Silvertongue

Remnants of Magic, Book 1

By: Casey White

Narrated by: Andrew Tell

After another long day at work, all Jon Christensen wanted was a cheap burger and some peace and quiet.

When he pulled into the McDonald’s, Jon only had the usual cares on his mind. His sister. The bills. A career with seemingly nowhere to go.

But after a confusing encounter at the cash register triggers a violent episode in the parking lot, he’s quickly pulled into a world he doesn’t understand. His few careless sentences - and the odd gift of languages he’s kept hidden for years - wind up thrusting him right into the middle of a chaotic magical free-for-all, a battle taking place in the shadows of society. Entangled in an increasingly complex web of violence and lies, he's left with a choice: adapt or die.

Surrounded by strangers, Jon must struggle to survive, searching out friends amidst a sea of foes. If he can get his group of strays and rejects to work together, there’s a chance they might just make it out alive.

Should he fail, the consequences will be dire - not only for Jon, but also for those he loves.

Great Urban Fantasy

I really loved this book. I'm already dying for more in the series. This was a great start to what could be an amazing series of not only books but tv or movies. Casey Whites writing is excellent and well planed out. Some of the bigger fight scenes were only slightly jumbled but its hard when you have so many powerful pieces moving simultaneously. Andrew Tell's performance is phenomenal, really bringing the suspense of the story alive. I will say it felt rushed surprisingly for a 25 hour long audio book, this could be because I loved this world so much I could have had more side character development or back story. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Its Okayish

Decent book. I am not 100% sold on it and I am not sure why.

Basic ideas are there

Basic ideas are there but really turned into Highlander meets Young Guns. A lot could be trimmed from first chapters to increase story pace. The narration was painful to hear.

Good book

Awesome listen want another right now!!! I hope that there will be more soon!! Good plot readers voice is not annoying. Lots of excitement twist and turns. Just altogether well rounded book.

Different

It strikes me that there doesn't seem to be a explanation for the stars that are given. So I thought I'd start giving my take on it.
1 horrible no redeeming qualities.
2 there are redeeming qualities.
3 good worth reading, or well written but not my cup of tea.
4 great but there's something off.
