The men secured the shackles slowly, hesitantly, but Kibure did not resist; he couldn’t. Whatever otherworldly power had come over him in those moments of passion had fled his body the second he realized what he had done....

In a realm where only clerics are permitted to practice magic, Kibure’s inexplicable use of power places him in grave danger. In a twist of fate, the rogue priestess hired to strip him of his power chooses instead to help him escape. Her reasons for doing so are her own, but something worse than death awaits if they are unable to evade the Empire's most potent wielders.

This epic fantasy series will be especially enjoyed by fans of Brandon Sanderson, Robert Jordan, Michael J. Sullivan, Edward W. Robertson, and Michael Wisehart.

what does that mean to most, multiple main characters points of views, so if you believe that a story can/should have only 1 MC, please don't waste your time. Aesthetically the story is really engaging, and each character has distinctive quirks to make them more 3D. First of all let me state that structurally speaking there's nothing wrong with the story either. Some people can't stand the jumps from characters who are engaged in various different activities across the world because they're easily confused, but I don't mind. Personally my only structural issue is that the jumps in time for certain characters are not bringing you back to present before the character signs off and you are unsure of where in time you are for that character when it gets back to their turn. Definitely looking forward to more and a stellar narration

The book has characters that I cared about but it just didn’t come together for me. I made it to the end but didn’t stay up past my bedtime to hear what happened.

Interesting characters

A well written story that combines a deep word building experience with subtle characters and wonderful potential. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

interesting and unique

This books does not end. The narration stop due to lack of text to read, but the story does not reach an acceptable stopping point. This whole first book is just character and world building, and that's about it. I hope the rest of the series provides a satisfying ending to the story.

Good start, where is the rest?

The overall story is good but with a mediocre narrator and far to many perspective shifts its hard to settle into.

A great if disjointed story

I liked the story, but most of the time I listened i just wanted it to end. The narrator had an accent at the end of every word that made him sound like a kid making fun of a teenagers voice. The author has a loop for the chapters and doesn't stray far from this pattern :

Chap 1 Protagonist
Chap 2 Antogonist
Chap 3 Side Charactor

(might have chap 2 and 3 swapped)

so every time you ready a chapter you have to wait two chapters to find out what's next and the worst part for me was SPOILER 📢 ⚠️ 🚨 📢 ⚠️ 🚨 📢 ⚠️ 🚨






The main character spent almost half the damn book in a cage, like 8 hours into the book he finally gets out of the cage. After 20 hrs I barely know the MC. That said, the first 14-16 hours of the book was a rough read, from 16-20 was pretty good and engaging. the last 5 mins of the book makes me want to read the next one but i probably won't because the narrator and chapter loop killed it for me.

All in all I think this is a 3-3.5 star book, not bad but not awesome.

Good Plot, Good hook, Narrator and loop killed it

Smythe masterfully conveys the more complex elements of world-building through legends and myths mentioned within The Other Magic. Two seemingly separate storylines, one a homeless slave in Kibure, thought to be a demon and enduring trials as he is transported to be sold to another master. Assuming he can survive the journey. And the other, spoilt Prince Aynward and his tertiary education which allows for a fascinating intellectual exploration of the perceived ties between magic and religion and how this applies when every faith’s followers consider their institution and the deities they observe to be the one true faith. Both combine to provide a stimulating thematic link to Kibure’s trials and the purposefully warped perspective on good and evil displayed by the god-king and Klerol priests.

I loved LOVED this book and the narration of Greg Patmore was perfection! It is an exciting epic fantasy debut with an invigorating, mentally stimulating thematic premise that will delight YA and adult readers alike.

exhilarating and unpredictable

It’s confusing and I think it skips some parts. One minute they’re running from someone for several chapters then boom they’re in their custody. It took two tries to complete. I think I may get the next one and listen as background while I work but I’m pretty sure if I could go back in time I’d skip it.

Not sure what to say…

only one of the 4 main characters has a real goal, the rest just exist in the world. even he gets side tracked pretty easily. Prose is good but the focus on world building means I don't care about the characters. One character gets bludgeoned unconsciously weekly and just moves on each time, no lasting bruises or aches

no goals

It took me serval attempts to find the groove. I’m not sure why. Once I got past the slow grind. It a good story. I’m excited for the next book. A different approach to magic. A good different.

It’s good story
