About this listen

After concluding their first year at Lorian Heights, Corin and his friends catch a train from their native Valia to the distant country of Caelford.

For most, this would be a simple vacation. Corin has other plans:

  • Meet Anabelle Farren, the eccentric owner of Farren Labs, and learn about artificial attunements.
  • Seek out Warren Constantine, a previous Arbiter, for training and a potential alliance.
  • Find the visage Ferras herself to seek a cure for Sera's condition.

Of course, Corin is Corin, and there's absolutely no chance he's going to be able to stick to a list. Even if he miraculously developed a sense of focus, he isn't the only one with plans....

The Blackstone Bandit. Everyone's favorite mysterious book entity. The aforementioned Farren. A vacationing professor. The mirror of a figure from Keras' past. When their plots intersect, Corin and his friends are, predictably, stuck at the center.

It's going to be a long vacation.

another great book and performance

at the beginning the voices seem a bit off but the narrator quickly gets back into the groove of the characters

Hooked!

Another fantastic installment to the series, Andrew Row has left me once again wanting more of the story and Nick Phodel is a master storyteller; it is so easy to listen to and thoroughly enjoyable.

Can't wait for the continuation of the story

As per usual, the book was a breeze to go trough. Stakes get higher, and characters keep developing. A very fun and interesting listen.
Nick Podehl continues to be an amazing narrator as always.

Excellent!

I've been following Rowes books for a while now and I've listened to them all multiple times but Arcane Ascension is by far my favourite and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book!

Continues to be my favourite book series

It's a great in between story and while it might not be satisfactory for every one it continues to expand the amazing world building and be able to be both funny and serious and the appropriate time. Can't wait for the next one

A great continuation with new flavours

As the third in an ongoing series TIS had a lot to live up to. I'm glad to say it scratches the itch and hit the mark in that regard

The shake up to the 'magic school' formula is fantastic and fills out the world more because of it. Fans of the series may be left with questions but these feel exciting rather than frustrating, setting the bar for the next installment even higher

great progression fantasy, with the game aspects turned down a little this time! best read so far this year!
