About this listen

Koren Bladewell now knows he is a wizard, but he is lost in the wilderness, cut off from help, and unable to use his powers. The enemy is poised at the border with an overwhelming invasion force, and it will take wizards, soldiers and a young, untested princess to hold off defeat long enough for Koren to be trained and grow into his power. But he might not wish to help those who deceived him and destroyed his life.

Read all three, after reading the first book I was compelled to read all of them, the narrator brought the story to life, a story so very imaginative and well laid out, i couldn’t put any of them down once I started reading them,

Compelling

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to these books. Finished all in less than a month. Love the narrator who did an excellent job again as he has in his other narrations. He was part of the reason I purchased this book. The end was a bit anti climatic as i dread from another review but that little tidbit at the end got me so excited, wondering if another book will come our way. Quite entertaining and absorbing. Thank you to the author and narrator. Mission accomplished! :)

Did not want to stop listening

By the time I got to this book I was dying to listen to it. I loved how the characters had developed and interlinked into the story overall. Cleverly written (not that I’m an expert) and never a moment of feeling “oh come on, hurry up” A thoroughly enjoyable listen.

Loved it!
