Magic. Sailing. A murderer among heroes.
Gravedigger Volke Savan wants nothing more than to be like his hero, the legendary magical swashbuckler, Gregory Ruma. First he needs to become an arcanist, someone capable of wielding magic, which requires bonding with a mythical creature. And he’ll take anything - a pegasus, a griffin, a ravenous hydra - maybe even a leviathan, like Ruma.
So when Volke stumbles across a knightmare, a creature made of shadow and terror, he has no reservations. But the knightmare knows a terrible secret: Ruma is a murderer out to spread corrupted magic throughout their island nation. He’s already killed a population of phoenixes and he intends to kill even more.
In order to protect his home, his adopted sister, and the girl he admires from afar, Volke will need to confront his hero, the Master Arcanist Gregory Ruma.
A fast-paced flintlock fantasy for those who enjoy How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell, Unsouled (Cradle Series) by Will Wight, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan.

The characters had good backstories and hinted at much more being revealed in future books in this series.
Brian Wiggins did a fantastic job narrating this book. He had a great range for both males and female characters (And magical creatures!) and did very well at making each one unique and come to life.
I typically won't hesitate at giving 4 out of 5 stars for a review but I felt like this book earned 5 out 5 across the board.
I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of the series and finding out what will happen next.

Nice job on narration by Brian Wiggins. He has a good pace. Some scenes, like fights or times of strong emotion could possibly have benefitted from a bit more drama/energy. However, this is certainly not a big issue. All-in-all, this was a nice listen that went quickly. Certainly recommended.

Good world building and cool magic system

The narration is... fine. Mostly. I'm used to much better narrators, but I'm annoyed that I've gotten so picky. I don't think I would have had a problem a few years ago. That said, the audio effects are amateurish and distracting, and I actually started to wince at what he was doing to convey mental communication by the end of the book.
All of that said, the story and writing are basically good. Despite all the issues I was having, I wanted to finish the story. The magic system is interesting. I saw most of the plot twists coming from a million miles away, but the characters were interesting. I won't be getting the next book in the series because I don't like YA. But if you really do like YA, you will probably like this book.
Very YA
