I just finished listening to this book set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by monsters, and I was completely captivated from start to finish. The non-stop action and fast-paced storyline had me on the edge of my seat throughout. What sets this book apart is its unique magic system where the protagonist ingests mana stones to unlock incredible powers. It adds a layer of complexity and excitement to the story. The author's descriptive narration combined with the talented narrator made the whole experience even more immersive. If you love action-packed adventures in a post-apocalyptic setting with a fresh take on magic, this audio book is an absolute must-listen. I can't wait for the sequel!

What did you love best about The Republic of Thieves?

The book is cleverly written and cleverly done. I really enjoyed the flashbacks that shed light on some of the decisions the characters make.

Any additional comments?

It may take Scott a lot of time to complete his books, but they are defiantly worth the wait.

Would you consider the audio edition of Hard Magic to be better than the print version?

Absolutely, this is one of the best narrated audiobooks I've ever listened to. His accents bring all the characters to life.

What other book might you compare Hard Magic to and why?

Joe Abercrombie's First Law series comes to mind. The lead character Jake Sullivan reminds me of 'The Blood Nine".

Any additional comments?

I love this type of epic fantasy series. Reminded me a lot of the Wheel of Time series but condensed.

Would you try another book from David Farland and/or Ray Porter?

I will pass on any further Farland books. I consider myself an individualist and much of the first 3 Runelords books centered around sacrificing the self for the greater good of the collective. The whole magic system is built around this premise. That being said, the book was still well written and entertaining in many parts.
Ray Porter is a great narrator. No complaints.
