Story
Spy, rogue, thief, and noble, Seregil of Rhiminee is many things, none of them predictable. And when he offers to take on Alec as his apprentice, things may never be the same for either of them. Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail. But fortune is as unpredictable as Alec's new mentor.

Story
In the centuries since rising up against a cruel, twisted dynasty, the Seven Cities have done much to move past their horrid histories, the memories of ancient monarchs who once fed on the life and blood of their own people. Those with a talent for magic are no longer hounded and slain. The lands beyond the Cities are safe, spared the atrocities the Alescuans once wrought upon them. For 300 years, there has been peace. Then Eska de Caraval, head of the prestigious Firenzia Company, finds herself framed for murder.

It turns out, the "Demon Weed" actually is a gateway drug! Who knew? Tom Perkinje certainly didn't. He had never smoked anything in his life, but as the new kid in town trying to make friends, he foolishly let his new buddy Reggie talk him into trying a joint that he'd picked up from a new dealer. Before he knew it, Tom was having a seriously bad trip; a total out-of-body experience where the world had dissolved around him.

True Epic Fantasy Fan
I have only listened to the first book but if you are a true fan of fantasy you should give this one a shot. I almost skipped this series because some of the reviews were so bad. That would have been a mistake. The bad reviews must have been written by romance lovers not fans of fantasy. I have been hooked since the beginning. I am just a regular guy but I have been listening to Audible for years and have a very large library of fantasy books. If this series continues as it has it will be one of my favorites. The narrator, Tim Gerard Reynolds does an excellent job. He brings the characters to life and gives them each their own personality. 5 stars without a doubt.

He is always very easy to listen, a warm embracing style that feels like an old friend telling tales over a nice bottle of port.

An exciting beginning to an interesting tale. The plot moves smoothly and the characters are enigmatic and the dynamic cohesive. A good story worth the read.

Good Read
What made the experience of listening to Ice Forged the most enjoyable?
Interesting world. Colorful characters and backgrounds. It could have been easily broken into two books, but thankfully, we did not have to wait for the second. :)

Unremarkable Entertainment
Another masterful performance by Tim Gerard Reynolds on this poorly written yet somewhat entertaining adventure. In a under developed world chopped full of every conceivable type of magic there is definitely something for everyone just not well done somethings. The performance of Tim saved this book for me.

Not the best story, but it's better than average, and adding vampires to this genera was a nice touch.
Tim Gerard Reynolds was great as usual.

Pretty good. I’ll keep an eye on this author
There wasn’t much story progression but it was done really well. I was interested in what was going on throughout the book. Definitely worth a credit if you like fantasy. World was fun to learn about and the characters which sell it the most are pretty good.

From leisured adolescent to tempered man
It's always a treat when I come across a new author that exhibits the promise of becoming one of my top-tier few and Gail Z. Martin shows all the signs of that in book 1 of this saga. It combines the abbreviated struggles of an Odysseus-like adventure as Blaine and his hard earned friends make their way back to their homeland from a prisoner colony.
There are some magical elements to the tale but they play a minor role in this, the first book, and eventually are seemingly lost entirely, causing all sorts of hardships for a society that had come to rely on its uses. His friends are an eclectic mix of assassin/spy/courtesan, ex-soldier, tinkerer/inventor, thief/entertainer and vampire assistant.
The plot plays out evenly starting with familial departure then with several close encounters and eventual return to his family and then a continuation of his quest to restore the magic.
There were some areas that seemed a little under-developed. Blaine's siblings who were suggested to play a significant role in the beginning seemed to be almost forgotten after his return. Even his sister, who did play a significant role in his being sent to a prisoner colony, was completely ignored after a few hugs and tears. Even so, the book was entertaining, made all the more so with Tim Gerard Reynolds's excellent narration performance.
