This was a fun read! I really like the narrator used. He gave such life to the characters! The story is a bit dark at times, though not overly so. The characters are lovable and the magic system interesting. I love the diversity and step away from typical medieval (& very white) stories involving wizards/mages/sorcerers. I was left wanting more by the end.
