Summary

All Dag Gates wants is a place to call home. (And to practice magic freely.)

All Stefan Bjorne wants is peace in his adoptive country. (And less paperwork.)

All Mikkel Vinters wants is both of them. (No, really, he could do wedding bells.)

So why, pray tell, is half the magical community set on denying them all their wishes?

Enjoyable story

Loved the characters, would have liked a more satisfactory/bigger squish of the villains. Enjoyed the three narrators’ performances, they were v good.

If you enjoyed this, I think the author’s Mage’s Guide to Human Familiars has the slight edge on this - also 3 men and magic :)

Interesting story, lovable characters and I love it when the baddie gets theirs!

This was a great listen. The story was engaging with plot that kept me interested. The characters were intriguing with backstories that added depth. I look forward to the rest of the series!

Excellent story, narration good, but accents dodgy

Loved the book, loved the audiobook, but narration could be better when it came to the voice of Mikael (not sure of spelling of name). He is meant to be Scandinavian, but his accent changed throughout. One minute it was heavily African, the next like an elderly heavy smoker. What it wasn’t was Scandinavian. It wasn’t great. However, the sound quality was excellent and the rest of the voices, even Stefan who was also Scandinavian, was consistent and good. Overall, a nice book to listen to.

Hhhhmmmm

I normally love all AJ Sherwood’s books especially the audios, but I think the 3 narrators through me off. I’ve listened to books with 3 narrators before and it’s been fine, but I couldn’t into these 3 together, voices jarred me to much out of the rhythm of the book. Waiting for the next book and I hope I can get back in my AJ Sherwood flow.

an interesting story

I enjoyed this book, it held my interest from start to finish. The characters are interesting and very likeable and the story itself has enough to hold the readers interest all the way through. The one big negative is the narration, given that two of the three main characters are Scandinavian and none of the narrators managed to get within a thousand miles of a decent (or believable) accent, I can only give an overall four stars .
