Book 2

If you could sum up The Sorcerer's Torment in three words, what would they be?

Any additional comments?

This is a good series. Great characters, terrific story line - I will be following this author for sure. I was a little hesitant about a quarter way through the first book but that didn't last long.

Non-stop action filled adventure!

If you’re looking for light hearted, YA action adventure where the character is involved in some sort of near death experience every few minutes including pirates, dragons, ghosts, goblins, slavers, then this is the book for you!
It’s still early days in the story and I’m sure here’s lots more to come, but this part doesn’t leave you wanting.
The narrator takes a bit of warming too, but his pacing has improved greatly from the previous outing and so he does a good job; although his Scottish accent given to the dwarves may not be the finest I’ve heard! :)
All in all, a good use of your credit!
This is a freely given review of a review copy of the audio.

Things don't get easier for hero in book 2

This book picks up right at the end of the first book and things don't really calm down for the young Sorcerer with the saying 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' basically summing up his life so far in these two books.

Azerick's path to become a sorcerer is clearly not meant to be an easy one, while fleeing the problems at the academy he finds himself enslaved and forced to fight in the arena for some time by a creature that is able to control his mind and things don't get much easier for him once he finally escapes this captivity either with him basically going from one incident to the next and the events towards the end of the book would seem to indicate that he is unlikely to get a much quieter life in subsequent books either.

The supporting cast is nicely varied and adds depth to the world as a whole, but the primary focus of the book is very firmly on Azerick so they are mostly there in order to interact with him more than building their own part of the story.

The narrator gives a good performance, having a pleasant tone and getting the pacing right for the story, while ensuring that the cast is suitably distinctive.

I enjoyed book one of this series, but thought this second one improved on it, escalating things well and continuing to make the main character an interesting one that I will be interested to hear more about in the future.

Any additional comments?

This book was provided free of charge in exchange for a review.

The book carried on from where book one ended. The adventures were varied and at times it appeared the hero would not survive. The story line was very good and it was knitted together well. There was never a time when I became bored with the story.

The narrator was very good and understandable.

This series has the potential to be very good. It contains characters with soul and lots of adventure, swords and plenty of magic.
