Nominee, Audie Awards - Fantasy, 2018
Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese.
For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.
Then one night Minalan is forced to pick up his mageblade again to defend his adopted home from the vanguard of an army of goblins - gurvani, they call themselves - bent on a genocidal crusade against all mankind. And that was the good news. The bad news was that their shamans were armed with more magical power than has been seen since the days of the ancient Imperial Magocracy - and their leader, a mysterious, vengeful force of hate and dark magic, is headed directly to Boval Vale, along with a massive invading army of gurvani. The good people of Boval and their spellmonger have only one choice: To hole up in the over-sized Boval Castle and hope they can endure a siege against hundreds of thousands of goblins.
When the people look to him for hope, Minalan does his best, but the odds are depressing: There are multitudes of goblins, and they want Boval Vale as a staging ground for a vengeful invasion of the whole Five Duchies. Add to his troubles a jealous rival mage, a motley band of mercenaries, a delusional liege lord who insists victory is at hand despite the hordes at his door, a dour castellan, a moody, pregnant girlfriend, and a catty ex-girlfriend who specializes in sex magic - all trapped in a stinking, besieged castle with no hope of rescue, and you'll understand why Minalan is willing to take his chances with the goblins.
All that stands between the gurvani horde and the people of the Five Duchies is one tired, overwhelmed baker's son who wanted nothing more than to be a simple village spellmonger.

Geschichte
The goblin invasion is on...and a wizard's work is never done! After facing a hopeless siege, an implacable foe, and an impossible escape, you would think that Minalan the Spellmonger would be able to rest - but the armies of the undead goblin shaman Shereul (known as the Dead God to his human victims) are rolling over the Western reaches of the rustic Duchy of Alshar and is headed toward the heart of the Duchy of Castal. Thousands are fleeing for their lives as hordes of goblins pour out of Boval Vale and devastate the rugged fiefs of the Alshari Wilderlands.

Geschichte
Minalan gets medieval! When you defeat the invading goblin army, get knighted on the field of battle, gifted with lands and gold, usually your happily-ever-after is...happy. But now that Minalan the Spellmonger has been ennobled and enfiefed, Sire Minalan has a task cut out for him that makes defeating goblins seem like child’s play: Moving his very pregnant bride and a few thousand refugees from Boval Vale into the remote, sparsely peopled Domain of Sevendor. But when he arrives, he finds the land withered from neglect, filled with superstition and suspicion.

What does the most powerful wizard in the world do after the war? Despite the hordes of goblins still ready to ravage human lands, King Rard has signed a treaty with them, so Minalan is forbidden from taking advantage of their weak state. Most would take a well-deserved rest over the summer…but Minalan and his household are busy repaying a favor owed to the tribal Kasari for their help in the war, and the Spellmonger pays his debts. So Minalan spends his summer sneaking 2,000 Kasari children through enemy lines and some of the roughest territory in the Five Duchies toward salvation.

But those seven bottles of mead were more than just a folk blessing. As Lord Minalan the Spellmonger began his honeymoon on a decadent river barge with his very pregnant bride, he had no idea that the occasion would have anything more complicated than eating, drinking, and making love on the agenda. But a frantic message from one of the Tree Folk indicating he and Alya may be in danger compels him to skip the lazy repose and travel to a far away ruin to speak with a possibly crazy Alka Alon mage - Lilastien, the Sorceress of Sartha Wood.

When Minalan the Spellmonger was exiled from his beloved mageland of Sevendor by Prince Tavard, his friend Duke Anguin made him Count Palatine of the Magelaw, a vast realm in the Alshari Wilderlands that Minalan is all too familiar with. After the goblin invasion, the province is devastated, ruined, and peopled almost only by freed slaves. But Minalan has brought his recovering wife and family into exile with him, and he views their impoverished fief as an opportunity to build a new City of Magi in the wilderness.

Geschichte
The ancient magic of wizards was anything but dark. It was the enlightenment that lifted humanity from the squalor of superstition, and the worship of fell spirits and capricious gods, but those days are gone. The shining glory of the sorcerers burned away the subtlety of wisdom, replacing it with easy power, held only in the hands of the elite - a new age built upon the elemental supremacy of aristocrats and the ignorance of the masses.

Gewöhnungsbedürftig, dennoch 5 Sterne
Würden Sie dieses Hörbuch einem Freund empfehlen? Wenn ja, was würden Sie ihm dazu sagen?
Eine schöne Geschichte, die recht langsam erzählt ist. Sehr ausführlich erzählt, das könnte einige Leser stören, da schon Längen im Buch vorkommen, insbesondere in Dialogszenen, die sich schon ab und zu mal im Kreis drehen.
Was mochten Sie an der Handlung am liebsten?
Das es sofort losging und die Herkunftsstory des Helden nicht zu viel Platz einnahm, was zu sehr Richtung Harry Potter gegangen wäre. Auch die "historiche Rahmenhandlung" der Fantasiewelt ist in sich schlüssig und gut erzählt.
Hat Ihnen John Lee an der Geschichte etwas vermittelt, was Sie vielleicht beim Selberlesen gar nicht bemerkt hätten?
Der Erzähler der Geschicht liest das Buch sehr schön vor.
Gab es im Hörbuch einen Moment, der Sie ganz besonders berührt hat?
Ja.
Was wäre für andere Hörer sonst noch hilfreich zu wissen, um das Hörbuch richtig einschätzen zu können?
Wie bereits in einer anderen Rezension erwähnt, sind die Rollen der Frauen im Buch sehr reduziert und flach dargestellt. Auch die Abschlussszene der Flucht ist schon ein wenig affig, dennoch ganz nett zu lesen.

Wishfullfillment fantasy
A well-written and engaging wish fullfillment fantasy. Hard to pause once engaged with. The only issues I have with it, is that it might be a little too blatently wish-fullfilling, to the point where it gets rather silly:
"The girlfriend: Tell me again, how you nailing your ex-girlfriend will save all of us!"
The book tries passably to enbue the main-character with convincing enough humility and enough obstacles to overcome that it never get annoying or boring.

Story of particular taste. Quite sexist
The first thing that jumped out to me was that I had difficulties staying focused on the narration. This comes from a mixture of a cliché filled story and a reader who needs getting used to. After a while the narrator was fine for me but not great either.
The story was another thing entirely. Despite the clichés and the needlessly excessive sexism the story had it's moments.
But they did not outweigh the bad.
The story is full of wish fulfillment fantasies. I am all for "realism" and adult themes in fantasy. But the MC came of as a horny teen. Or more precisely a lusty creep. Women where to be bedded and judged by appearance first. There where various scenes which I found problematic (non consensual advances, adult x minors, objectification). That could work if it is a something that gets addressed or acknowledged. But that is not the case, it just happens.
In short the way the women where written made me very uncomfortable and it did not get better as the book goes on.

The story starts fast paced bit loses its appeal quickly. Somewhat predictable. Portrait of Women is horrible. Their single Purpose is to be bedded.

Solid story but mediocre reading
Speaker with a good talent for different voices but alas little talent for emphasis. All sentences have the same "melody"/intonation.
Solid story that makes you want to continue listening, which is all I'm asking for in a story. We can't all be Gaimans.. .

Awesome Series - Great Performance
There are a lot of books in my library by now, a few that I've stopped after a few hours, many that I listened to once, some twice, but this series is addictive. I've listened to it (some parts, at least) over 5 times, now. It's an exciting, funny and wholesome story with great writing and lots of whitty remarks.
The performance of John Lee is awesome, it's a great voice to listen to and he's pretty versatile when entoning different characters, the main ones being easily recognisable after a few lines.
This series was the best cost/entertainment investment I've made at audible by far :-)
I can wholeheartedly recommend this first book and the rest of the series!

The best fantasy series I was lucky to come across
Currently I am past 11th book of the series and I am happy to say, that up to this point not only it did not disappoint, but it actually exceeded my expectations.
Please note, that this is not a deep, philosophical kind of reading. It's not even an A. C. Clarke kind (sf I know, I know). It is light, but not shallow and mindless. It is exactly a perfect level of entertainment: simple and lighthearted, but at the same time complex and with a ton of lore, and well paced.
And most importantly: it doesn't get boring and repetitive. It achieves it through constant introduction of new pieces of the lore - in a gradual manner, layering everything new on top of previously introduced parts. Well, yes, I did not look for inconsistencies and lapses in logic, however, it is sufficiently well crafted that nothing stands-out as an obvious nonsense.
And one more thing. It is an audio book, so a word about voice acting: one of the best I have ever experienced. After eleven books there may have been just one moment which was not exactly working: the first dialog between Gareth and Minalan in book 3. Apart from that all eleven books are voiced in a fantastic way. A pleasure to listen to.
My hope is that as Terry will write new books John will be there to lend his voice and read them for us.
I cannot wait for the next one.
