About this listen
Gram lives in the long shadow cast by his father, the latehero, Dorian Thornbear. Struggling to find his place in a world where politics and wizardry appear to have replaced the need for men of might and main, he must make his own mark. Trapped within the seemingly safe confines of Castle Cameron, Gram faces both love and tragedy. His choices will define not only himself, but serve to remind others of his family's legacy, and the reason only a fool threatens those a Thornbear protects.

Great story but narrator changed
I've read almost all of the books by Michael G Manning. Great story, the only issue was the narrator changed and pronounced names, places and events completely differently. Was fairly confusing at times but eventually worked it out. Having the same narrator throughout all series would be better

An excellent beginning
The author draws the outline of the picture he creates with words. The narrator fills in between the lines with rich colours and texture using his voice to give the skeleton a body.

Better than expected
Another masterpiece to add to my growing favourite list.
I'm not good at giving in depth reviews, all I can say is that if I were to use a specific scale to rate this book starting from "it's very boring" and ending at "it's so good that It won't let me sleep" then I'd tell you that I haven't got much sleep the other night.
I'm already digging in the second title. I hope it keeps being unreasonably good.

A surprisingly good listen
I wasn't sure of it to begin with but it turned out to be a good book, although I only found out half way through that this is a continuation of a different series which I may now have to listen to. (mage born for those who like me didn't know)

Enjoyable Read...
This book developed slowly, I was still unsure after listening to the first two chapters. It was the first time I have listened to this author or narrator. I had a feeling that it was meant for a younger audience.
I re-read the book summary, checked the overall rating and read a couple of comments again. As it was a good summary and had great reviews, I stuck with it.
I am so glad that I did stick with it. The story developed and covered the transition of a 15 year old boy's rapid ascension to manhood. The narration was superb and I couldn't stop listening.
I really like it when I am drawn into a story, when I listen to book 2, I now know the author's style and will listen full of confidence with the knowledge that I know I will enjoy it.
