About this listen

Augum, Bridget, and Leera want only to study new spells and make their legendary mentor proud. But when she unexpectedly departs on a crucial quest, they run afoul of a devious old witch and are forced to make a hasty getaway - straight into the hands of a notorious maniac known as the Blade of Sorrows.

Prisoners of the Blade and his sadistic apprentice, the trio must face its greatest challenge yet: escape using nothing but an ancient spell with some nasty side effects. But more than their lives are at stake, for an entire kingdom's hopes rest with their mentor - and she's heading for a deadly trap.

The heroes have so many problems but continue valiantly aided by friends who sacrifice themselves so that they may continue toward a better world.
I am considering whether I want to read the next book.

A strugle to finish

I feel the MC augm is naive yet in a childlike way his interaction with blatantly evil characters baffles me as I hope in the future more of his witty problem solving comes to alleviate his “lose all the time” luck.
The side characters leera and Bridget are well balanced but the focus on who of the trio likes what person distracted me from why I would care. As the people they have shown as extras up to now have been just terrible, and honestly showcase their in-adeptness at discerning good people from bad. It makes sense this trio would constantly fumble things on their own though they hardly do.
As for the world, I felt it lacked depth, I almost completely don’t understand the layout of the world or it’s occupants, is it a island, a large continent, does the realm have many kingdoms beside the few here-and-there’s of tiberra and what other lands they’ve mention, what races are there really, do humans have separate ethnicities/culture. I feel as though it’s all flavor this story lacks

Despite the lengthy review I really enjoy the story and plan on reading all books including the Extension books.

As for the reader Stefan Rudnicki his accent for “aunty Erica” bled through for a few hours after the encounter. This affected the reading very little but I felt it was worth mentioning as it somewhat flops continuity

To this point in the series’s

long torture sessions that under any circumstances should have killed our heroes. This strains credibility and broke my immersion in the book. Pulled me right out. Otherwise an engaging entertaining listen. I'm unsure if i will continue to listen to the series. Pretty sure there's more graphic violence and torture ahead.

too much torture

excellent bk but pretty violent & callous. I care about the characters, story is never lagging. i just have to get used to the callousness, but I'm getting the next one so that says a lot about the story.

clean language, interesting story, pretty violent, interesting world, I plan on checking out the next book and can see myself possibly listening to this again.

Enjoyable story

Not as much action in this one as the first. Characters are learning but progress is slow but they fight through some tough times and grow emotionally and mentally. Some comments about the torture scenes but they aren’t long and it shows you who and what they are up against. Not a warm fuzzies book especially at the end

Slow at first
