Summary
Young wizards coming of age in a time of war.... Will they be ready?
Eynon was excited to leave his village and set off on his wander year. He’d turned 16 today, and hoped for at least a few adventures.
At high noon, he arrived a crossroads and saw a shimmer of silver in the mud. It was a thin and dirty oval, about the size of his palm. He washed it with squirts of water from his goatskin, then marveled at what was revealed.
It was a silver amulet, worked with complex, interlaced designs. An oval blue gem more than an inch across, with deep facets, was set in its center. The silver danced with reflected sunlight and the gem seemed to be filled with sparks. It was the most beautifully crafted thing he’d ever seen.
Eynon noticed strange writing on the back of the amulet. As he raised it to eye level for closer inspection, one of his fingers inadvertently pressed a small stud on the edge. A tremendous blast of blue fire shot out from the gem on the opposite side, striking an ancient leafless oak and turning it into a flaming torch.
Someone behind him whistled. Eynon dropped the amulet, afraid of what else it might do, and turned to see an old farmer, leaning on a shovel.
“Well, young man,” said the farmer. “It looks like you’re going to need a wizard.”

Ok but not Brandon Sanderson
Nothing wrong with this book. However, I can't work out if the author or the narrator meant this story to come across as an Edith Blyton book. For most of the story I kept waiting for any of the characters to suddenly say "Gosh Johnny let's see if mummy has orange juice, and I wonder if Timmy can come and play", that sort of toon. Feels like a children's book. Wont be reading anymore of the series.

Loved the book but not the "ending"
A coming of age story for 2 of the main characters set against a long/rich? historical backdrop. At 10.5 hours I cant say the author short changed anyone. However I would have love to have been able to buy book 2 the moment I finished book 1.
I hope once book 2 is available the first chapter is added to book 1 as an Ad - this would promote sells and hopefully round off the 1st book....

Peter Kenny does well
The characters felt very childish at times and many details were glossed over when it came to understanding magic. I think it's let down by both the characters grasping concepts of magic so fast, there was no real growth as the characters were handed the tools and knew how to use them almost instinctively. Perhaps future books explain why this was the case, but in this instance I was left feeling a bit let down
