About this listen

When Pentandra got married and took a new job, she knew it would be tough.

Ducal Court Wizard is supposed to be the cushiest of assignments for a mage, full of stipends, laboratories, and expense funds. But when you join the Orphan Duke’s expedition to reclaim, recapture, and restore his shattered realm to health, you have to expect things to be...less cushy.

With the south in full rebellion, the goblins stirring on the northern frontier, and the summer capital being run by a corrupt baron and a gang of thugs, things could be better. But those aren’t the worst of her problems: Pentandra is learning how to live with her new husband, Arborn, while the town is driven to distraction by an incarnate sex goddess who is organizing all of the whores, a mopey spellmonger, a nun addicted to gambling, a prude sent by the queen, undead skulking through the shadows, and a mysterious blind girl shows up in her office claiming to be her new apprentice!

It’s enough to drive any woman mad, but Pentandra is not just any woman...she’s the hope of the Alshari Wilderlands, the woman everyone knows as the Court Wizard!

Love the books and story line , but the first 10 hours of this book so bloody boring, for me had to to start skipping thought hoping the book would get better.... overall not as interesting as previous books

The first 10 hours

I've read mixed reviews about this book but personally I really enjoyed it.

If you just want the next installment of Minalin and a linear timeline, you'll possibibly be disappointed. But if you want the 'whole' story and more detail on Callidore it's an awesome read. Lots of details, but I like details. Despite the details, I still think it moves a long at a good pace and delivers an in depth story on Pentandra and the goings on in Alshar that provides a great understanding to set you up for book 10.

Books 8 and 9 are definitely worth the read although they do run in a parallel time line as book 7, but I'm so excited to get to 10 now. You'd do yourself a dis-service to skip or skim over.

A parallel story but still worth your time.

Firstly, great book!

Secondly, if you plan on reading/listening to the next book, Shadowmage, the second last chapter of this book is roughly a 15 minute summary of the entire book. Shadowmage is a great book with a great story. It is completely ruined if you read/listen to the second last chapter of this book.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE SECOND LAST CHAPTER

Wonderful to have Penny have her own book and it was excellent. My only issue was that it was longer than necessary, starting very slowly and somewhat repetitive if you've just come from the previous book. Saying that it really picks up because she has a lot to contend with as Court Wizard and it is so funny often and also very real - good handle on women somewhat timeless (- women getting bitchy with each other and women being friends with each other, women teaching and helping each other- the roles and capabilities of women and relationships mothers/daughters, wives/husbands etc ) all interesting and really fun to read with the perfect mix of fantasy action and court behaviour and sex magic(- after all this IS Penny). Excellent narration on Audible version as usual and the story connects wonderfully to Mancours next installment which I'm onto next.

Penny's adventures as Court Wizard - what a ride!

I thought that chapter 49 was cut short and finished with a lot of questions that were not answered in the last chapter.
Things like how did they escape the dragon etc

Look I’m a huge fan of the spell monger series and I just want to say first that this is not intended in any negative way at all, its an honest query......
How many times is the word “Femininity” used during Court Wizard?

Love it though 5 stars always

Huge fan
