Lusam

The Dragon Mage Wars, Book 1, 2

By: Dean Cadman

Narrated by: Alex Wyndham

Lusam grew up in the relative safety of the Elveen mountains with his grandmother. She taught him the basics of magic and discovered, quite by accident, that he possessed a unique skill never seen before: the ability to hide his magical aura from the mage-sight of others.

Dark secrets surround Lusam's origins, and the dark agents of the Empire will stop at nothing to kill Lusam. But before Lusam can be taught all he needed to know about his past, his grandmother unexpectedly dies of a fever, and Lusam finds himself homeless on the unforgiving streets of Helveel. Unbeknown to Lusam, the only thing keeping him alive is a promise he made to his grandmother to always hide his aura, no matter what. Lusam meets and befriends a young thief fleeing her old city of Stelgad before making a magical discovery that will change both their lives forever, and possibly the fate of the entire world.

I almost passed this up!

While looking for books with the same feel of The Inheritance Cycle I passed this book up several times, boy was that a mistake! This book is very well written and not overly complicated like you get with some other fantasy books. This book is a must read if you like The Inheritance Cycle. I don't like comparing books normally but on a scale (of how enveloped in the book I became) this ranks top five for me!

Love it!

Hate that book three and four aren't available yet. can't wait for it to be on Audible!

Excellent series

Excellent series, very enjoyable story line, simple and direct with little to no filler. able to keep an interest from start to finish.

Fun Book

Any additional comments?

This was a fun book. Loved the characters and the story. Alex Wyndham made the story come to life.

Great story overall good book, terrible MC

1st and foremost before deciding to read the story you should know it is a great story. But you should know the MC is a kind-hearted 16 year old boy. That may be a turn off to some, including me. But by the time I got to the point were it is really irksome I couldn't find it in myself to drop the series.

He is a super hero type kid. feels for everybody. In the middle of war people are trying to kill you but refuses to kill while they are shooting magic at him kind of annoying.

I give the plot, story, and world building 5 stars. Minus one because of the sheer stupidity of him sometimes. I am expecting him to mature as the series continues.
