Love the Ethshar series, and this was a delight as always. Didn't enjoy the narrator of this one quite as much as the one in "Misenchanted Sword", though he began to grow on me about halfway through.

Another great fantasy

Much better reader than the first book. This is an interesting and attention holding tale suitable for all ages. I thoroughly enjoyed it and intend on reading the next in the series.

It's a little too light for me. It is clever and well written. The protagonist is likeable. I don't really understand or like poligamy,that only comes in at the end. I don't think the writer really understands it either.

light airy story. not to be taken seriously.

I read the misenchanted sword years ago and I stumbled on to this recently. It's thoroughly entertaining. Almost felt like "The Hobbit" at parts because it just goes on so many rambling adventures all at once. Each arc of the story was very entertaining.

Entertaining as hell!

The story is complete but there were endnotes in the paperback which are missing in the audiobook. The endnotes had additional information about the story such as what had been on the smudged page, the fate of the spriggans, the dragon and a few other items.

Good story but missing end notes.

This book was a terrible eye roll of a stereotypical male power fantasy, no thank you

Skip

The print edition contains an epilogue wherein Tobas consults a Theurgist and gets answers to a few plot points and bits of lore, such as exactly why and how Darvan's ship was lost. This is missing, and it makes me sad.

Missing a bit from Audible Edition

Much of the first half of this book drags as it tries to move the main character somewhere but never really gets to anything worth while. An interesting premise of a wizard that has but a single spell flounders as the main character spends to long lamenting his circumstances than trying anything interesting or novel within his limits.

Long build up for little pay off
