Good story

The story was fantastic. It kept moving at a decent pace. I will say that it is geared towards a younger audience but some adults will enjoy it as well. If you like magic and adventure where the main character is the hero then you’ll love this book. As an American some of the British slang was hard to decipher but if you understand the context of how the slang term is being used you can figure it out.

Amazing

Amazing. Best book ever. Most likely the best book ever. Very entertaining and excellent. Very good

Inspiring!

The story is fantastic! A fun adventure filled with relatable good characters. Touching, with a good sense of humor. I loved the story very much, and the performance was fantastic. Jamie did a amazing job! I will definitely be getting the second audiobook in this series.

Great

A really great read with an amazing story line with plot twists and magic. If you like magic adventure you will love it.

A wonderful story

If you like the story series Fablehaven, then you will love this book. A great adventure for an interesting sarcastic boy.

loved it

It was very well dictated and riveting. I will re read a few times. Love It!

Kitchen sink of fantasy stories

A little bit of everything. Orphans turning into lords. Telekinesis, ghosts, fairies, queens, evil uncles, beauty and the beast type servitors, little mermaid villains, gryphons, angels, heaven, etc.

Looking at the list you might think I didn't like it, but my daughter and I enjoyed listening to this book on a long ride and finished it when we got home. The characters were good and the narration was great. Overall an enjoyable experience.

The Lost Heir

A child is being searched for by 'family' and a protector.He has no idea who he really is.His parents are dead,he is an orphan.He finds a motley crew and his adventure begins.This book is similar to many young adult books of today.Great narration by Jamie du Pont Mackenzie has us believing every character is real.I was given this book free for an honest review.

so much fun.

I was so surprised how much I liked this story. I want my grandchildren to read it. fun for all ages.

A fun read but borrows many themes from others

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the book, it was a good listen which I was happy to keep turning on during the car trip. Younger listeners were riveted and couldn't wait. Well read listeners will be quick to note the many borrowed themes in the book, orphan gets magical powers at 13, main characters making stupid decisions, history lessons, and an over protective body guard. Despite this I don't think anyone will be disappointed with this book.
