Story
Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

Story
Long ago, the world fell into twilight, when the great empires of old consumed each other in sorcerous cataclysms. In the south, the Star Towers fell, swallowed by the sea, while the black glaciers descended upon the northern holdfasts, entombing the cities of Min-Ceruth in ice and sorcery. Then from the ancient empire of Menekar, the paladins of Ama came, putting every surviving sorcerer to the sword and cleansing their taint from the land. The pulse of magic slowed, fading like the heartbeat of a dying man. But after a thousand years, it has begun to quicken again.

The ancient magic of wizards was anything but dark. It was the enlightenment that lifted humanity from the squalor of superstition, and the worship of fell spirits and capricious gods, but those days are gone. The shining glory of the sorcerers burned away the subtlety of wisdom, replacing it with easy power, held only in the hands of the elite - a new age built upon the elemental supremacy of aristocrats and the ignorance of the masses.

An inn is a place to rest, a place to talk and share stories, a place to find adventure, or a starting ground for quests and legends. It is in this world, at least. To Erin Solstice, an inn seems like a medieval relic from the past. But here she is, running from Goblins and trying to survive in a world full of monsters and magic. She’d be more excited about all of this if everything wasn’t trying to kill her. But an inn is what she’s found, and so that’s what she becomes; an innkeeper, who serves drinks to heroes and monsters. Mostly monsters. But it’s a living, right?

Summary
When Lenodara the Hawkmaiden - Dara, to her friends - was made an apprentice to the foremost wizard in the world, Minalan the Spellmonger, Magelord of her native land of Sevendor, she thought that the adventurous life was behind her. She looked forward to a long, boring career of learning how to read and taking magic lessons...but Dara’s life as the Spellmonger’s new apprentice is anything but boring!
Within days of assuming her new duties, a goblin invasion in the distant land of Gilmora compels Minalan to gather his forces to repel it...and that means Dara, too. Her unique ability to use the ancient Alka Alon weapon, the Thoughtful Knife, may be the only way to thwart the invasion - and combat the dragons that have ravaged the castles of the land.
But the battlefield is just the beginning of her new adventure, and she finds the aristocracy of the city of Barrowbell is as challenging as a goblin attack. But new adventures lead Dara to new friends in the unlikeliest of places on her way to becoming the Hawklady!

Good but language is off
The book is good and is a nice addition to the world, however although the narrators voice works well for Dara her mispronunciations of names and places etc from the main books is a very big distraction to the story.

love seeing things from this perspective,
I wish the narrator listened to at least one of the original books for simple pronunciation continuity.
she wasnt that bad but no more then 3 stars
I kinda knew she would mess somthing up, I remember the way she butchered the little these song in the book 'the boy on the bridge' in that she didnt even try to find the melody in that it was embarrassing

Narration is awful
Finty Williams has no idea of the spellmongers universe! She should have at least listened to the Spellmonger read by JOHN LEE before embarking on narrating on any of theses fantastic books (POOR CHOICE AUDIBLE)!!!!!
She has most definitely never read or listened to any of the books, thus she has no understanding of the characters, their back stories or indeed their relationships with other characters. This comes through in awful abundance, distracting the listener with major miss pronunciations constantly.
Then there is her accents she makes Rondal sound as though he is illiterate and only half a brain cell yet he is the exact opposite.
To enjoy this great story and any other in the series read by Finty Williams I suggest reading them or YOU WILL BE SADLY DISAPPOINTED!!!!

another page turner
I love that this series gives you a different angle and perspective to a story you already know without it being boring at all. the new insights you get are facinating and it let's the author develop minor characters from the main series with much more detail.
the only thing I would correct is that this narrator pronounces many names differently from the narrator of the main series, that is a bit jarring at times (maybe only to me, I am a bit pedantic at times ...) but that could easily be remedied I think.

Second book in the series I have listened to. Since I have not listened to any other books by this author within this storyline under another narrator, I cannot tell whether or not that would have been an issue for me, as others have stated in their reviews. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series so far, and am looking forward to listening to the third bpok.

The best fantasy series going keeps expanding.
A worthy successor to the Spellmonger series follows the most interesting of the Spellmongers apprentices. It shows the events of the other books in the series from a different perspective and does so masterfully. The Cadet series so far has lived up to the standard set by the Spellmonger series, which may be the best fantasy series out there right now hands down.
