Summary

A belligerent springtide!  

Being the most powerful wizard in the world can be a challenge....  

After defending his fledgling realm against the undead lord Gaja Katar all winter long, Count Minalan of the Magelaw faces a new threat in the spring: the Nemovort Shakathet, favored of Korbal, leading the mighty hordes out of the Penumbra. This time, Minalan faces a real strategist; one who drives his armies with purpose and efficiency. The road to war leads through Megelin Castle and the vulnerable lands to the south of Vanado. Old enemies will become allies, and old friends will become valuable assets.   

War, however, is not what is preoccupying Minalan; the knowledge of the end of the world is. As he broods on existential issues and debates with various goddesses and Alka Alon about Calidore’s fate, he must overcome his own fears and anxieties and impose order on the situation before everything goes into the chamber pot.  

The solution? Hire an Arcanist, a specialist in the obscure and trivial, to organize and investigate the many matters Minalan has to manage and bring them to order.

Yet another great addition to this growing series.

Well written as usual and excellent narration. Thoroughly enjoyable with a great new character. Roll on the next chapter in the Spellmonger saga.

Perfect

Lee's performance is excellent as per usual - and the contemplations and strategic ponderings of the Spellmonger really are incredibly entertaining.

Excellent

This is equally one of my favourite series of books on Audible. Terry's writing is first class and Mr Lee's performance is perfect.

Thanks to all involved who's names I don't know. I am sure it is a team effort to get these books to us to enjoy.

Best one yet. Bovinely magnificent

Where do I even start? The only bad thing about this book in my opinion was that it could have been longer. I’ve always thought the character writing in this series is magnificent, and it was this instalment that really proved that sentiment.

The pacing is awesome. The interplay between comedy, plot setting, world building and character interactions is sublime. I like how subtly the author provides hints at future events that leave you guessing but never takes the fun out of it even if you figure out the plot. For anyone considering whether to read this, stop such foolishness. You’re in for a “mooving” adventure! Make haste and delve in already,

a solid installment of a great series .

much less emotive than some previous books, I feel characters have been neglected a bit in favour of "getting through" another section of the overall plot.
but great to have more of the ”spellmonger” story, can't wait to see what happens next.
