Easily your most complex main character I've encountered to date. I have no idea if he is ultimately evil or good. There's zero black and white thinking in his actions. While people tend to cling to black and white, it's simply not reality and Auto is an excellent example of that understanding. Your skill at writing is a direct reflection of Auto's own rapid progress from abused boy to master wizard. You never fail to impress me with each story. I had thought children of the void was your best work and said as much. I was so very wrong and I'm happy to be so. keep doing what you do my friend. It is making a lot of people's lives much less boring and expanding perspectives. Bravo!!!👏👏👏👏

[@alexpedraza6573]

Amazing that you put out this books here for free for us to enjoy. I love falling asleep to these stories. I'm excited to see where this story goes, truly unique.

[@benjaminharper2983]

Heck yes, I love this series. The fact that you created a main character that isn't a perfect soldier/100% most honorable wizard is a happy respite. Thank you

[@JamesEWisherbooks]

Otto is certainly neither of those things. : )

[@reptilesrodents]

It's a refreshing change of pace. It seems just a little dangerous... and we love it.

[@scifinerd1911]

Agreed

[@movieloverfan18]

Otto is ambitious and amoral. Likely due to his horrible childhood, in which he was humiliated and beaten and told he would amount to nothing by all the male members of his family, especially his even more amoral father. He does seem to care about the poor, and children, and of course those with magic powers. He is an anti-hero, and I am curious to see if his ambition will push him to be more villainous over time.

[@bryanguzik]

Haha! "While he was no longer sickened by it, Otto still didn't have a taste for torture, and was happy to leave before matters got too unpleasant". Hmmm? A few pages back I seem to recall him PHYSICALLY RIPPING THE SOULS from 50-people in a conveyor-belt fashion. I know I know, he did clarify it was out of necessity and took no joy in it. I think this is what's most important, otherwise I might start thinking he lacked a rock-solid, well-adjusted psyche! -for the record this was not to criticize but to say I was cracking-up. Enjoying your work, thank you.

Kelton reminds me of a Paladin from Dungeons and Dragons. That is to say, he embodies the "lawful stupid" paradigm. He sees someone has done an injustice and demands punishment even if it would doom the entire kingdom around him. Perhaps he would pat himself on the back even as enemy forces were marching on the capital and nobles the kingdom over were in the process of cutting deals of betrayal in order to save their own hides.

[@wildfood1]

Ok, just finished 2 chapters. What impresses me so far about this book is there is no rehashing or review or synopsis of the previous novel. No slogging through what you already know, just to refresh the memory. No explaining how Harry got his lightning shaped scar at the beginning of each new installment. I'm loving this series so far.

Dear James, holy crap! What started out "a bit sinister" in book one developed into something really nasty (which means, great story) and I am absolutely hooked. Trying to avoid spoilers for anyone who reads this, I can only use hints: once the guard loyal to the old king found out the truth, I admit it staggered me. I was not sure whether to keep supporting the new king and his advisor or the guard, purely for moral reasons. That thought has been lingering in the memory ever since. Very interesting :) And now I'm going to start with book three, can't wait :) Excellent story arc so far, great developments, and very entertaining.

I was just trying to bridge the time until the third book of "The King Killer Chronicles" came out and was told to read the Abercrombie trilogy, which took about a week because I couldn't put it away. So, I took to browsing youtube for audiobooks for the first time in ages and stumbled on this series three days ago. First of all, thanks for putting this up on YT for free and for reading it yourself. Second , the storytelling is amazing. I always find that predictable characters are a sign of depth and realism - you understand the characters motivations and know to some degree how they will react to something. When it comes to the story, however, it's the opposite - a predictable story makes a boring book. I have to say you've hit both nails right on the head - characters I can understand and the story - I can't tell where it's going. My adhd brain won't let me listen at anything but 1.75x speed so sadly I'll be done with the series by the end of next week... lucky for me you have quiet the library amassed. Funny enough I find some of the aspects I enjoyed the most about the king killer and abercrombie series reflected in your work. The depth of the characters, the ruthlessness born out of habit, the intricate magical systems, the endless scheming of politicians.... Chapeau to you, sir!

I'm glad you liked it. But I can't claim credit for the awesome narration. That was done by the most excellent Joe Hempel. And thanks for the tip.

Just finished listening to the second part of this brilliant series. A great plot which is fast moving and intricate combines masterfully with the engaging characters.

[@JamesEWisherbooks]

Thanks, you're very kind.

This is my second listen. One of the nice things about re-listening or re-reading a book is that you get to pick up on little things. The one thing that I have noticed in ALL of your books is STEW. EVERYBODY is crazy about stew !!!! lol

[@JamesEWisherbooks]

Who doesn't love stew?

I prefer homemade.

[@swapnasunder2152]

I'm so hooked .. I'm listening to it while I'm at work!!! The best thing in my life right now ❤ thank you so much ❤️

[@JamesEWisherbooks]

You're welcome. Glad you're enjoying the story.

Just starting this second book after finishing the first … these books are so great! It’d be awesome to one day get a tv show or movie series following the story EDIT also as a side note it’s a nice change having Otto not being the classic infallible main character… it’s nice seeing he’s not perfect as it makes him seem like a real person.

Me Too 🙂

[@misaelalejos3224]

Just finished this one. It was awesome 👌. Can't wait to start 3 😁.

I am so happy to be listening to this series again. I was going to watch one of my favorite shows Walker Texas Ranger, but I thought you know what I'm going to clean some guns and listen to this great book. Thank you so much James for all your hard work in making this series great

[@CennaRaven]

I fell in love with this series. Thank you so much! For me, a story stands and falls with its characters. Usually, I don't really like the main character in stories. They all tend to be the same good-hearted hero stuff and personally, I find that really bland and boring. But this, this is brilliant. Otto might be my favorite main character of all times! And there is no annoying love interest, at least not so far. This story really is the jackpot for me. I can't thank you enough for your work and your free uploads here on YT.

Thank you James Wisher for a very entertaining and interesting fantasy/ science fiction novel. With a great presentation and narration that does your wonderful writing its due.

[@fingersfinesilver]

I am really grateful you are still uploading the audio books. I really enjoyed the first one and was led to believe that you were only uploading one. So from the bottom of my penniless musician's heart - many many thanks.

[@JamesEWisherbooks]

You're very welcome. Just out of curiosity, what made you think I wasn't going to upload the rest of the books?

[@fingersfinesilver]

@@JamesEWisherbooks The first video you said that you were only uploading one.

[@JamesEWisherbooks]

Oops, my bad. That was probably my original intention then I changed my mind. Sorry for the confusion.

[@fingersfinesilver]

@@JamesEWisherbooks Your books and your prerogative. I'm just enjoying the books.
