About this listen
Contains some language/swearing.
Maglen, a hero of the Freedom Wars, was an amazing leader of warriors at a young age. The tolls of war tainted the man. After the wars, Maglen became a loner. He had become bitter, xenophobic, and very rude. Summoned by his emperor, he is encouraged to lead an extremely important expedition in search of the legendary continent of Olume. At first skeptical and reticent, Maglen argues against the perceived validity and value of the expedition..
The Mists of Olume includes two epic adventures wrapped into one story.
First, Maglen must meet the demand, at his emperor’s insistence, that he upgrade his capabilities in the realm of magic. He must accomplish this while he prepares the expedition for the odyssey. Once at sea, he must overcome the shipboard challenges while attempting to find Olume. These strain both his mental and physical capabilities.
Equally or perhaps even more importantly, Maglen must conquer the hurdles encountered in his efforts to eliminate his uglier faults. That quest has him fighting to surmount his shortcomings and recapture his purer motivations, optimism, and leadership skills from his past. Maglen has a love of blades and is a remarkable swordsman. His proclivity for blades proves, for the second time in his life, that he is a less-than-stellar student of the magical sciences.
So, grab your favorite beverage. Get comfortable. Join Maglen and his expedition as they take on this epic adventure in a forgotten place, in a forgotten time.

(Also, the narrator uses only two distinct voices, which might not be for everyone.)
An interesting story hindered by its delivery

This comes across like a jumbled plot outline for something better, with details written on index cards and shuffled... and then a few characters randomly mentioning them as they travel, at length.
Hopefully, things get better in the second book.
Very slow, could have been structured better

Geo Rogers, the author, is masterful at world crafting and blending unique characters into the narrative in a captivating manner. Rogers takes his listeners on the quest by way of an immersive writing style. His dialogue is authentic to the storyline and action while also moving the narrative forward at a solid clip. The relationship-building between the characters is masterfully done as well. One can almost feel the ship moving, see the demons, and feel the emotions and strain experienced by Maglen.
The narrator, Stephen William Hodd, cleverly brings each character to life, speaks clearly, and employs unique voices for each one. Hodd’s consistent and strong delivery, coupled with a deliberate cadence, ensures the narrative moves forward steadily and compellingly.
This is a captivating first book in a series! I cannot wait for more.
