I really liked the narrator. Travis Baldree did an excellent job making the characters identifiable and interesting. He allowed emotions and action to elevate the story. Unfortunately the story wasn’t as good as the narration. I guessed the Big Bad Guy long before the hero. At times I just wanted to grind my teeth because the character made stupid choices. The world building was good with rules and boundaries for magic. However, I could do without the info dumps to get the rules out there. It might sound like I hated the story but I really didn’t. I stuck with it all the way through, mainly due to the narrator pulling me in. The world is interesting and I really liked the characters. If you find it on sale, give it a try.
