A scientist from another world. A mage seeking deadly knowledge. A power that could topple an empire.
Nathan's life was defined by labs and lectures until an Archmage yanked him into Davrar and made him a tantalizing offer: master magic in exchange for Earth's scientific secrets. Yet, Nathan can't shake off the feeling that darker truths lurk beneath such promises.
The world of Davrar is a dangerous place teeming with dungeons and monsters–ruled by levels, Talents, and a near-infinite progression of power. Nathan will need to rely on himself to survive, forging alliances and taking every advantage he can get against those that seek to control him.
His unique capacity to counteract magic gives him an unprecedented edge, making him a beacon of resistance against those who wield magic as a weapon of control.
Armed with intellect and an emerging power that could dismantle the very foundations of Davrar's society, Nathan emerges not as a mere student of magic, but as its ultimate adversary: the Antimage.

The overall story is great and I love the characters. Absolutely loved that the MC is bi and I think there was a hint that an important secondary character is trans!! It's annoyingly rare to see queer representation so that was awesome, would love to see more in the rest of the series! Also love that the MC is rational AND instantly hates the colonial slaver people. Can't wait for them to get destroyed in future books!
The performance was great, it's lovely to hear dialogue read with stage directions (actually laughing or coughing lines when the characters do). makes the story and characters feel more real. My only criticism is that his female voices weren't great, but there are a wealth of trans women who have made great resources for creating more accurate female voices. I see many "heat from fire"s in your future 😂

it only detracts from the story in a minor way.
decent story, decent performance 👍
there's a whole lot of shrugging going on

Narrated well and almost felt like a multi person dramatisation at times.
Great story

What to expect:
Sciency references as appropriate 5/5.
Mentions of math and chemistry and physics and physiology: 5/5. Not too much, but it comes up quite a few times.
Dialogue quality 3-4/5. Sometimes the sentences feel a bit stilted. It gets better. The author tried for authenticity and sometimes overshot.
Earnestness 5/5.
Character depth 4-5/5.
World building 4-5/5. It's unique and the inversion is mildly claustrophobic but don't squint too hard.
Lack of plot holes, 5ish/5. Don't squint too hard.
Science accuracy, 5ish/5.
High stakes 5/5, but besides hints throughout, you'll only get confirmation of the grand conflict in the last few sentences of this book.
Adventuring 3/5. There's quite a bit of training and social maneuvering. Very little fighting, which I approve of.
Voice acting 4/5. It's good and varied, but the tone sometimes doesn't match the context.
Main character being rational and logical 4-5/5. I have no complaints. He's not stupid and doesn't make egregious mistakes.
Plausible conflict 5ish/5. Things that go wrong are believable.
Magic: 0/5... Joking! There's plenty of magic, but not really from the main character himself. Kinda.
Good
