Although there weren’t many ratings of these books when I first began, which made me wary, I am so impressed with them. These books have similar elements to the name of the wind, but in a wonderfully authentic story.

One of the most fun books I’ve ever read. Do yourself a favor and check out this series.

There are several things I am happy to repeat in this review like I’ve said about Michael G. Manning’s other works: Amazing, detailed, finely crafted and woven story line and sub-plots. Characters so relatable and real they become instantly a part of you like someone you’ve known for years. A setting, realm and backstory that doesn’t do anything less than inspire you to learn and experience more. An arcane system with an elaborate and imaginative ‘science’ and consistency that astounds the mind with it’s detail and charm. Pick it up. Read it. You’ll want to read it again. The initial read is a delight. Reading it again is like a warm and loving hug from an old friend...

This is an Amazing! second book in the adept series. Don’t miss out on the journey of the young and sometimes daft wizard Will as he learns more skills, stumbling through his screwups. Its a must read. If you haven’t read the first book? Do so and get introduced to the world. Don’t miss out!
