppy at times but nonetheless it is an awesome book.

A grade-A performance of a grade-B story

This book reads like a snack, as opposed to a meal. It has enough substance to keep you going and coming back for more, but not so much depth you come back for a reread or think much about it outside of listening.

I want to praise Parsneau's narration, which really carried the story. Her voices and line delivery really sold the characters and set the tone of the various scenes. Excellent work!

The plot of the book isn't complicated, which makes it easy to follow the story. The world and it's inhabitants are well rendered, though the characters feel very two-dimensional.

Both the plot and characters come across as predictable, but it's more of a comfortable predictability. If you're looking for high stakes, plot-twists, and characters who fail and struggle to reach their goal, this is not the book for you.

If on the other hand, you are looking for a comfortable listen to straightforward success story, then give this book a chance!
