For every Frodo, there is a Gandalf... and a Saruman. For every Dorothy, a Glinda... and a Wicked Witch of the West. What would Harry Potter be without Albus Dumbledore... and Severus Snape? Figures of wisdom and power, possessing arcane, often forbidden knowledge, wizards and sorcerers are shaped - or misshaped - by the potent magic they seek to wield.

Story
Nicodemus is a young, gifted wizard with a problem. Magic in his world requires the caster to create spells by writing out the text...but he has always been dyslexic and thus has trouble casting even the simplest of spells. And his misspells could prove dangerous, even deadly, should he make a mistake in an important incantation. Yet he has always felt that he is destined to be something more than a failed wizard.

Intriguing!
This is a really fun book that is suited for teens and adults. The narration is really well performed and the story is original and intriguing. It is action packed and gorey at time with vivid descriptions of the chaos so children should definitely not listen to this. I loved the blend of real history with mythology and all types of magical creatures. The author came up with an original concept that kept me rivited to the story. My only dissapointment is the lack of closure for the book. It requires the next books to find a satisfying ending.

Amazing Narrator; Great Story
I read this entire series when I was younger, and I got an urge to go back to the nostalgia of my favorite YA series. I was wary, because not everything in YA stands up to the test of time to be enjoyable as an adult. But this is.
A narrator can make or break an audiobook. And let me tell you, Dennis O'Hare MAKES this. He does a wonderful job of giving the characters unique accents and tones, and makes them FEEL like different characters, rather than just a robotic reading of words on a page. He makes them feel real, and that is absolutely incredible with a book like this one.
I haven't checked yet, but I hope he narrated the rest of the series too. It wouldn't feel right done by someone else.

Mindless, but enjoyable.
Not really much depth in this series...it reads very much like a TV show.
That said, sometimes you are in the mood for TV! I am an older reader, so I might be a bit skewed. Maybe my review would be different if I was a teen.
If you are looking for something to pass the time on vacation or a road trip this series would be a good one.

I like the story and the narrator is OK. There's a couple points in the book where the author is trying to be descriptive. He just makes it too long and goes overboard. Overall good enough for me to give book 2A try

Fantastic all the way!!
Engaging and mesmerizing, sometimes I'd feel like I was watching a movie and completely forget i was listening to a book.
