Never trust a wizard, or a Sicilian when death ...

His voice, a melodious river that winds its way through the verdant landscapes of O'Toole's creation, enchants us with each uttered syllable. With every whisper of wind and incantation, Snyder conjures an auditory spell that leaves us willingly ensnared.

Within this tale, the ever-curious mage protagonist strides forth with all the determination of a cat chasing shadows. Deceptions unfurl like ethereal threads, weaving a tapestry so intricate that even a spider would marvel. Yet, dear reader, fret not! For our mage is no ordinary rube. They dance along the precipice of duplicity, attempting to untangle truth from lies in a symphony of mystery that would rival even the most enigmatic of riddles.

O'Toole's world-building is as mesmerizing as a siren's song, beckoning us to explore craggy mountains and moonlit forests, where magic drips like dew from each leaf. The cities hum with the pulse of arcane energies, and secrets lurk beneath every cobblestone. Indeed, it's a place where the very air seems to hum with possibility, and even the shadows possess secrets worth uncovering.

But oh, it is the characters who truly sparkle in this mystical narrative. O'Toole has bestowed upon them layers as rich as a royal tapestry, woven with threads of quirks and emotions that sing like a bard's lyre. With humor and a jaunty wink, our characters embark on quests of self-discovery and revelations, all while navigating a treacherous landscape where even trust can be a shifting illusion.

In "The Mage's Deception," Rich O'Toole does not merely cast a spell upon his readers; he binds them in a rapturous enchantment. The prose dances with the spirit of fantasy of old, imbuing the narrative with a vivacity that tickles the imagination and warms the heart. As the tale unfolds, it invites us to question not only the motives of the characters but the very nature of deception itself.

So, dear fellow wanderers of worlds unknown, take up your auditory staff and let Kyle Snyder's beguiling narration carry you to the realm of The Orzare Chronicles once more. For within the pages of "The Mage's Deception," adventure, artifice, and an ardent dash of audacious charm await, eager to beguile and bewitch even the most steadfast souls.

Hopefully 3rd is better.

This series is good. No complaints really besides the povs this time it was very annoying. I don't want to listen to a different person every chapter. Also the time is off, I don't know the days or anything, some times they'll show things back in time or in present time. It would help if it showed the day at the start of the chapter. Character progression was better but not that good.


The good things of this book are really the same. The world building is a little better, he didn't get much stronger. The Characters are cool. Narrators good. In conclusion this series us pretty good and like I said for the price this is a steal.👍

Good story and great narration
