this is my favorite epic fantasy book. also, the narrator of the audiobook (Nick Podehl) is absolutely incredible. it switches between third and first person since the main character is basically telling his life’s story. has a really interesting magic system, the prose is amazing, and the humor sprinkled throughout is superb.
kinda the coming of age story of a genius orphan kid trying to make his way in the world
