Nice first book to the new series. A little clipped at times like the author was in a hurry, but it is 20 hours long. Well done J.R.!

Travis did a good job as a narrator too. It seemed... average, which is perfectly fine. Narrators do a lot, so I can imagine it is hard to be exceptional all the time.

Looking forward to more!

Worth the wait, and jonesing for more!

Revisado: 12-29-21

Probably my favorite series right now. Sure the book was a little long to get where the author wanted to go, but it was a great setup, some fun adventuring, and the next book will have some even tastier meat! Just awesome.

To start, before writing this, I read through Gordian Knot so I'm pretty involved in the series and like a lot of what Nuttell does. I've read and listened to a lot of Nuttall's stuff. He come up with some REALLY awesome plot lines but sometimes his writing come off as super biased. Maybe that is because he is from Scotland and this Yank just doesn't get his mindset sometimes. But to me, these books have been a neat story line with a bad execution. In example I find Emily's inner dialog so very annoying. Always talking about how she "made" the princess a good person. Always going on about how backwards the world is and comparing it to Earth. For someone who supposedly doesn't miss earth, she complains a lot. She is so obsessive about how awesome she is, how insecure she is, how traumatized she is by her past... it sometime make me want to reach through the dimensions and bitch slap her. Maybe Nuttell wants the reader to find Emily extremely annoyed by her. A very insecure girl, who also thinks she is right about everything. Just wow, sit back and think about that for a moment.... Moment over. So I found a number of these books a staggered attempt at getting into a young female mindset. Maybe that is actually how teenage girls are, and I'm super disconnected, but if so... sorry girls, get over yourselves. As you read/listen further he (or she) will get better, but not by much. I love a strong female lead, but I think Emily is that only part of the time, the rest of the time she is waffling is a world where she needs to nut up or shut up. Also the learning curve in the books has been odd. she learned SOOOO much much magic in her first year or two. Over the next number of years after she nickel and dined her way through school. After both Past Tense and Sergant's Apprentice I thought, "Finally, let the bad ass out!" but nope... she continues to waffle. So, a brave attempt to Nuttell to take on the mind of a teenage girl, but sometime I have wished the necromancer's would turn her into their sock puppet to stop her whining.

I hate to say it...

Revisado: 11-09-20

So sorry, but Tavia's voice drives me crazy. She is definitely talented, but her tones and patterns annoy the heck out of me...

SORRY!!!

Story is okay, and does get better in future books, but this first one is rough.

Narrator's Voice REALLY bugs me

Revisado: 02-28-19

Story is fun, could do without the harem. There is just something about the Narrator's Voice that doesn't fit. Sorry man, I just don't think you fit into the role.

It's okay

Revisado: 07-19-18

A few reviews downcast it, but it is enjoyable... well there was one awkward scene that didn't seem to fit. Other than that, an okay listen.
