A high school student named Steve is pulled across the veil separating the worlds of Earth and Mithal in the hope he is the legendary Third Power. His coming foretold by prophecy, he is believed to possess a unique magic that can heal the supernatural sickness ravaging the land and combat the Second Power, a sorcerer who channels the might of Hell itself.

A really enjoyable story
Reviewed: 01-09-21
I was really surprised how much I enjoyed this story. It perfectly follows an old saying in the movie industry “Give me the same thing, but different” Third Power has many of the items I love in fantasy novels: interesting world, compelling characters, good versus evil fights, etc. But it has its own unique take while playing on the tropes that I would normally expect.
I thought the narrator kept it engaging, not falling into the trap of being too monotone that I hear in other books. Also enjoyed some of his character work with the voices to make them stand out.
I think my only critique was in the character names of Scott and Steve. A couple times I mixed them up in my head. This probably isn’t as much an issue with the actual words but only when listening to the audio.
I received this as a review copy, but I will be purchasing the sequel when it becomes available.
