Who wouldn't want to be a Dragon Mage?

Very short book. Almost a short story.
But an awesome story nonetheless.
Dude goes antique shopping with a girl he's trying to hook up with and gets killed by a possessed dragon statue and given the spirit's powers and sent to another world.
Awesome premise and characters.
Great writing and narration.
Definitely 5 stars. Maybe 6.

Good one

Good story, it was entertaining with an excellent narration, only had a few problems with it nothing major just some personal preference but to be honest i don't know if I'm going to buy the next audiobook because of the price it was expensive for just 5 hours but I'll probably get the e-book

Written at a grade school level porn story.

Main character acts and thinks like a horny teenager. This story was written as if it was for a grade school audience. The whole thing is a slightly dressed up porn novel. When every woman the main character meets is first described with a paragraph long section of how sexy they are, then you know where this story is going. But the overall insult in this story is that there is no originality whatsoever. Whole sections of this story you could’ve easily been taken straight from other novels that I’ve read in the past. It is quite pathetic and I would like to have my money back.

To short

Won’t continue serious unless they combine all of the books. Not work credit . Story was ok typical

Good Narration, ok short story

The story was really short. About half the time of most books but still full cost which was very disappointing. The lack of length of the story really showed in the lack of depth as well. There are some good ideas but basically glanced leaving the feeling that you watched a long commercial rather than a book.

That said, the narrators are good. Love the fact that there are 2 narrators, one male and one female, as this helps provide better voices for the various characters. The male narrator did read a bit fast and sometimes missed the voice and even started speaking once before the female narrator finished her line.
