Not a legend. Not a protector. Not even a sorcerer. Tarak was just fine with that until, in a single day, his whole world was taken from him.
Tarak is thrown into a strange city with just a few coppers in his pocket and the tainted shadow of his family following him. At least the ale is better, but famine and poverty make it a little hard to enjoy that. With no one to call his friend and almost no knowledge of sorcery, Tarak will have to compete with the best sorcerers if he wishes to remain free.
Tarak has done a pretty good job of avoiding what his single-minded father called his "destiny" for seventeen years, but now his identity is revealed, and it's drawing more attention than a tear through the rump of his pants.
It's looking like an uphill road, but there are some major bonuses. It turns out sorcery is not as complicated as his father made it seem, and not every sorcerer has to be as virtuous as the old dog.

Great book

Endless boring details about notes of magic. Does not contribute to story.

Honestly was hoping he'd get exiled or arrested to teach him to grow up and stop being lazy and uncaring for how his actions affect others. Like does he for once at all consider bedding the virgin princess might lead to war with her engaged and many peoples deaths when he finds her "sulllied" nope.
If the author was setting up the first boom to have the MC slowly grow and developed that would be one thing. But he doesnt by the end the MC is still as flippant as the start.
As for narration, mostly good but there were scenes with the males that I couldn't tell who was who talking. Micheal, Arthur and The MC sound a lot alike.
Bad MC baaad

Great start

The characters do things for unknown reasons. At one point one character says I can’t leave my post. A couple minutes later, he leaves his post. Wtf? Even then the scene is interrupted for something else.
I wanted to like it.
Not a good story

Good story pacing could be improved

The MC is an idiot that spouts a bunch of self righteous garbage, ignores reality, acts on any and every impulse he has, and walks right into every obvious setup just to get repeatedly humiliated and apparently secretly enjoys it because he just accepts it and spits out another stupid line to beg for more.
I would think the author was setting him up for some huge character development (more like complete reconstruction) except other reviewers have said there is no change at all. He’s still complete cringe by the end of the book.
Masochists may enjoy this story but everyone else I will warn away.
Unlikable MC
