About this listen
He’s not the hero they deserve, but he’s the hero they’ve got.
No, seriously. Talon wants to know what he did to deserve this. What would make a sentient rock decide that he of all people should be the one to save the world from zombies? That’s right. Zombies. Because apparently a higher power decided that teaching magic to teenagers wasn’t enough of a challenge.
With a ridiculously attractive healer (who may or may not hate him), his sister (who he miiiight have a forbidden telepathic link with), a sentient god-like rock (that can only communicate via yes/no vibes), a disdainful dragon, and a rude matchmaking horse by his side, he just might be able to save the world.
Or die trying.

the story felt original yet familiar in that cozy way fantasy tales can be, and managed to keep me guessing (for the most part) which is unusual for me. i was able to guess some plot points, but I was never completely sure of my guesses nor did it hinder any excitement I felt as the story went on. the main character's personal growth is where the author's talent really shined, as the MC wasn't particularly likeable at the start, but I still grew to love him as his harder edges where softened slowly but surely without having him transform into someone completely unrecognizable. in fact, the good parts of the MC where there at the beginning, just laid bare by the events and interactions that transpired throughout the story. I'll miss these characters greatly if this is the only book with their adventures, but I'm happy for the ability to listen to the story again when I miss them too much.
also. i may be biast as Michael Lesley is one of my all time favorite narrators, but I think he does a splendid job with this story. i think he has a talent for creating very distinct voices without making them (unless called for) silly.
if you're looking for a not too heavy (there is grief and fear, but it's manageable and won't leave you scarred for weeks like GoT or similar stories) but still quite serious epic fantasy adventure, I couldn't recommend it more!
just a delight
