Summary

Before wizards, the races of magic held the power...
and enslaved humans.

Ian and Vic are brothers. Their lives are simple, and while they might long for excitement, happiness can be found in a hard day's work, a sunny day, or the smile from a pretty girl.

Their lives are turned on end when their village is attacked and they are taken as slaves, destined to labor under the watchful eye of their captors.

The strife that had long dominated much of the world had found them.

Things would never be the same.

Listen and discover how the first wizard came to be.

From international bestselling author Jeffrey L. Kohanek comes a fantasy epic filled with twists, magic, and discovery, certain to keep you enthralled and repeatedly saying "just one more chapter."

Dawn of Wizards 1

Kohanek's Silmarillion, of sorts . Here we have the endvof the First Age. Without too many spoilers we've got several fantasy tropes, young innocent farm boy finds old mentor, learns special powers, becomes the Chosen One and is off to save the World. En route is joined by various characters from various fantasy races and Good fights Evil. Oh and the Hero has IBS!
Whilst fun, this book lacks the pace of previous works and the plot takes a while to step up a gear. As a reader of the Wizardoms series I felt these characters live in the shadows of Jarell and co. I want book 2 to pick up the pace and grab me. Overall I enjoyed at and it really picked once the questing started in earnest. 4☆
