About this listen
The Guild of Arcane Regulation has fractured, and new forces move on the board. Callum cannot quite declare victory, for even a weakened GAR still forces him to hide from the world at large, yet he is no longer prepared to run. Instead, he builds his own strengths to stand against those who wish to do him harm.
Change, once started, is hard to stop. Callum’s actions have brought change to the world of the supernatural, but that can bring chaos and destruction even as he eliminates tyranny and corruption. He has to move beyond being one man against the world and stand in the world he’s made.

Story
Callum had seen things all his life. There are monsters and beasts living among people, but he learned very early not to admit such things, not if he didn’t want people to think him crazy. It turns out that the supernatural is real, but at 30, Callum has no desire to be part of that secret. Not that he has a choice when it turns out he is a mage, albeit one that hasn’t cast any spells in all his life. There are requirements, duties, and education that the powers that be insist he be subject to. To hell with that.

Story
In a former life, Jack was gifted, meaning he possessed peculiar abilities. If rich folks found themselves in a jam, Jack could use his talents to get them out of it. Where others were sure to fail, Jack's aristocratic clientele could always count on him to finish jobs cleanly, efficiently, and leave no trace, for which his services commanded a hefty fee. But one day, Jack picked a fight with the wrong man and his old life came to an end. But, as it turned out, his story was far from over.

The academy is a dangerous place; the tournaments held twice each year can cripple or kill the students, and the clans of the empire will go to great lengths to recruit the students they want. Gregory had one dream: to become a magi like the legends of old. Though he was ridiculed by the residents of the village and his unsupportive father, he never wavered from his dream.

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

Good story, terrible narrator.
The story is great but the narrator makes it difficult to enjoy. The voicing of the main character and typical non-character parts sounds normal but anything else is just off-putting. Any female character either sounds like Mickey mouse or stilted. Non-human parts are just as bad.

Loved it!
I absolutely loved it!
The only thing I find annoying at all is the narrator's voice when doing some of the fae voices. I'm not sure how you'd term it, "flowery", "nasal", etc, but I don't like it.
The story is so much fun. The main character just being so insanely paranoid is just a lot of fun.

A good continuation
The world continues to change as the old ways break down but the replacements are still not in position. The supporting cast is great in this book, especially Felicia and Ray.
I am very much still enjoying the serise so please take the bellow complaints as whinging and nit-picking.
Callum is becoming less interesting as a character. He's still thinking with portals. The magic research is fun but he did not experience any character growth. To me it felt like his growth was all Lucy.
I find the falsetto that Jeremy Frazier uses for Lucy grading. His other female voices, eg Gayle are fine.

No spoilers, the story and everything about the plot I love but it can be a little slow with sudden burst of action, kinda like real life. Hope there is more exploration soon
