About this listen

Legends speak of wizards with the power to rival Gods....

To Hump, it’s just a story. Apprenticed to a wandering wizard, he grew up on the road, following the coin on whatever quest it took them. He always believed his master was just an ordinary hedge wizard, until the old man suddenly died, and his book of spells bound to Hump’s soul.

Knowing no other life, Hump takes up his master’s staff and heads out alone into a world of dungeons and monsters. Scorned by the gods, wizards can trust only their own wit and skill to survive.

Lacking the godly gifts and grand ideals of the Chosen few, Hump fights for something else. If he wants to eat, he needs to work. And with a new Dungeon opening in Bledsbury, where better for a young hedge wizard to earn some coin?

So begins the path of The Wanderer. The White Flame. The Hedge Wizard.

Experience the start of a Progression Fantasy LitRPG Series about a working-class wizard out to forge his own path and prove that one does not have to be Chosen to do great deeds.

About the Series: Multiple magic systems, spells stolen from the gods, and an undefined path of progression, The Hedge Wizard brings a realism-focused spin to GameLit/LitRPG. Explore a world of long forgotten legends, where the Gods now reign and monsters roam.

I really liked the MC he is very is pragmatic. his sidekick is very Naive. they make a good combination the MC Curves his sidekicks naivete and the sidekicks makes the MC a better person by making him help people more. the LITRPG Aspect are Mainly brought up in the MC book as Classifications And tear rankings of his spells so you are not Beaten over the head with stats and levels every 10 words like other LITRPG books do. if you are in to filler in the from of Endless state check and level up Notifications. the MC also does not have endless Self reflection and contemplation so it not like other LITRPG in that respect. the story will thought out and satisfying.

Light LITRPG and Obvious bad guy

I disliked the extended dungeon battle. Book did not have enough adventures. Mainly it was a battle in the Duncan’s it was really prolonged. Other than that it was a well narrated book. The narrator Carrie’s the story for several chapters. The book has a good story it just needs more adventures and less character development and repetitive fighting in the next book. I’ll get the next on to see if it is better than the first.

Could have been better

A very solid fantasy series with a wonderful protagonist, well rounded and wonderfully flawed. The inciting incident works very well and gets the story off to a smooth start. Nothing overwhelmingly impressive. However, it’s a gorgeous and enjoyable ride.

I really enjoyed the characters and the pace of the action.

Slight spoilers

I really loved the premise of a nobody hedge wizard in a world way over his head and was worried they would get some sort of “secret past or super big rare power up” but was pleasantly surprised. While a power up did happen I feel as though it was down well and moderately so. I enjoyed the book thoroughly and will be continuing on with the series. I like the quipping characters, the magic system and the plot and world building so far.

Surprisingly Great.

The feeling as if I’m watching a movie seeing Humphrey produce and channel his magics. His progress and how far he’s come since the beginning thinking he was little more than some gutter wizard and the constant reminders from his passed master. The little reminders showing his actual age from humor to embarrassments it’s just such a lively book I can’t wait to start the next one and listening to their journey together again!

The overall story.

No game lit in it at all. Seems a bit slow at times. I believe it's a great start to a new series. it's got some great fantasy. The MC is a bit crotchety for a young man but I like it. Makes him have a world view of where he came from.

It's more progression fantasy.

Good but not Litrpg
