About this listen

As a cartography student, Jak has always dreamed of finding the lost dragon gate and exploring and mapping distant worlds.

Developing magical powers and becoming a powerful wizard? Not a chance.

Wizards are cruel and inhumane, warring with each other from their great sky cities and keeping most of humanity enslaved. Jak wants nothing to do with them.

But when he and his archaeologist mother unearth the gate, they attract the attention of the very wizards they sought to avoid. Even more troubling, Jak starts developing magical powers of his own, powers that could rival those of the great rulers.

Fate may have given him the opportunity to change the world.

But the wizard rulers don’t like change, and when they detect threats, they send their elite assassins to eliminate them.

If Jak can’t unlock the power of the gate, and the powers within himself, the world will remain enslaved forever.

I really like the layout of the story. The flow of each event was smooth and didn’t feel too rushed or too slow. My one complaint is not enough power development for Jack. In the summary of the book, it is said that Jack has magic that can rival the rulers yet all he can pretty much do is barely manage to interact with the artifact and use its power.

Jack’s mother is smart and good at making weapons out of liquids in bikes. I was annoyed that in the entire story, they are running away from one enemy and they keep getting caught or the Zadar just mind reads them.

Spoilers!!!!!!
In the very end of the book, Jack and his mother escape with the artifact and are traveling many miles away the enemy that have kept them captive for the entire story. It seems as if they finally have some peace and quiet when Jack’s mother gets a dream. Malech, the Zadar that they have been running away from them visits her and just simple asks where they are going. I remind you that they are literally in a different continent yet they still can’t escape the grasp of this one magic user.

Vivienne did a great job narrating and the story had a good flow to it, yet not very much power development. By no means am I asking for Jack to become overpowered but let him be able to do more than manipulate the artifact when he needs protection or help.

Story was good but not enough development

Another great universe from Lindsay Buroker, with all sorts of characters. I think it is going to a wild ride and I can’t wait for more. Vivienne is her usual awesome self and I am so happy she narrated this book. I hope she does all the books in this series. Will try to be patient waiting for the next one in the series.

Great start

I am looking forward to the next parts of this story I was riveted to listen to it. I hope that Jack can find away to get the portal open and go through it to see if dragons are still alive.❤❤❤❤❤❤

A lot of reviews said this was a very slow book and the rest of the series picks up. I'm excited because I actually really enjoyed the first book. It was slower paced but it was still enjoyable. I can't wait to start the 2nd book!

Very enjoyable story and great narrator

This is a great series, and I have really enjoyed it - Well written; great female narrator; good story arc over a long series of separate books. I definitely recommend all of these books. This is the first of the series and probably the slowest getting started, but it is all set up for the rest of this great series. Well worth listening to all of these.

Well done

One of my favorite series of all time
I just love the smart, snarky, and quirky characters and the amazing world building.
It’s a series that draws you in and takes you hostage while you figure out how they’re going to free terrain humans, find and befriend dragons, and maybe find out ancient secrets.

Magic, mage ships, mercenaries, ancient artifacts

If you have not listed/read a Lindsay Buroker book here's a few things to keep In mind. the 1st book in each series is a bit slow characters are introduced and formed for about little over half the 1st book in each series trust me stick with it because they take off a grab hold of you. the story comes to life the characters you'll want to know more about and what's going to happen another words you'll be hooked I promise. Buroker has the best imagination and development of a story and characters she's one of my ALL time favorite authors. you ALWAYS get action, suspense, light romance, and lots of humor well balanced. Death before Dragons is my favorite of all Buroker's series. pick anyone of her series and you'll get a fantastic read/listen. I do highly recommend listening to the books the narrators are the best Leheny dose a great job with her performance so don't miss out listening she brings this book to life. can't wait for more.
