Product Description

Product Description

Mordecai’s growing power and success have made him a threat, not just to the gods and their minions, but also to the king of Lothion. An unholy bargain has been struck to bring him to heel and increasingly it seems that victory may not be worth the price, not if the cost is measured in the blood of his family. Wizard, lord, husband, father, and now archmage... no man can balance so many roles without sacrificing something. Will the world be worth saving if it costs him the very reasons he has for living in it?

5.0 out of 5 stars The Wonderful Wizard Because...... 18 May 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Wow.

After devouring the first two books in this series, I waited very patiently, and what can I say that will do this book justice?

HARRY POTTER MOVE OVER - You have just been outwizarded by Mordecai. This book is refreshingly different in a well loved genre, and meets all the criteria fans of myth and magic, sword and sorcery could wish for. This book appeals to all ages, and I have to say that Michael G Manning has turned me back to the Dark Side, as I had given up on Fantasy novels over a decade ago, when they all seemed to be too similar. Thank you, Mr Manning, though curse you as well, as I re-read the first two books in the 48 hours preceding release of The Archmage Unbound. Mort is growing in power, and I'm growing weaker. ha ha

I crave sleep now, because from the moment I opened this story on my kindle, I've been unable to put it down. My kids are about to phone Helpline to complain of neglect! Seriously, on reading the final pages, I can't wait for Mort's next adventures. I've only just realised how sleep deprived I am, because I think my kids have left home - or else they're locked in their rooms with their own copies of The Archmage Unbound.

Please, do yourselves a favour, and read this series. You'll be in for a pleasant surprise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Michael G Manning, Full of ideas!! 24 May 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I read and reviewed the first book in this series and loved it. I immediately read the sequel and loved it more. As I came to his work slightly late, Michael G Manning was just about to publish The Archmage Unbound. I waited a few days and then Kindle did its stuff. I guess I had expected the linear storyline of the first two books to continue, but I guessed wrongly. As our hero Mordecai has thrown off the shackles which limited his magical gifts, his skills and powers are allowed to evolve almost unhindered. His intelligence and determination to understand the magical control of his family line together with absorbing knowledge from his current situation, allows Michael to involve his readers as Mordecai experiments and learns how to become more than just a wizard but an Archmage. Michael G Manning isn't happy simply creating a great story with wonderfully written characters, he goes above and beyond, currently proliferating different threads and types of magical ability and control that really enhance the story line and explain some of the limitations upon his hero, his hero's enemies and other magically gifted characters who inhabit this world. The plot did not go in an orthodox direction given the two previous books, yes the overarching start middle and end gets you from 'A' through to 'Z', but I found the journey pleasantly more detailed than I had expected and in parts unpredictable which only added to my enjoyment. The interaction and yes, sexual tension between some of the main characters was beautifully dealt with. As I have said before, writing a critique is a very personal thing, however I would not hesitate to rate this book 5 star as a damn good read and very hard indeed to put down. It's a highly entertaining story. Well done Michael G Manning!
