About this listen

After concluding their first year at Lorian Heights, Corin and his friends catch a train from their native Valia to the distant country of Caelford.

For most, this would be a simple vacation. Corin has other plans:

  • Meet Anabelle Farren, the eccentric owner of Farren Labs, and learn about artificial attunements.
  • Seek out Warren Constantine, a previous Arbiter, for training and a potential alliance.
  • Find the visage Ferras herself to seek a cure for Sera's condition.

Of course, Corin is Corin, and there's absolutely no chance he's going to be able to stick to a list. Even if he miraculously developed a sense of focus, he isn't the only one with plans....

The Blackstone Bandit. Everyone's favorite mysterious book entity. The aforementioned Farren. A vacationing professor. The mirror of a figure from Keras' past. When their plots intersect, Corin and his friends are, predictably, stuck at the center.

It's going to be a long vacation.

Good enough to compel me to write a review!

As per usual the voice acting was outstanding and the story, while not as focussed on progression (characters or story), provided a wealth of much needed background information and insight into the different magic systems in the universe.

10/10 would buy this book in order to listen again (although I don’t have to).

Fantastic addition to the series

this book suffers from Middle book syndrome, there is no real conflict and no real resolution.
