About this listen

In a world of elves and dwarves and sprites and mages, Tane Carver is a human with no gift but his wits. Which, to be fair, did get him into the world's most prestigious university of magical technology.

For a while. Until his lack of magic was discovered. And then it all came crashing down.

But when a student is murdered on campus behind unbreakable wards, Tane gets a second chance. Solving an impossible crime should be easy for the man who fooled the university's best mages for years. Except he's not counting on the head constable being an old flame who isn't so fond of him anymore. Or on Kadka, the half-crazy half-orc who insists she's his partner - whether he likes it or not.

Not to mention the masked mage who keeps trying to kill him. Now, Tane's survival depends on the one truth that has never failed him. The flaw in all magic that those who have it prefer to ignore: the mage.

Outsmart the mage, and you outsmart the spell. And outsmarting mages is what Tane does best.

I thought I'd already reviewed this but I guess I forgot to. Anyway, I HIGHLY recommend this book, it's so much fun!

A great story that led me to listening almost continually. Beware of upsetting your partner/ children/ colleagues by not paying attention to them.

I'm looking forward to my next credit when I can continue the series.

Enjoyable twist to magical fantasy.

I only got this audio because I like the narrator Travis Baldree, having listened to quite a few books with him narrating.
To be honest it took a while to get into the story, however once the characters evolved and the storyline progressed, I found myself actually enjoying the book.
I listen at night to help me fall asleep and rewind to where I nodded off the next night. 😴
Worth a listen if you like fantasy and escaping everyday, in your mind at least.
