Great story and good fun

Revisado: 11-22-24

This whole series is fun. Great narration. The authors take the genre to the extreme, but they seem to like doing that and do it well. Read the whole Forgotten Ruin series, if you haven’t yet, to get the full story.

Great story, poor narration

Revisado: 10-24-24

Read these books 40 years ago and loved them. It’s great to get race reacquainted with them. I had to reduce narration speed to .75 to be able to stand the narration. It was touch and go for a while, even so.

A must read following the Praxis trilogy

Revisado: 03-04-24

Three great stories that continue the character development of the characters of the Praxis trilogy and set the stage for the following novels. If you’ve finished the six main novels published to date, don’t despair. Take a short hop back in time to see what the characters were doing between wars. It’s also a joy to hear the original narrator’s great performance again.

Great story.

Great story in a solid series. Meh performance after book 3 with a new narrator.

Beware. A great series that leads to disappointment

Revisado: 10-13-23

This is a great series and the author does a good job of making you care about the characters. Fantastic first book and I really enjoyed the series up until near
the end. Pay attention to the increasing dark foreshadowing as you progress through the books. By the end of the series, this becomes a tragic story that feels forced that direction. Very disappointing. There is a follow on series that I am unwilling to subject myself to.

Be prepared to be disappointed

Revisado: 10-13-23

I liked the series and read the other reviews only after finishing the series. They’re all right, both good and bad. The foreshadowing led me to hope that what I thought might happen, would not. Nope. The author ruins everything for everybody, even the reader. I don’t need to read fiction to see a tragedy, when all I have to do is watch the news. Extremely hesitant to read anything else by this author at this point.

Sedate and innocuous

Revisado: 09-27-22

Don’t listen to this if you just enjoyed a Galaxy’s Edge book. Take a Nora Robert’s break in between. Good if you need a nice, dull, and pleasant story with some exploration of sexual and social issues. Nothing significant happens and nobody gets hurt beyond some bruises and burns. This was free, so I got what I paid for.

Gimme more!

This is a great appetizer for what promises to be a fantastic meal. Compelling characters and an intriguing storyline in a uniquely dark world.

A very fun listen

Revisado: 07-13-20

I bought this thinking it would be a great appetizer for the new Harry Dresden novel, but ended up binging on this and sequels until I was full. A light hearted story with a great main character with fun problems. Keep a few spare credits handy because one book rolls right into the next.

Your patience will be rewarded

What made the experience of listening to Off to Be the Wizard the most enjoyable?

This is just a fun, light-hearted story with a unique take on magic.

What about Luke Daniels’s performance did you like?

He has good comedic timing and has distinct voices for the characters.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was near to giving up on this book by time the main character made it to the middle ages, but shortly thereafter had my first laugh out loud moment and was hooked.

Any additional comments?

This story is simple and fun. Much like a serial anime, don't expect deep philosophy or complex characters and enjoy it for what it is.
