The Dark Summoner

The Dark Summoner, Book 1

By: Andrei Tkachev, JJ Shaw - translator

Narrated by: Danny Montooth

When you're the sole surviving noble of junior lineage, don't expect much of a future. That's what some might think.

Not Gregor, though. The way he sees it, being last of a line means he can dispense with social niceties and do exactly what he wants. And if any unwelcome visitors have a problem with that, this guy's got one or two surprises for them.

Not much happens, but its an alright book.

Maybe this book established the premise but not much happening in this and theres no story going on in the back ground.

interesting concept and execution

nope, story is written in away to sell books not to tell a stroy. so i can not recommend this book to anyone

Not very exciting

The story has an interesting angle to the whole Summoner class and skills which caught my interest in the first place. There's not a lot of details from his backstory and suggests that it may be revealed at some time in the future. The MC is somewhat anti-social and makes him difficult to become invested in and a lot of the book revolves around him becoming a pseudo-teacher for other students. The story evolves in a forward manner but very little tension and angst is included.

Danny Montooth performance was better than okay when mimicking both genders.

too short

Future books needs to be at least double the size. It's a great book but it's hard to get into the series if the books are so small. There is a lot of information and fights that could be in details making the books bigger and more engaging to it's audience.

So good

I would definitely recommend this book. I just loved it, I couldn't put it down. I just wish it was longer. This is definitely a must read.
