Mages of Buldoun

Aether's Revival, Book 5

By: Daniel Schinhofen

Narrated by: Andrea Parsneau

Gregory, Yukiko, and Jenn were thrilled—not only had they won their first apprentice tournament, their friends finally joined them in Aether’s Guard. Daciana, Nessa, and Victoria were only halfway through their novice year, but had made an impact during their novice tournament.

Besides the three novices, more friends joined their clan: Ling and Clover. They’d studied hard and were eager to prove that they could help, too. It wasn’t long before they had their chance, as the tactics tournament was held right after the winter solstice. The games proved the determination and resourcefulness of everyone in the group. The final game used tactics that Ling and Clover put forward, propelling them to the win.

As the year drew to an end, it was time for Gregory and his growing inner circle to say farewell. Parting with the children was hard for all of them. Not only were Gregory and his wives leaving, but so was Elsa— Yukiko’s parents were going to take her in, training her to be a maid.

When the day finally came for Gregory and the Aether’s Guard magi to leave for Buldoun, they said a final farewell to their novice clanmates, then followed Lightshield to the academy gates for a grand send off. They wouldn’t be back for years, and Gregory felt a bit of melancholy as he considered all that had happened in the two years he’d been at the academy.

What would Buldoun hold for Gregory, his wives, and their friends? Even Gregory, with his foresight, couldn’t see what the future held, but he had a feeling that important events would unfold during the tournament.

Looking forward to the next one

Like normal the story is well written with likable characters. I like how the author makes tense feel more organic then forced. I still have the same complaint. Way to much I love you no we love you more crap. It is so sweet I now have to get another root canal. I can’t wait for the next book since he will be away from his women and we can focus more on the story.

Good book

The Bloopers make the book go up a star lmao 1 of the best parts of the books

Just loved it!!!

One of my all time favorite series. keep up the great work. As always Andy does a phenomenal job. One of my favorite narrators.

Hope it never ends

I realize this it not likely but I just don’t want it to end. The narration is top notch, the story is fantastic! D.S. Never stop!

Love this series

Another great addition and performance. Characters and story top notch once again. Can’t wait for the next one

Great Addition to the series

This is another great addition to an already great series. Great narration from Andrea again and oh great setup for another book to be added to the series. I can't wait to see what happens next.

another excellent performance

wonderful story, excellent performance, sidesplitting bloopers I definitely recommend this book. can't wait for next book to be narrated.

Another great listen!

As the story progresses it’s seems to get better and better. Touching and funny at times with care taken to develop each character. Trust me listen to the bloopers!

great continuation

Fan on everything this author and VA do the world's are interesting, and characters are well performed.

Andy's Bloopers, though!

I hope the Elsa bloopers remain consistent. My sides hurt from laughing. Perhaps another branched book series about Aether's return can be written as viewed from Elsa's point of view, but about how she "really thinks" of her "saviors".

I'd buy it instantly. Just like every book from this author.
