Soul of Magic

Chronomancer, Book 1

By: Mark August

Narrated by: Gary Bennett

"A sword may kill a single person. An idea can change the world. Imagine what someone can do with magic."

Except using magic in Caesea is punishable by death.

Kincaid, a journeyman carpenter with artistic skills not seen in generations, discovers his shop is on the wrong side of underworld loans. In a blast of unknown and untamed power to protect those he loves, Kincaid changed his bright future in the Carpentry Guild to a dank prison beyond the laws of the city. Thrust into city politics, Kincaid faces impossible choices to escape to save his loved ones or embrace being a pawn in the games of political power. All the while a whispering voice invades his thoughts, pushing him to become the Chronomancer.

To change his destiny, Kincaid must embrace the darkest secret of magic only the Magi know.

First in series

Good baseline, some use of phrases were too much - but the narrator gave it no favors. Looking forward to next in series!

poor narration

I could not finish this book. The narration was monotone which made it very hard to follow the storyline.

slow, dry, and suddenly eventful

This was a rough listen. Final chapters were eventful. Im not sure I will get next book.
