I loved it before Alex Wyndham and I love it even more now that he is doing all of the books!

I have the original series with the previous narrator, but not before I listened to the embers of illinial trilogy with Alex Wyndham I was excited when I saw that Manning re-released his original series with Alex as the narrator! Really great series and wonderfully written and voiced. If any read this review and enjoyed the book listen to the rest including the prequel and sequel series also! You won’t be disappointed!

So happy they decided to create new audio narrative

Alex Wyndham is AMAZING! I love the Mageborn series but struggled to listen to the first bookmark because of narration. I started the series with Mordecai without knowing about the earlier books. So it was a great surprise to see them fixed. You won’t be disappointed! Listen to the series !

I loved it !

I just finished this book and I have to say I’m so glad I did ! I hadn’t ever heard of Michael Manning or any of his books until I stumbled upon “ Choice of Magic “ last year , I finished with that series , which I thought was wonderful , so I wanted to try another series of Mr Mannings :) I can definitely say I’m glad I did …. The first book in this Mageborn series , though a bit short , held my attention right from the start . The narrator was awesome as well , he did a wonderful job . On to the next one !

great book

I love both thus author and the narration of this book. What a great way to spend a day listening to a great book, when the weather is cold and your energy is sapped from being sick. I love an author who can wind a great story in with some fun banter and witty comments.

Good story

If you can get past the narrator. He's not bad, great with variations in characters, just, I couldn't get into it. He sounds like a 'high born' (to stay on point and because I can't think of a better description) telling a story. The way every sentence is said as a poignant statement.

Enchanting tale

As good as Michael G Manning’s other series: Art of the Adept
Fresh, clean, entertaining, full of moral values and humour.
Will read all the following books

All Round Brilliance!

Thrilling plots, lovable characters, and rapid pace. Unforgettably Brilliant! This series deserves the highest praise.

Short but catchy. Fun, easy listening.

I'll gladly wait for the later books to be narrated by Alex Wyndham. I hope he works on his female voices.

Good enough to pass the time

For starters. I don’t like that the book is so short other than that the story started off really well and caught my interest and kept my interest. Nothing too extraordinary with the magic system and the world building requires further development.

Love the book! But it was short.

The book was amazing and I am looking forward to the next books in the series! But I finished the book in two days and now have to wait a couple of days for another credit from my membership.
