About this listen

It will take an army to defeat a sorcerer. Even that might not be enough.

As Talen and his brother raise defenses to defeat the sorcerer, those once closest to him struggle the most.

While Talen thinks only of the strategy needed to overpower an impossible and deadly magic, Gwin and Jamie struggle with what it will take to defeat their father—and question if it’s even possible

If they fail, he will unleash a power the world has not seen in generations, but stopping him means finding more than the power needed; they must find their heart.

Heart of Magic completes The Golden Fool trilogy.

This is the Third Book in a series!

Unfortunately, I listened to this book before I realized that there were two earlier books in the Golden Fool series. Surprisingly, audible does not call it book 3 or mention the other books. Book 1 is called the Broken Heir and Book 2 is called the Forgotten Wole. Hopefully audible will add their normal links for books in a series.

The Story: I enjoyed the book but only listened to this third book in the series, so some of the dynamics of the magic and history just had to be taken for granted. I may go back and listen to the first two, but it's tough when you know the ending.

Virtual Voice: I actually missed the first part of the introduction that mentioned that it was a "virtual voice" so didn't know until about 7 minutes into the book. My initial impression is that the Virtual Voice was boring, but I got used to it and it was decent. A good narrator can make up for mediocre story elements, and this doesn’t do that. A few points you really know it is a virtual voice (e.g., when the text describes the speaker’s voice as “raspy” but the virtual voice does not change), but most of the time you don’t notice.

I recommend reading the book and recommend that anybody listening to the virtual voice for the first time give it at least 15 minutes to see if you get used to it.
