About this listen

The Spellmonger in exile!

When Minalan the Spellmonger was exiled from his beloved mageland of Sevendor by Prince Tavard, his friend Duke Anguin made him Count Palatine of the Magelaw, a vast realm in the Alshari Wilderlands that Minalan is all too familiar with. After the goblin invasion, the province is devastated, ruined, and peopled almost only by freed slaves. But Minalan has brought his recovering wife and family into exile with him, and he views their impoverished fief as an opportunity to build a new City of Magi in the wilderness.

To assist, he recruits some of his closest friends among the High Magi: Mavone, the military intelligence specialist; Sandoval, the Marshal in charge of recruiting Minalan’s army; Carmella, whose genius for defensive magics will be key; Gareth, whose ambition to create knows no bounds; and Terleman, perhaps the greatest tactical warmage of his time.

Together, Minalan knows that they can build his new city, Vanador, into an anvil that can blunt the thrust of the dark forces that rise against them. For the first of three Nemovorti have come to the Penumbra, and Gaja Katar has vowed to wipe humanity from the face of the world. Yet he is far from the worst of Minalan’s worries. For the powerful Sea Folk have sent an emissary to see the Spellmonger, and the news he bears will change the fate of all.

Minalan’s only hope is to rely on his cunning, and his ability as a Thaumaturge!

Great book, slow start.

as usual the there's heaps of description, I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, as other reviews have mentioned the first 1/3rd was pretty slow to start.

Felt more like a reference book than a story box sometimes

I have really enjoyed all of the Soellmonger series of books, this one however has a different feel to it, a lot of the time it rambled on about harvest yields and other things which felt less story and more spreadsheet. Overall I did enjoy the book greatly, but maybe it was padded out too much and there was nowhere near enough drama and tension, at no point did I ever feel like any,of the main characters were in any type of danger.

Another great addition of the Spellmonger

I was a bit worried by z few of the negative reviews I read before beginning Thaumaturge but I am very happy to report my worries were unfounded and I believe the negative reviews to be unfair and misleading.
There is a lot of world building in this book which if I had read it may have been hard going but as a listener it was great to hear the building of the kingdom and the story of the city unfold. The book builds on great characters, introduces new ones and has enough intrigue, humour and battles to keep you interested if the building of one of the best realised fantasy cities isnt enough. I listened to the last half of this book while completing a long drive through Europe and it kept me going. I can't wait for the next book.
