About this listen

Martin and his friends discovered that their world is computer generated and that by altering the code, they could alter reality. They traveled back in time to Medieval England to live as wizards. Almost everything they've done since then has, in one way or another, blown up in their faces.

So of course they decide to make dragons. It does not go well.

As the wizards struggle to control their creations and protect innocent citizens, they try new things (most of which they don't enjoy), meet new people (most of who are angry at them), and fight epic battles (most of which they lose).

But their biggest challenge may be a young girl who knows that the wizards created the dragons and is determined to make them pay. On her side she has powerful allies, a magical artifact, and a faithful if not particularly helpful dog.

Fight and Flight is a rollicking tale of bravery, wonder, love, revenge, greed, discovery, deception, and animal husbandry.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

where are all the past characters from the last 3 books? The story line was built up loads and could go in loads of ways but it all just stopped. The time line made no sense? how long after the events of Todd did this book happen?

For me it just seemed really out of place, like a short story that was rushed to fill a gap.

Has Fight and Flight put you off other books in this genre?

I am bu no means put off this genre or the Magic series, i was just disappointed by this story.

What does Luke Daniels bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Everything, he makes this book what it is.

Was Fight and Flight worth the listening time?

I have to say no. I was very annoyed this was 3 times the amount of the past books and they were FAR better. this story just seemed very out of place.

Any additional comments?

I love the magic 2.0 series. the idea of the world being a simulation that only a few people have found out about is great. there are so many things that could have happened in this book to follow on from the past.

The book felt like it should have been 2/3 chapters and then the story with todd/jimmy was going to continue with other people from book 2 or something like that. Maybe this is what is going to happen but I did just feel odd.

The best part was the last paragraph... Brit and Brit... need i say more?

Great to be back with the gang again. The comedy is there but the adventure is not. It just surrounded on issue where previous books would have solved and moved on. It just felt like they had run out of ideas.

Enjoyable, but weakest book in series

Usual shenanigans and enjoyment - just don't don't go anywhere

The story was entertaining, but was quite a step down compared to the first three books, which I found were all very original and enjoyable.

As always, narration was excellent with unmistakably different voices used for every character. For the majority of the time, his English accents are quite good, especially Phillip’s (which is great, as he’s one of the main characters), although some phrases clearly said the American way in an English accent (obviously not the fault of the narrator), such as “why don’t you go do that”, instead of “why don’t you go and do that”. However, the Scottish accents were a bit shaky and I felt that attempts at a Welsh accent failed completely. The first Welsh person met sounded entirely English in fact, with the others only sounding vaguely Welsh (and Scottish/Irish at the same time??). Being English myself I found all of this hard to miss, although most Americans may find it all convincing enough.

The amount of times the author felt that he needed to recap on everything from the other books does become irritable and I zone out and lose interest slightly as I still remember it all from the previous books, although I realise it may have been a while that others may have read or listened to the series or this may even be the first book they’ve listened to.

All in all, as others have said, this book didn’t really bring anything new to the series, but I’m looking forward to using my next credit on book 5 and hoping it’s as refreshing as the first 3!

Not the best, but still entertaining

Just finished book four and it’s as good as the first three. Love the adventures of the wizards and can’t wait to see what is going to happen in the next instalment.

Throughly enjoyable
