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.”

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
A slow and interesting take on magic,

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'!
A fun read, however...
