Book description
March 15th
Dear Reader,
I just finished listening to Ben S. Dobson's "The Flaw in All Magic" and I'm still catching my breath. What a ride this audiobook turned out to be.
Our narrator, Tane Carver, is refreshingly different from the typical fantasy protagonist. He's a man without magic in a world where everyone else seems to wield it effortlessly. The irony isn't lost on me that he gets called to solve a murder at a magical university - the very same place that expelled him for pretending he could cast spells. There's something deliciously satisfying about this setup.
The voice actor brings Tane's skepticism to life with just the right amount of world-weary cynicism. You can hear the frustration in his delivery when he's forced to work alongside his ex, or when that half-orc insists on being his partner. Speaking of which, the supporting characters feel genuinely lived-in rather than cookie-cutter fantasy tropes.
What grabbed me most was how the audiobook format really amplifies the tension during those moments when the masked mage is hunting Tane. The sound design during the chase sequences had me actually holding my breath.
Dobson has crafted something clever here - a magic system where the protagonist's greatest weakness becomes his biggest strength. The concept that every spell has an exploitable flaw isn't just plot convenience; it's woven seamlessly into Tane's character development.
The pacing keeps you engaged throughout, and I found myself genuinely curious about how Tane would outmaneuver each magical threat.
Looking forward to continuing this series.
Yours in literary discovery,
A Fellow Book Lover
