Acerca de esta escucha
In a gritty world of lies and treachery, the standard fantasy hero just won't do.
Taro lost his right leg years ago, but with a family to support, he doesn't let it slow him down. For years he's worked for a notorious crime lord named Victor Mathan. Mathan deals in stolen magical artifacts and trusts Taro to finish his work with as few questions as possible.
When an absurdly well-paying job comes up, Taro is quick to volunteer. Mathan wants him to break a powerful sorceress out of jail, but her prison is under the control of an ancient military order called the Magisterium. To get to her, Taro must pose as a Magisterium recruit. The courses are grueling, the trials drive students mad, and the magic they teach can be as deadly to the caster as it is to the target.

Why we think it’s a great listen: It’s easy to say that when it comes to sci-fi you either love it or you hate it. But with Ender’s Game, it seems to be you either love it or you love it.... The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Enter Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, the result of decades of genetic experimentation.

Four orphans are recruited to compete for the role, including a defiant boy named Sage.

I got introduced to this series through Facebook. I saw a sponsored post for it, noticed it was free on Kindle, and went, "What the hell? If I don't like it, I can always delete it." Little did I know that I would absolutely love it. Since I read book 1, I've been in contact with the author several times, C. M. Hayden is a great guy to talk to, read all four books that are currently out, and even beta read book 3.
The basic plot is that Taro, the main character, takes questionably legal jobs to earn money for his family, as both parents are sick. Taking a job from Mr. Mathan, a well known shady gentlemen in his town, he ends up going to the Magisterium, and enters school to become a Magister. Freeing a young girl named Vexis from prison, he starts a chain of events that almost destroys the world.
The characters are one of the best parts of the book. They can be frustrating, but so can people in real life. They are highly flawed, but hey, so am I.
Taro is a 16 year old boy, who is missing a leg, and would do anything for his family. And by anything, I mean anything. From helping a shady criminal to freeing someone who uses the power of a Dark God. He is one of my favorite two characters in the series, and also the one I most want to strangle. He is a typical teenager, trying to do good but making all the wrong decisions.
The magic system is just phenomenal. Magic systems in games or books are one of the main draws for me. I just love seeing how they are done. This book goes the pseudo-scientific way. The magisters, this books equivalent of mages, use specialized pens (inscibers) and ink to create runes, then use their templar to feed power to the runes. The templar is the main magical force in the magisters, whereas the runes actually focus magic to do what they want it to do. Magisters can use templar in other ways, such as enhancing physical strength.
During the books, we are introduced to several artifacts of the old gods. The first book features heavily on the Arclight, with the other four being introduced in subsequent books. They (along with someone who has their templar unlocked) can unlock the templar within a person, each artifact having its own unique magic. The other artifacts are the Netherlight, Deeplight, Overlight, and the Corelight. I have spoken to C. M. Hayden about them, and I have my own theories on what will happen with them.
The world (Arkos) is massive. I won't say much about it, as it is a spoiler, but it definitely is not a normal planet. To get around, a Arkosian would either have to walk or take a ship, with either Magisters or royalty able to take airships. So far, much of the world hasn't been revealed, unless you take a peek at the glossary, which does give more information on the unique nature of Arkos.
Overall, I highly recommend The Reach Between Worlds. It is a well written book by a great author. If you don't have time to read, he also has books 0, 1, and 2 out on Audible. It is the epitome of a 5 star book.

Good start but quite flawed
Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
Overall, this was a promising story. A young boy who’s caught between good and evil and in the meantime enters a school to learn magic. And the teachers pitted against this prisoner who escapes and everything hinges on Taros’ actions. Unfortunately, I didn’t feel compelled by any of the characters and many of them felt similar enough that I had a hard time remembering who was who. I was also a little confused about how everything worked, from the magic to the arc light itself, that powers the city. I think that if I had found Taro compelling I would have been able to overlook lack of complete understanding of how everything functioned, but he just seemed to take action after action without much personality. This all compounded. However, since the plot was good, the end was interesting and set up the next novel nicely.
The narration by John Pirhalla was well done, with clearly distinguishable voices for each of the characters. The production quality was good as well. I would recommend this novel to anyone who likes a young adult story about learning magic, learning how to survive in the middle of a complex mess of powerful people, and making hard decisions.

What made the experience of listening to The Reach Between Worlds the most enjoyable?
The narration was fantastic. With so many characters and voices and accents in the book Pirhalla performed it incredibly well. Real joy to listen to this book. Most importantly Reach was a very good first book by Hayden. Not your normal book of magic. It's full of twists and turns and surprises that are weaved into the story quite well. Hayden gets a crucial element that many writers don't get...make your reader root for and care for your characters. He has accomplished this. Even smaller characters are fleshed out well and it really adds to the entire world created in Reach. This is one you'll want to listen to as opposed to reading. Can't wait to hear book 2.Fun Story, Amazing Narrator

Very original story and setting, not your typical fantasy world.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Reach Between Worlds?
Vexis, the main villain. She's a lot of fun. Kind of a mad genius type Joker.Which character – as performed by John Pirhalla – was your favorite?
Probably Suri.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, took a few, but it's short.Any additional comments?
