The First Wizard

Dawn of Wizards, Book 1

By: Jeffrey L. Kohanek

Narrated by: Pavi Proczko

Before wizards, the races of magic held the power...
and enslaved humans.

Ian and Vic are brothers. Their lives are simple, and while they might long for excitement, happiness can be found in a hard day's work, a sunny day, or the smile from a pretty girl.

Their lives are turned on end when their village is attacked and they are taken as slaves, destined to labor under the watchful eye of their captors.

The strife that had long dominated much of the world had found them.

Things would never be the same.

Listen and discover how the first wizard came to be.

From international bestselling author Jeffrey L. Kohanek comes a fantasy epic filled with twists, magic, and discovery, certain to keep you enthralled and repeatedly saying "just one more chapter."

story

Great plot. fast, well written funny and smart. Great narration. love it. If you like sci-fi fantasy you will love it too.

Slow but brilliant

Have to say Pavi is one of the best narrators of this genera of LitRPG and epics, his tonal range and voice changes are epic.
Keep up the good work!!

The story is amazing, it is a wee bit slow but the world building and the involvement of the characters is top notch. Can’t wait for the second book to see where they go and how they progress!
Way worth the credit!

I loved the growth of the characters

the book was amazing the second book was just as fantastic the cliff hanger in the second had me wanting third book already

Great 1st book

I really enjoyed the process and journey. The story evolved well. Some of the situations seemed forced. Like of course there is a prison break…. But it was good. I enjoyed the story and narration

great story

the second book isn't available on audible and i hope it will be in the future.

Compelling story

The story has a bit of a slow burn for almost the entire book, while there are changes throughout the story it never really takes off at any point. I’m hoping since it started to pick up in the last few chapters that it’s just a slow world build for the next book. Other than the it did maintain a pretty constant pace and I think the next book/books will improve it

Great story but Pavi made sold it

Overall, it was a good fantasy story line. The arch was a bit obvious and for anyone who has read similar books and you could generally tell where it was going. The opening was a bit expected, but the the characters were well written and the author was impressive. His story telling does stand out for someone with a smaller volume. However, the truly outstanding part for me was Pavi's narration. As always, be brought the story to life and made it a truly memorable experience. About half way through the book I already purchased the next and look forward to seeing what comes.

Great author at it again

Incredible world building as always, definitely read this. I read this after the Wizardom series and felt like it falls into good timing that way.

A+

An amazing book , well written . I’m very picky , and I finished it in a day or so , couldn’t stop listening. Glad I took a chance on it !! Hope you do as well

Don't agree with his description of the races.

I don't like how to portrays the races but other than that it was a good listen.
