About this listen

Mage Errant: Publisher's Pack contains books one and two of the Mage Errant series.

Into the Labyrinth, book one

Hugh of Emblin is, so far as he's concerned, the worst student that the Academy at Skyhold has ever seen. He can barely cast any spells at all, and those he does cast tend to fail explosively. If that wasn't bad enough, he's also managed to attract the ire of the most promising student of his year - who also happens to be the nephew of a king. Hugh has no friends, no talent, and definitely doesn't expect a mage to choose him as an apprentice at all during the upcoming Choosing.

When a very unusual mage does choose him as apprentice, however, his life starts to take a sharp turn for the better. Now all he has to worry about is the final test for the first years - being sent into the terrifying labyrinth below Skyhold.

Jewel of the Endless Erg, book two

After surviving Skyhold's deadly labyrinth, Hugh and his friends are looking forwards to an uneventful summer. Their teacher, Alustin, has chartered a sandship for a training expedition into the vast sea of sand known as the Endless Erg, aiming for the wealthy and powerful desert city of Theras Tel. Hugh's happier than he's been in a long, long time, and he's quite excited for the fresh air, sunshine, and quiet.

Of course, given Hugh's luck, their summer is going to be anything but quiet. They're about to be plunged into a morass of pirates, monsters, warring cults, flesh-tearing sandstorms, and a conspiracy against Indris Stormbreaker, the dragon queen of Theras Tel herself.

At least Hugh's going to get plenty of fresh air and sunshine.

need I say more? seriously, half the characters in the book (most of the adult ones) sound like someone doing an impression of David Attenborough.

for this book which is mostly about learning, that's great. since you know... its like a documentary... a documentary on magic and how to use it. you really feel like

the writing was great the author really crafted an entire system of magic that the reader learns with the students who are the main characters.

the narrator certainly has the right kind of voice for this. the female characters however almost always sound the same. understandable since the narrator is male. but something I noticed since I listened to this audiobook mostly in one sitting. I think Travis Baldree might have skewed my view on this. That man has a 1000 different voices.

Some characters sound like David Attenborough

Review on book 1-4. Its a pretty good coming of age fantasy. Good story, fun magic and creatures. The characters are fine. Its reads as for younger people but there is some more adult material. The book would be better to pick one. It talks about some previous relationships almost more that the actual relationships in details, which is the weirdness i was talking about. It also has a gay/bi element (very little of it) that just doesn't bring anything to the story. Feels like its the author making a statement, which I hate. But all in all, pretty good.

Pretty good
