Dragon Mage

Rivenworld, Book 1

By: ML Spencer

Narrated by: Ben Farrow

Aram Raythe has the power to challenge the gods. He just doesn't know it yet.

Aram thinks he’s nothing but a misfit from a small fishing village in a dark corner of the world. As far as Aram knows, he has nothing, with hardly a possession to his name other than a desire to make friends and be accepted by those around him, which is something he’s never known. But Aram is more.

Much, much more.

Unknown to him, Aram bears within him a gift so old and rare that many people would kill him for it, and there are others who would twist him to use for their own sinister purposes. These magics are so potent that Aram earns a place at an academy for warrior mages training to earn for themselves the greatest place of honor among the armies of men: dragon riders.

Aram will have to fight for respect by becoming not just a dragon rider, but a Champion, the caliber of mage that hasn’t existed in the world for hundreds of years. And the land needs a Champion. Because when a dark god out of ancient myth arises to threaten the world of magic, it is Aram the world will turn to in its hour of need.

Must Read!

It’s hard to find books this good that I haven’t already read/listened to, this is a great one!

3.75 stars

It read like a classic fantasy about a neurodivergent boy. Barring a few moments in the beginning, plot and happenings were predictable but fun. Do not feel strongly about reading the next installment.

it's pretty good

This book's plot is great, unfortunately, the pacing can't really match up. it feels like things just happen in too short a time during parts of the book, and the final confrontation isn't very exciting due to how poorly the magic is described and explored

very basic

if these is 1 of ur first books to read go for it, but if not don't it's just all the fantasy drops put in a book and not allot alse.

Struggling

I found it hard to become invested in Aram. While overall I did enjoy the book, it felt a little lack luster. Many say it takes 80 chapters for Aram to become a hero but even at the end all his self doubt and loathing left me feeling like he's almost just a whiney little boy and not a hero. Okay book probably worth at least one listen.
