Mystic is the start of an enchanting new epic fantasy series from Jason Denzel, the founder of Dragonmount.
I called to the Myst, and it sent us you. For hundreds of years, high-born nobles have competed for the chance to learn of the Myst. Powerful, revered, and often reclusive, Mystics have the unique ability to summon and manipulate the Myst: the underlying energy that lives at the heart of the universe. Once in a very great while, they take an apprentice, always from the most privileged sects of society. Such has always been the tradition - until a new High Mystic takes her seat and chooses Pomella AnDone, a restless, low-born teenager, as a candidate.
Commoners have never been welcomed among the select few given the opportunity to rise beyond even the highest nobility. So when Pomella chooses to accept the summons and journey to Kelt Apar, she knows that she will have more to contend with than the competition for the apprenticeship. Breaking both law and tradition, Pomella undergoes three trials against the other candidates to prove her worthiness. As the trials unfold, Pomella navigates a deadly world of intolerance and betrayal, unaware that ruthless conspirators intend to make her suffer for having the audacity to seek to unravel the secrets of the Myst.

AbsolutelyAny additional comments?
The characters were appealing and well developed. The narrator was excellent. The story moved along at a good pace and the ending was unexpected. All in all, an enjoyable audio book.Excellent debut novel

The narrator is capable of a number of "voices", but again I didn't feel the emotion that might have otherwise allowed for a spectacular preformance. I felt that this was more like someone reading thier lines with different voices rather than some one preforming multiple parts. Even a poor story can be made into something more if it is preformed in a way that captivates the audience.
While this may seem like harsh criticism, it is intended as honset constructive feedback. It is very difficult to be at the top of one's for the length of time required to produce something like this. It is a something that might be enjoyed while satisfying a "light" or "feel good" craving.
Decent but somewhat less than Stellar.

I might have to wait for a moment, before downloading, because there are still tears in my eyes.
It's enough to say that I love the book. I love the emotion that it brought. And I can't wait to listen to the next one.
It was superb

The narrator forces me to realize a few pre-conceptions I have purely from hearing someone speak. She can really give life to my idea of a spoilt child with visions of grandour. And I'm likely to avoid her as a narrator in the future.
do note however, that during no part of this story did I have trouble hearing what she said, the different voices might not have been to my taste, but she certainly differantiates.
so, an author of some skills I don't particulary care for and a narrator I don't enjoy listening to. I'm not going to recommend it to anyone, but I'm sure it'll suit someone else a lot more.
Not my cup of tea.
