Publisher's summary

Keiran clawed his way from gutter rat to archmage in his first life.

His second was supposed to be easier...

Keiran of the Night Vale has staved off death for two thousand years. His mind and his magic remain as sharp as ever, but his body is old, worn out, and failing. What he needs is to reincarnate into a new, young body, and he bends his prodigious talents towards doing exactly that.

He awakens to find that he’s been reborn in a wasteland where mana has become a scarce resource. Even the internal mana generated by people is stolen away by those who rule them. And without mana, he’s no longer a mage.

It will take more than that to stop Keiran. With each passing week, he regains more of his old strength, but can he keep his secrets safely hidden? Standing in his way is his new home’s cult-like nightly mana tithing, a governor with deadly secrets, and a monster-ridden desert.

It's a deadly scramble to claim the mana he so desperately needs to survive, but Keiran didn’t become an archmage by accident.

He’s willing to use every dirty trick and tactic he knows to get there again.

Pretty Good

I enjoyed it well enough. Definitely not for everyone as it isn’t the most exciting or original story but I found it enjoyable.

Really interesting twist on fantasy

Performance was on point.
Book itself was very interesting. The ending was a bit of a stretch but I can see it for helping progress the story.
Overall I enjoyed it and will definitely be continuing with the series.

Enjoyable

This definitely has 'Legend of the Arch Magus' vibes, but in a good way. Iti s not derivative and carries the story well. The characters are cohesive and all believable given the plot.
I found this quite enjoyable and am looking forward to the next installment.
