Publisher's summary
Young wizards coming of age in a time of war.... Will they be ready?
Eynon was excited to leave his village and set off on his wander year. He’d turned 16 today, and hoped for at least a few adventures.
At high noon, he arrived a crossroads and saw a shimmer of silver in the mud. It was a thin and dirty oval, about the size of his palm. He washed it with squirts of water from his goatskin, then marveled at what was revealed.
It was a silver amulet, worked with complex, interlaced designs. An oval blue gem more than an inch across, with deep facets, was set in its center. The silver danced with reflected sunlight and the gem seemed to be filled with sparks. It was the most beautifully crafted thing he’d ever seen.
Eynon noticed strange writing on the back of the amulet. As he raised it to eye level for closer inspection, one of his fingers inadvertently pressed a small stud on the edge. A tremendous blast of blue fire shot out from the gem on the opposite side, striking an ancient leafless oak and turning it into a flaming torch.
Someone behind him whistled. Eynon dropped the amulet, afraid of what else it might do, and turned to see an old farmer, leaning on a shovel.
“Well, young man,” said the farmer. “It looks like you’re going to need a wizard.”

Story
Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

The Academy of Chaenbalu has stood against magic for centuries. Hidden from the world, acting from the shadows, it trains its students to detect and retrieve magic artifacts, which it jealously guards from the misuse of others. Because magic is dangerous: Something that heals can also harm, and a power that aids one person may destroy another. Of the academy’s many students, only the most skilled can become Avatars - warrior thieves, capable of infiltrating the most heavily guarded vaults - and only the most determined can be trusted to resist the lure of magic.

Hot on the heels of Gardner Dozois's acclaimed anthology The Book of Swords comes this companion volume devoted to magic. How could it be otherwise? For every Frodo, there is a Gandalf... and a Saruman. For every Dorothy, a Glinda... and a Wicked Witch of the West. What would Harry Potter be without Albus Dumbledore... and Severus Snape? Figures of wisdom and power, possessing arcane, often forbidden knowledge, wizards and sorcerers are shaped - or misshaped - by the potent magic they seek to wield.

Excellent book, except it ended in...
I would have given this book an overall five star rating if it and ended in a cliffhanger like it. The book is very well written and performed admirably by the narrator I think you could not ask for anything more and a fantasy novel. I hated to only give it four stars for the story because the story is very very entertaining.

Good Story Interrupted by Untimely Book Ending
This story is engaging with believable characters. The biggest problem I have with it is the ending being so abrupt. It is rare that I find an ending so infuriating. The author might as well ended with, "stay tuned for our next thrilling adventure... "

A slow and interesting take on magic,
A well made book; however the love story wasn't all that great. Characters are fun and bright if a bit mary sue ish at times. The book really kicks off when the two children are learning magic and the dialogue oddly has a habit of repeating itself at times.
That being said this book sports a beautiful unique magic system that I've never seen before, that way it allows you to visualize the magic is also beautiful in its simplicity. Overall a simple and easy listen more for adults than children

Gets better as it goes
The narration is very good, although the animal vocalization can get annoying, and the young protagonists are sometimes too breathless in their wonder. The story starts slowly with the laying of the foundation in an overly simplistic way. But the tale is good and improves as it progresses.

This book had potential...chi chi chi killed it!!
Well I really liked this book. I was really starting to get into it. when a secondary character came into the story. This is were I I can only imagine the author fell and hit his head. drank some unknown fluid that killed half his brain cells or somthing else catastrophic happened to him! Chi killed the potential of this book. I don't want to ruin it for you. The first time you hear Chi talk you will know why!

A fun read, however...
I enjoyed the light, whimsical story with humor, especially since several stories I have recently read were 'doom and gloom'! Bummer! However, there were a few points to the story that I didn't like, consequently, I marked down the number of stars given.
Unfortunately, the author added a sexual component that added nothing to the story and was not appreciated by me. One lead character (Eynon), out on his 16th birthday for his 'wander year' (similar to the Amish and other groups), met a young girl (Mary, a precocious girl) who was 15 years old. Within a week, the girl seduced the clueless boy, and sex ensued. While I agree this happens in real life, all too often, it added nothing to the story, purely gratuitous sex!
Another weakness in the story is where Eynon has learned magic, uses it for practical purposes but fails to use it in an offensive way when confronted with danger. This was more evident in the second book.
And finally, the book ended with a cliff-hanger, which I really don't like. It makes it more like a 'soap-opera'!

I liked it
I found some situations to be hard to accept and a bit to young adult except for the sexual references but it was a positive story and I kept listening when normally I would have put it down so. I liked it.
