Firstly let me say the book had something going for a second and a second only and that second it was going was in the first installment which I got for free and maybe it being free made me not more critical of the story that followed but I digress; This is my review of the first two books in the series , The first book mAybe 100 pages or so was unique especially the way magic casting was being used but that idea didn't get far, another point was the weakness from the magic nothing groundbreaking or new concept but it was something to restrict the hero from being op yet that went down hill as well, I mean I understand he grew up playing rpgs and D&D but to many inconsistencies with his casting similar spells and either being weakened by them or able to battle hundreds of soldiers just  because his will and resolve was strong. The story was literally here and then over there multiple times, the only part of the story that was descriptive was the millions of inns and every detail of roasted duck being explained which is cool but when you don't even explain or describe the characters the hero comes in contact with its throws flags. Also how is it possible for him not to have a healing spell when he said a few times of role playing a warrior cleric?  So that was a downer but he can call on nature to lend him strength and drain individuals of magic which a non mAge brought to his attention after all the explanation of rarity of mages and the hate and dislike toss there way. So, i played for the second book just to see where this is going and I'm glad my bus ride is over and I'm at my destination because this was one draining experience and I'm 100% sure after reading the reviews and description of the next titles I can finish the series here and move on. I will not recommend nor tell anyone I have read this nor will I let this hold space in my kindle either. Peace
