It was a fun read. Young apprentice's master gets killed and he has to run from a stronger wizard. The final several chapters were the only real unexpected plot.
If you're looking for something light and easy to follow, it's a good choice.

the main character goes trough changes.. one worst than the one before, from a brat into a coward, to damn careless, to a jackass, to full retard.. this is a story of rinse and repeat' always committing the same mistakes over and over again, and the end is the most moronic and cheap that I have ever read' Spoiler.: this book title should have been Mage4awhile! or the 2YeasMage! or.. the Inconsequential Adventure.
P.D: the ending felt rushed, was this publication axed?

A fun, light read - would definitely recommend
Enjoyed the series very much. Lighter in tone than my usual fantasy fare, but very enjoyable nonetheless. Story moves along quickly and focuses completely on the main character, unlike many other fantasy novels, with their seemingly endless cast of characters and complicated relationships. Perfect vacation reading material...just enough story to sink your your teeth into, the tale moves along quickly (but not too quickly) and the ending leaves you feeling quite satisfied (though still slightly curious about what might happen next).

This was a fun book. I read it (them) in a day. When you read The Complete Series, it reads as a single novel. It read a lot like many of the books that I loved so much as a teen and young adult. Situations arose and were dealt with, without much background building up to the new scenario. Had it been written for an older audience, I'm sure the author would have fleshed out the interludes between the conflicts. Never-the-less, this was a fun book that I shall probably read again.

A tapestry well woven
As the magic was gathered and woven so we're the threads of this tale.
Although it follows a pattern that pattern is enriched with skillful plotting and writing.
I want more from this author.

A Charming Spell Caster
Although written for far younger readers than I am, EverMage is full of rough and tumble sorcerous battles where a young apprentice learns that, sometimes, magic isn't what it's cracked up to be. I enjoyed tagging along.

EverMage
A multi book set, good but great. Enjoyable as a whole, I found the lead character too often calling back into actions and hoping he would finally grow up. The wizard duels were wonderful and the gotcha real grounders.

Great read...
Brings me back to the good old days of pure stories of magic without the accompanying swords. Easy to read, flows well, and an enjoyable easy read. I recommend it!

The first book started out slow but quickly picked up the pace. The MC acted more like a 12 year old boy than his purported 17, and his maturation during the series was like an early teenager that was on his own. There was a lot of graphic death during the boys travels without any real angst or guilt, which was definitely not typical at all. The action was surprisingly intense and interesting but the story felt a bit rushed and lacking. Good series overall, but nothing to write home about.

I liked EverMage by Trip Ellington. I don't read fantasy type stories often, but not too far off my regular reading genre. The characters are believable, likable and hateable, with great world-building, and a good story line, everything you need to have a good story. Give it a go.

Simple fun magic story
The world is simple and the magic system has a few holes in it. But the main character is likable enough.

Life's path
All in all a great read. A few twists and turns keeps the reader interested in what is about to happen.

A really good wizardly romp
Never a dull spot in this book. Keeps you wanting to read more.
Sadly it didn't sound like there would be a book two.

Reader thoughts: The six "novels" were short and very basic. Each had three characters (sometimes a fourth!) and almost no characterization. It was like a 200 page book with six intros, six climaxes, and one plot. The writing itself was fine, nothing special.
Yet, despite the book feeling just average, I did enjoy it. The tale moves quickly, and it's not hard to keep track of the story and characters. The magic isn't fully explained, but it's okay. I wanted Mithris to succeed in finding all six of the foundation crystals.
Writer thoughts: I could come with theories for why the books were so short and originally published separately. One could be the author felt more comfortable with 40-page stories rather than one full-length novel. For me, writing my 75-page novella, Risky Perception. was refreshing and much easier to navigate than my 450-page novels.
Whatever the reason, this format did keep the plot moving quickly. It was odd to have six intros and six rising actions and six climaxes, but it did help the reader feel like the plot moved quickly when we have an epic wizard battle every 40 pages or so.

Mithris is a wizard apprentice and he hates doing the same thing everyday.... until.... the day comes when his masters tower is attacked by another wizard and Mithris is to run away with his masters 2 most prize possessions. But to overcome the challenges he will face, he must dig deep inside himself and find the strength and courage to become what he never thought he would become, but can he do it in time?
This was a really great story, at first I thought it was just a wizard vs wizard story but than it went so much further beyond that. The action and adventure just rolled throughout the whole book and narrator Faust Kells did a awesome job with all the characters, so if audiobooks are your thing you will love this one, it is one not to be missed.

This is a pretty well-written coming-of-age fantasy. It's supposed to be a series, but the individual books must have been awfully short, because all together it adds up to one normal size book.
There's a decent balance between action and character development. The magic system is based on ley lines that cross dimensional boundaries in a multiverse. Several of the characters are magically powerful crystals that can communicate with the main character, an apprentice becoming a wizard.
Almost no romance makes the plot less than ideal for my taste. The ending is quite a surprise, and moderately satisfying.

A great whimsical fantasy with a bumbling mage in training, and talking rocks! I loved it, and so do my grandkids who are currently working their way through it.

This book was a joy to read. Starts off very fast and does not let up at all! The characters were fantastic. If you want some good escapism, read this book.
