I didn't know who I was. The official story was shipwreck, and, though I know there was more to it than that, I never asked. Life for me began eight years ago when my uncles fished me from the sea. Keeping me had meant one more blanket on a floor and one more plate on a table that had little enough to start with. I was quick to find ways to make up the difference. I had skills that helped me to pick my marks and contribute my share. I also had plenty to learn about life on the street.

Twelfth Night with Swashbuckling Spin
Revisado: 02-11-16
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Definitely - I loved the performance. It's a challenging book with many colorful characters and the narrator did a marvelous job.
What other book might you compare The Sea Dragon's Lair to and why?
It definitely owes a little to the classic Twelfth Night twins template... but that's basically just the springboard. If Katniss Everdeen were the lead character in Treasure Island you might be on the right track. It's a big epic tale with wonderful characters and a spunky heroine that kind of reminded me of Merida in Brave.
Have you listened to any of Joel Froomkin’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No - but i will look out for more his work. His a wonderful narrator - versatile and he brings great energy to the characterizations. It was a delightful listen and he really brought the characters to life.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It's pretty long - so that wasn't possible... but was definitely eager to keep listening.
Any additional comments?
Great listen.

Magic, adventure and a bit of gay romance. Get the latest book from new author John Leddy. Alistair is a gay wizard who lives in the woods. He has a very vibrant and unique bunch of friends and one day they decide to go out and seek some adventure. Boy, do they find it. After saving a knight from a gruesome battle, Alistair and friends take him home to heal and after some bumpy beginning, he warms to the crazy little family and becomes one of them. It isn’t all happy ever after though. Alistair starts to feel his magic morph and change. He starts to feel the limit of his magic might not be as limited as he thought. Will he find a way to control his magic? Will he have the great adventure he seeks? Will he find love? Have a read and find out! Warning: this book contains sassy character, a perfectly perfect to die for Knight and many laughs along the way.

Where does Rise Of A Wizard rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Well - it's a short piece - but i was definitely engaged. The narration is lively, with great characterization and strong comic skill. The group of misfit magical friends are sassy and fun. It's kind of a Dungeons and Dragons quest tale with a gay twist. I wish the entire story was available in one long form... but I certainly will look out for the next installment.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I love the super sassy gay fairy who is still bitter because his parents kicked him out for being too fairy of a fairy. He's shameless and snarky and really fun.
Which scene was your favorite?
The scene where they have rescued a sexy knight and he finally wakes up is really fun... the characters all respond in really cute ways and the giant character made me laugh out loud.
Any additional comments?
If you like short fantasy and m/m whimsical fiction, you'll enjoy this. It's well written with really endearing characters and the beginning of a quest that lays out a really great foundation for a future story arc.
