Will the elusive mage come out of retirement and agree to help Noah master his volatile wizard powers before they destroy him?

not too bad for a ya book

The story was not bad. It is a simple story full of misadventures where the MC is constantly making the wrong choices. He don't even get the girl in the end. It was very action pack once you got past the first few chapters. Unfortunately, I did not realize it was book two of a series so I missed some of the background though it can be acceptable as a stand-alone story. I will be going back and listen to the first book.

As far as the narrator, it was a virtual voice and surprising good though it seemed to get a bit lazy near the end. If audible did not mention it being a virtual voice, I would have thought it was a real person reading it. The only real con was all the characters had the same voice. You would think they could program different voices for the different characters.

If you don't mind listening to a virtual voice and If you are looking for a simple YA book, this would be a good one. It don't have the bad language nor any type of romance. I highly recommend it to preteens and teens but even older folks like me can enjoy it.
