|reviewer=Ani Johnson
|genre=Fantasy
|summary=Well written epic fantasy superbly read with a plethora of accents from narrator and actor Matt Addis. You get the feeling that audio books audiobooks were made for people with Matt's talent and this certainly gives him plenty of gore-filled excitement to get his teeth into.

The other cool thing is that Stephen provides twists and shocks right up to the end. We may be able to guess what happens to Talandra after…, but who'd have guessed that about Balfruss? And why, when that thing happened did Gunder not…? As for Vargus, I'm betting there's still stuff we don't know beyond that last page. All I can say is that as ''Blood Mage'' (Book 2) isn't due out till April 2016, it's going to be a long anticipatory winter!
Thank you so much Hachette Audio UK for providing us with a copy for review. We also have a review of [[Mageborn (Age of Dread) by Stephen Aryan]].
Further Listening/Reading: If you'd like to hear more of Matt's narration, we heartily recommend [[Rape of the Fair Country by Alexander Cordell]]
