Summary

After getting punched in the face by a golem, Jason discovers he desperately needs two things: A much better offense and a much better defense.

To a hammer, everything looks like a nail, and to a mage, everything is solved with magic. That is, unless your magic is small and restricted like Jason’s. Since he can’t use charms, create shields, or throw fireballs, he needs to find a different way to win battles.

Fortunately, Tyler is back, and as a Natural, he is ready to teach Jason the Way of the Fist. Among other things. (Nudge nudge, wink wink).

And he’ll need all the help he can get, because with Isobel gone, the Louisville Mages are in disarray. That should have been the end of the threat to Jason, his friends, and the House. But she left behind a terrible legacy, and now there is a battle royale for power.

As the last person standing, Jason must find a way to defend the House and get his friends back on their feet. If he can’t do it with magic, then he’ll have to do it as a fighter. He will have to become the Melee Mage.

A well written story with and interesting  concept.  The characters are likeable and the narration is very good.

Not as good as book one, but interested to hear book 3

The story has its positive aspects and builds on the first book, done characters take a back seat and seems lacking at time. Parts missing overall seem like padding to get to another book and has lots of repetition which is okay but doesn’t always move the story along. The ‘British’ accent in places is the annoying, fake American’s imagination’s version (though I’ve heard worse), I’m keen to see where the story goes next so going to give that one a chance as I loved the first book but feel this lost it’s way a little , though I did listen to the whole thing over 2 days.

Long-winded with no real plot

Very slow, repetitive, dull with a very dreary plot. Hard to get into and boring
