Summary
Mordecai has discovered his heritage and must take up the mantle of a lord of the realm, while figuring out what it really means to be a mage of the line of Illeniel.
He is beset on both sides by allies and enemies trying to control or destroy his future. Gods and kings both seek to manipulate him for their own ends, and no matter what he chooses his loved ones will suffer. Will he risk destroying his love with a bond that might be her death, or face the madness that comes to wizards who embrace power without restraint?

First book was great, this one is Incredible
Now I know why some people complain about Art of the Adept. If THIS is the sort of stuff Manning wrote before it then I can absolutely understand the complaints now.
After book 2 I've come to the conclusion that Mageborn is nothing short of an incredible fantasy series. It's not perfect, there are certain moments where I did have my hesitations about the direction the story was going but moments like that are short lived.
I suppose that's one of the strengths of writing books that aren't 20+ hours long, the parts that drag a bit won't drag for long. You get past those moments fast and what happens outside of them is nothing short of brilliant.
There are very few audiobooks that have gotten 5/5 from me but this is one of them, I only hope that rest of the series, followed by Embers and Champions series keep up this standard of writing.

Utterly brilliant
Mr Manning has produced a series of pure genius. If you like Tolkien, Martin, Mancour or Jordan’s epic saga’s you are sure to enjoy this. The characters have depth and the narrative is sublime. It has laughter and sorrow in equal measure and some hidden gems of “how will he get out of this one”. I started out listening to Thornbear and was captivated. I particularly love Alex Wyndhams narration, the voice and what it brings to the characters is key for me.
More, more, more.

Worth every minute!
What can I say? The book was wonderful and I finished it all in record time. Although it’s not a very long book, I am a mother of two so I listen throughout the day and whenever I can fit it in and I got this one done and just about one sitting it was very good. The only thing that did kind of irritate me was Penelopes character in the beginning of the book . As a woman, I appreciate the fact that our dear author writes some of his female characters, strong and willful. But, her character was getting out of hand with that a bit and it started to annoy me. However, it was remedied by the end of the book in a way that made the book more interesting and either way it didn’t impact how many stars I gave it, because I would’ve gave it 10 stars if it was possible!!!! Anyway, as I said, the book was wonderful and I’m off to book 3.

Amazing!
I liked this narrator way better than the 1st book! I found myself here after going through the Art of the Adept Series. I fell in love w the writing and needed more! Michael Manning nails it! If you love fantasy with realistic human nature this is it! Another writer that made me wonder how I hadnt found him sooner.

How different!
I love how it’s fantasy but different enough to keep me interested. Feels nice not having a main character constantly being tortured but rather grow.

Not bad…
It’s not horrible. There is nothing about the book that is entirely original but it is written ok. My biggest issue is with the main character. He demonstrates almost zero common sense and has been consistent the entire series…I typically would expect the protagonist to get wiser but he never seems to learn from his mistakes which is very annoying.

Gripping, caring, great narration
Anyone liking adventure and to get ur emotions wracked… this book has it all. It’s dark sometimes, emotional to the point of crying tears, but that’s because you find yourself caring. Well done! In for a penny, in for a pound ;)
