About this listen

Gabriel's dreams always come true. Then he dreams of drowning. That is when his adventure through time begins.

Plucked from the timeline of history at the moment of his death, 13-year-old Gabriel Salvador awakens in a castle millions of years in the past. Saved because of his ability to sense the flow of time, he mourns the loss of the family who thinks he is dead as he trains to become an apprentice time mage.

When a mission to stop the creation of an alternate reality fails, Gabriel is revealed as the Seventh True Mage, able to use all six forms of magic. Soon, he is hunted by three dark mages who hope to use him to rule the whole of the Primary Continuum.

From the Aztec temples of 1487 to Scotland in the Middle Ages and the battlefields of Alexander the Great, Gabriel struggles to adapt to his terrifying new life and master the different magics. Can he fulfill the responsibility of being the Seventh True Mage as he joins the battle to protect the timeline of history?

Virtual voice is awful!

Virtual voice is awful! There is no emotion. I would rather read the book myself. At least in my head I can pretend what the characters sound like. Who knows if the book was any good.

I liked the characters very much

It’s a nice story with twists and turns and I feel good ending and a lot of history in the making.

I wanted to like it.

I wanted to like this book. I managed to listed to the first few chapters and I like the story but the AI voice is horrible. It's so flat and devoid of any emotion. There is actually some voice infections sprinkled in which I appreciated but it didn't last. I tried, glad it was free.

AI Ruined a Decent Story

While the virtual voice sounded human, it was sing-songy to the point of being irritating. Inflection was often weird. I do not want to listen to more books narrated this way.

AI needs more work

Did not like the AI story telling. It was hard to tell who was talking. some phrases were not voiced properly. sometimes it was hard to follow. Much rather listen to a person read it. It was much lake having a male Alexa read it, just not as bad.

Thought provoking story-spoiled by virtual voice

I enjoyed the story and ideas on magic and time travel. I would have loved a live narrator to really bring it to life! Not surprisingly, virtual voice narrator lacked inflections, change of tone, and emotion. Too bad, with the right narrator I would have given it 5 all around!

Couldn’t stomach it

Listening to the book via computer generated voice just wasn’t for me. It contributed to my not being able to get into the story.
