About this listen

Exiled from his family of traders in mystical goods and services on his 23rd birthday, the merchant magician must make his way in the world: meeting mermaids in San Francisco, Midwestern leprechauns, Icelandic dwarves and the girl of his dreams, who happens to be a cultist devoted to the rise of the great old ones who will consume the world in ash and fire when they awaken.

Blending real-world negotiation theory with a coming of age story in an urban fantasy setting, this book will appeal to fans of Jim Butcher, Charles de Lint, and Neil Gaiman.

I quite enjoyed the story, but couldn’t concentrate on it due to the poor performance by the narrator, who seemed to put a weird chuckle into every sentence he read to suggest lightheartedness and comedy. It was intensely annoying and I won’t be listening to anything else that this narrator has done. It’s a shame, as the story seemed quite entertaining.

This is a great story that stratals really and fantasy. My only challenge was the straight forward narrating, well timed and clear but no voice changes.

Unique fantasy novel
