Aether's Apprentices

De: Daniel Schinhofen

Narrado por: Andrea Parsneau

Gregory was beyond happy when his second year in the Magi Academy began. Now married to both Yukiko and Jenn, Gregory had more love than he ever thought he’d find. It was also a time for friends. Daciana and Nessa, their novice friends, found another in Victoria, who also quickly became close with Gregory and his wives.

Gregory found still more friends in Clover and Ling, two clanless apprentices who shared his tactics subgroup. The eurtik-blooded magi were earnest and eager to learn, so they were quickly taken under the Aether’s Guard apprentices’ wings.

With so many friends around him, Gregory felt the year was bright. The hatred of the Eternal Flame still pressed down on them—although the clan seemed strangely quiet during the first half of the year, the threat of violence was still there.

The friends trained hard to fight as a unit, intent on being the champions to raise the clan’s name and reputation. The first tournament of the year came quickly, with a few surprises. The biggest was because of the merchant, Carlisle, belittling eurtiks. Hao Warlin suckered him into a bet that grew and grew until the merchant lost a massive amount of money. Hao took it gladly, using it to purchase gifts for Daciana, Nessa, and Victoria. Those items allowed the three novices to not only survive the remainder of the tournament, but also to emerge as the victors.

Gregory and his wives fought honorably and hard to advance to the finals, where their last fight was against the Eternal Flame. With their rigorous training and communication, they managed to defeat the arrogant clan, letting them stand alongside their novice friends as champions.

The excitement of being the champions wasn’t the happiest part of their year, though. That came after the tournament, when all five of their friends—Nessa, Daciana, Victoria, Clover, and Ling—joined Aether’s Guard.

The apprentices weren’t done yet, as they had other major events ahead of them. The tournament for their tactics class was first and, beyond that, the tournament against Buldoun.

Yes.

Not sure why I loved listening to fantasy characters playing a boardgame, but I loved the entire book.

great series

I think this is a wonderful ,easy listening , well written book and series with excellent narration. I was confused at a couple negative reviews. if you liked any other book by this author or narrator you will love this one.
I am anxiously awaiting the next one. this story is very captivating. I like this authors indepth explanation of characters and situations. I listen to audio books to be entertained not to think alot about plot twists and guessing what the meaning was.

disappointing

Nothing significant happened in this book I kept hoping till the, but ultimately it was mainly about playing a board game with some harem comedy thrown in. the few important details we learned in this book could have been condensed into 6 chapters and put at the beginning of the next. , I loved the first 3 books in this series, because there was action, adventure, and significant character development.

Cant wait for the next instalment

A great book. I like the new characters and the development. Andrea does an amazing job of narrating.

what you expect

this is as great as the ones before it...
so get to listening already

Immature

Despite 4 books of s*x and suggestions, the MC is still as awkward as a preteen. Holding hands? Blushes. Kissing? Blushes. Talks about years down the road he’ll be with someone? Blushes. I get it that the author doesn’t want the MC to just be a playboy but come on. A little adulting growth can be done.

Still going strong

This series is going on strong so far I was at work when the orphanage came up made me tear up great emotions that Andrea can inflect

More Please

The story continues and is worth the listen. The narration was fantastic, story was good and I want more. I think I just finished the last audible book so I’m hoping the others come out soon.

Great series. Awsome pacing.

Loved the main character. Greater reader performances. Looking forward to the sequels and the further shenanigans.

loved it <3

the bloopers had me rolling , the story was excellent and I want the next one in the series
