Read Series: Mageborn
by Author Michael G. Manning
Das Erwachen (2013)
i loved this book - enough that before i was through with it i bought books 2 & 3. Fair enough to move to the next one so I can find out where Mordechai is headed.
Der Erzmagier (2014)
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 mi...

Der Bund (2011)
This story was heavier than the first one of the series. I mean that in terms of plot--much more troubles and loss. It's also true of the characters--much more anger and pain. But it wasn't so dark that it weighed down the story. I wouldn't recommend it for kids--too many hard issues raised to ma...
The Blacksmith's Son (2000)
Overall, I would say this book is simply an OK read. All the elements of the story are present and seem to have a lot of potential. The problem comes in execution. Things feel rushed, the author tackles character and plot development at warm speed. The first book if roughly 200 pages, in these 20...
The Final Redemption (2000)
As I close the book, i found the ending is not what i would've like.Nonetheless, the author's vision would have to suffice. Its competently done, but went in directions that i would classify as bittersweet. That is, if one cared about his reputation as the savior of Lothion. On the other hand, hi...
The God-Stone War (2000)
Seven years have passed since Mordecai's battle with the Shining God, Celior, and since that time his control of his abilities has vastly improved. He has at last envisioned a use for the 'God-Stone', but the gods want vengeance and now seek to destroy everything he has built. The secrets of the ...
The Archmage Unbound (2012)
I like the first person perspective, especially from a quirky, cheeky character. The book loses me a little in the plot. The first two books had well structured plots that felt quite smooth and natural. This one feels a little tacked together. It's still an excellent book and the plot works well ...
The Line of Illeniel (2000)
This is the second book in the series and I reviewed the first one a few weeks ago. In the second book, the story gets a bit darker. Our hero has to protect the kingdom against overwhelming odds and his allies don’t all support his plans. When the king worries that he has a mad mage on his hands,...
