About this listen

Beware, oh friend, the Nothing Mage,

The man himself a blight,

With magic cursed and spells unseen,

That none can stand and fight.

Beware, oh King, the Nothing Mage,

A force that pierces all,

The tolling bell that sings of death,

‘Till lords and empires fall.

Beware, oh love, the Nothing Mage,

A vengeful man is he,

So if you dare to draw his wrath,

Then nothing ye shall be.

"There’s nothing there." The words may as well have been a death sentence to young Declan. Without mana, there could be no studying at the sky-piercing Pinnacle Towers, there could be no great monster hunts, and there could be no following in his father’s legendary footsteps.

He’d be a cripple.

But when a terrible accident forces him to flee, Declan learns the true nature of his mana. Just because it doesn’t resonate at any known frequency doesn’t mean it isn’t magic. Just because he can’t cast the same spells as everyone else doesn’t mean he isn’t a mage. And just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

Really enjobable listen, and I will be re-listening to them, again; at some point.
I gave it a 4 star overall. Great and good points first. Well written and good progression in the stories. I loved the use of music and verses throughout, but not over used. A great system of magic while not being over explained. Aspects of the books leave unexplained mysteries, and I liked that. My one grip, is the negative emotional spirals. At points, it reached soap opera levels, and that's irked me. When considering how well tv soap operas do in the U.K.; think I am in the minority for that. It didn't play or grip my emotions much. 4 Stars
