(The Mystic Knight Book 1)

By: Ryan Jackson

Narrated by: Robin Shay, Allen Ryder

Aldric knew from a young age that he was destined to become a mage. After running from home at the age of six he was taken in by the Arch Mage Lorelei Ironheart, and brought under her care and tutelage at the orphanage she runs with her husbands. There he learned the truth on how to become a mage, and how to gain the bonds that would become the family he always wanted.

However, his awakening doesn't go as expected and the Academy, where all mages for the Empire are taught, need to see him so they can evaluate what happened. He sets out with Lorelei and her husband Duncan, his best friend Zach, and his childhood crush Jordan, to learn his destiny.

What he learns there will forever change the course of his life and will have long lasting implications not only for him, but for the Empire at large.

Join Aldric as he struggles with the weight of the burden put on his shoulders and navigates the relationships he has to cultivate in order to succeed. He finds love, friends, and companionship. But also those that want to tear him down and destroy his chance at happiness.

Good book, but with a bad narrator

The book is fun and definitely worth listening to. The narrators are harder to rate, as they are not equal. Robin is great, and should have an easy five stars. Allen is a bit difficult to listen to and should have two. He makes the mc sound like a whiny simpleton, and it makes it hard to like him.

Slow start but overall a good read.

I enjoyed the character interactions and banter throughout the book. Spice was entertaining. Storyline was had a good hook. Overall I would say it was worth the credit.

Great start!

I was sucked into the story from the start. Only issue was with the male narrator making the MC sound whiny, but everything else was great!

Great start!!

This book kept me. I'm looking forward to the next one.Hoping it comes out soon. The voice actors Did a good job. The funny thing is that I found this book on accident took a chance loved it.

Started out great, but . .

The middle was very slow. The ending redeemed it somewhat, so that was an upside.
