This audiobook continues the story of a young Sorcerer search for a life of security and happiness, but just when things seem to be working out for Azerick, someone else tries to murder him! I really enjoyed the character development in this book, as we see Azerick coming more into his own and developing into a humanitarian almost by accident. There are some great new characters in this story, with Grick the goblin being one of my favorites. His no nonsense attitude, loyalty, dry humour and quiet intelligence is great. In this story we see some closure for past events, magic, action, political intrigue, assassins and the ripple-effects of Azerick’s actions. Trouble always seems to find him and even though there are less battles in this book, it still seems that no matter what he does there is always someone who is trying to do him harm. The narrator did a good job and his range with the characters is improving from book to book. I am enjoying this series and look forward to seeing where Azerick’s adventures will take him next.

Azerick is really not shy about finding, and almost making trouble in this book. I loved it every single time. We all know the kinds of people that one might find sometimes in a dark alley, or persecuting another. Azerick clearly shows what he thinks of such people. I guess he had enough of the universe forcing crap on him and he decided he was going to start manufacturing the Good he thought the world should have. Azerick surprised me sometimes with his generosity, and I wish exactly how big his hoard of treasure from the dragon was.
Either way, I really enjoyed watching the story unfold as William Turbett kept on. I'm really coming to appreciate him in this role. I'll just note here that it's been a similarly pleasant, if not marginally better performance from him here.
Anyhow, we meet some new characters, and each of them has a nice place to carve into the story. The ripple-effects of Azericks actions and the ongoing changes and what-ifs really made this a 'page-turner' for me :) This book leaves off with so many different events and plot lines at a point where it feels like all the various burners are boiling and ready to overflow. Even though this book is much more about developing Azerick and new home, we do learn about and encounter some really critical story elements from other perspectives. The hints of political intrigue, assassins, magic, and might had me really devouring this book. Thanks again for the listen, Mr. Deskins! This is a great series!

The most anticipated confrontation after 4 arcs of the story: The Rook who killed his father and the only sorcerer in 100 years... and Dobby the House elf emerge victorious. I was laughing my ass off, and severely disappointed at this development. Most of the excitement and mystery is gone for me, all that is left is the plot and anticipation. But still I wonder if, just if any more tragedies will befall Aserick's kin.

The saga continues!
Fun read! Lots of parts are starting to come together which makes the book feel like it’s humming right along. DO NOT read this without reading earlier installments, you won’t be completely lost but you’ll miss some nuances that make the story make sense. Parents, if your kids have read the first few books than you know what to expect. I’m looking forward to book 4!

Entirely based off of the audio quality, which sounds like a nasally voice yelling at a tin can, I am docking 2 stars. I can't say much about the book due to fixating on the listenability. If you want to give it a fair chance, don't waste your time on the audiobook. Attempted mitigating the audio issues by running through a filter and equalizer, helped significantly, but just not enough to keep listening.

This is definitely the best book of the series so far by a wide margin. This author is probably one of the best I've read in the while. They should change the summary for the books though it throws of what the books are actually about and deflates possible readers.
It's kind of like name of the wind meets the mountains rise.

Book 3
Book 3 was a fun read and had errors throughout. There was information and chapters that did not fit well within the story. I'm sure it has a purpose but not really sure what it would be.

Gets better and better
This book sets up a lot of things for the next books and the initial part acts more like a filler showing the other side of Azerick. But towards the end the plot thickens and sets up a great ending to be followed in the next book.

Fairly exciting
It has its moments. The depth of character is good and the plot is a bit interesting. Still a bit slow here and there.

Another amazing book! This book is even better than the last one! Now I'm about to jump into book 4 :)

Some new characters are introduced and time is spent on them for a bit. Plot continues to confuse with the search for the armor drawing to a close. Rook returns and there is a nice twist to his tale. And Azerick goes from solo act to a gigantic family all in the space of a few pages. All is as expected from Brock. Read on

This series keeps getting better. What I love most about this book is that Azerick acts nothing like one expect from an RPG character. The process of just trying to build a life for himself turns out to be a whole lot more complicated than anyone would have guessed. His character, while consistent, continues to grow in new and interesting directions.
The larger conflict also moves along and we are kept guessing as to who is the real power behind all that is going on.
Highly recommended.

Azerick decides to put his quest for vengeance behind him. He takes on an apprentice and opens a school and home for North Haven's homeless children even as Ulric's schemes throws the kingdom into chaos. Hoping to create a life of peace and purpose, the young sorcerer finds himself in a struggle every bit as great as battling in the arena. Azerick quickly realizes he has taken on a task he cannot possibly do alone and calls upon his friends for help. He thinks he has managed to put all the death and destruction behind him until an assassin strikes from the shadows. Azerick realizes he and his new family will not be safe until he puts an end to those who threaten them once and for all.
This book really expands on what we already knew and introduces more of the story. The bad guys are somewhat out of the shadows, and taking direct action. Though I thoroughly enjoyed the books, I feel that Az is getting by with too much luck, his magic skills have not improved at all since moving to his new home. I dont want him to be invincible, but his luck in battles is are getting ridiculous and strong people/creatures meet their end in a most disappointing ways. Then there's a goddess that is very much interested in him, we have a few references to her here and there when they speak. His life even though he does not come from a place of evil, but one of necessity, he has sent a lot of souls to her. Great Reading Everyone!

This series is great, the editing needs a lot of work, I cringed quite a few times and found myself correcting word choices and grammar, but the plot is amazing. It is engaging and has plenty of twists, but I find the adventurers a bit one dimensional, and not extremely entertaining to read about, but it wasn't all that bad. The characters didn't change much throughout the book, but regardless of its faults it was an amazing book.

The Sorcerer's Path is an excellent series with everything I enjoy in a good fantasy series.
Not only is there great character development there's also plenty of action, humor, and emotional moments to keep you riveted.
So, if you haven't read the Sorcerer's Path series then give yourself a treat and do so.

I liked the world and the situations, but the main character is t0o inconsistent for me to continue. Telling a young girl she's going to go into slavery if she can't do something and various other actions like that makes him too inconsistent for me. If you want a decent story and can ignore the actions of the characters you'll enjoy it.

Azerick is tired of all the killing and violence and just wants to create a home for him and his new apprentice. Book 3 brings in some great new character and brings back some old ones. Great character development focused more on good dialog and scene setting.

Getting better. Still some issues and inconsistencies but it's improving and I'm hopeful that each subsequent book will be better still.
