Critic reviews

"A fantastic book...Nelson Chereta has a unique talent at writing witty dialogue and engaging characters. He also has that rare gift that manages to successfully infuse humor into the story, without cheapening it." (Fantasy Muse)

So! Good!

New author and narrator for me. Wow I need to get the next book. Funny, clever, and so much irony; a very enjoyable listen 😁 Loving this world Nelson has created and Gary is a great narrator.

funny

funny dark understanding of the magic world, with a little bit much for thinking of a " sorta way" of thinking about things.

Funny as hell

Dont think i have laughed out loud so much from any book ever. Its a simple book that uses the main characters upbringing as a gag and it works great

Ends abruptly

The story had me laughing aloud, but the ending is abrupt. There are some scenes and language that are inappropriate, so don't listen with the little-ones in the car.

Where is the rest of the story?

Wait this can’t have ended! We are only half way through the story. Why the abrupt conclusion?
