Already rated this book on my 1st read. I won't change it. I love the story, the characters, the (sometimes impossible) magic (but this is fantasy, right ?), the twists, the sarcasms, the sense of humour and of course, the way the story unfolds and the way it is toldThe amount of things I have missed on my 1st read is incredible though. I truly needed to get over the 1st three books. Now that I am done, I am eager to discover what Mordecai & Co will face.Unpleasant things surely. Well, only one way to know ;) I liked it! The usual tension was there with the separations of the characters. The characters and environment have developed well and I thought it was good that some of them underwent some severe situations. I am eagerly waiting to see how Dorian will handle his captivity. It could go so right and so wrong... Moira makes so much more sense now and I like where things are going, Penny and Mordecai did right with her...
What do You think about Der Erzmagier (2014)?
The Archmage Unbound picks right up where book 2 left off and doesn't disappoint! I love the inner dialog Mort always has going on. The characters develop in a very honest, believable way that allows me to care about them deeply.I cannot recommend this series enough. It's not the "high style" of fantasy Tolkien etc. It's very much like Fiest with much more humor. Manning is able to "spin yarn" in a very very fun way.
