The Guardian's Grimoire

The Guardian Series, Book 1

By: Rain Oxford

Narrated by: Todd Menesses

Dylan thought he was an average man with a dead-end job and no great aspirations. When he finds a black book lying innocently on his lawn with peculiar words and markings, he discovers the universe is bigger than he imagined. The guardian of Earth, who kept the book and its immense power safe from falling into the wrong hands, was killed. Now Earth needs a new guardian.

The battle to protect the book begins early for Dylan, as he must rely on his newly discovered powers to defeat the creatures sent to take the book. Dylan's life is sure to be full of adventure, danger, and magic.

To protect his book and the world that now relies on him, he must learn to survive in a foreign world, fight fierce horrors beyond imagination, master the magical arts, and ultimately battle a dark god who has already destroyed one world.

Wonderful

What a wonderful surprise. Truly entertaining. I wish the other books in the series were on Audible.

Fairly Amusing, Narrator Annoying

The protagonist had loads of personality and the narrator's voice was appropriate for him, but most of the other voices had bizarre inflections, totally at odds with the scenes and emotions being expressed. It made me tired just listening to them, and eventually irritated. If I had any advice to give to the narrator, it would be "Don't try so hard."

Amazing Fantasy World

This book had incredible world building and fantasy elements. The story sucks you in from the beginning and keeps you hooked the entire time. Narrator did a great job but dual narration will always be better. Overall really enjoyed this book!

Awesome and adventurous!

I really enjoyed Rain Oxford's The Guardian Grimoire! The story was amazingly adventurous and Todd Menesses did a wonderful job telling it. Oxford did a great job creating a vivid tale of of adventure that I will remember for a lifetime! I don't know if she made up some of the words in the story, but if she did, that made it even more intriguing to me. I'm definitely going to do some research about this genre because before this book, I really had only ever entertained works oike The Hobbit, Lord if the Rings, etc. But, this has reminded me that there's a world of fantasy and adventure stories to dive into! Great job, Rain!

Amazing audiobook !!!

I am a huge fan of the fantasy books and a very tough audience to please. This audiobook exceeded all of my expectations. The story is fresh and original in the genre, with some very likeable characters. It is written flawlessly, creatively and the author took great care to present the content in an easy and understandable manner. The narrator also did a great job and made listening to the audiobook an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this material to all the fantasy lovers, I give it a, well deserved, 5 stars rating!
