  • I was a big fan of Mage Errant, so I’m excited to be here for the start of a new series with Bierce.
  • I'm a big fan of the Mage Errant series, which one me over despite the fact that I'm more mixed on the progression subgenre writ large.
  • I enjoyed Mage Errant too but this one felt like it stepped up to the next level.

  • Mage errant by John bierce
  • It was OK, the ending isn't the best imo.
  • I found alustin and the world interesting in concept but ultimately bounced off and never finished the series; it skewed a little YA for my taste.

I won't act like the series was a masterpiece, but it was some of the most enjoyable and feel-good series that I have read. The magic system was really interesting and explored in ways I'd never expected, the friendship between the four main characters was genuinely heartwarming, the series was way funnier than I expected

Read the first few and really enjoyed them. Wholesome little book series. Nothing but good things to say about it.
