Summary
Martin and his friends discovered that their world is computer generated and that by altering the code, they could alter reality. They traveled back in time to Medieval England to live as wizards. Almost everything they've done since then has, in one way or another, blown up in their faces.
So of course they decide to make dragons. It does not go well.
As the wizards struggle to control their creations and protect innocent citizens, they try new things (most of which they don't enjoy), meet new people (most of who are angry at them), and fight epic battles (most of which they lose).
But their biggest challenge may be a young girl who knows that the wizards created the dragons and is determined to make them pay. On her side she has powerful allies, a magical artifact, and a faithful if not particularly helpful dog.
Fight and Flight is a rollicking tale of bravery, wonder, love, revenge, greed, discovery, deception, and animal husbandry.

Disappointed
Is there anything you would change about this book?
where are all the past characters from the last 3 books? The story line was built up loads and could go in loads of ways but it all just stopped. The time line made no sense? how long after the events of Todd did this book happen?
For me it just seemed really out of place, like a short story that was rushed to fill a gap.
Has Fight and Flight put you off other books in this genre?
I am bu no means put off this genre or the Magic series, i was just disappointed by this story.
What does Luke Daniels bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Everything, he makes this book what it is.
Was Fight and Flight worth the listening time?
I have to say no. I was very annoyed this was 3 times the amount of the past books and they were FAR better. this story just seemed very out of place.
Any additional comments?
I love the magic 2.0 series. the idea of the world being a simulation that only a few people have found out about is great. there are so many things that could have happened in this book to follow on from the past.
The book felt like it should have been 2/3 chapters and then the story with todd/jimmy was going to continue with other people from book 2 or something like that. Maybe this is what is going to happen but I did just feel odd.
The best part was the last paragraph... Brit and Brit... need i say more?

The weakest in the series so far.
Very much enjoyed the previous books, but this one far less so. There was no actual threat or peril throughout the story and some sections dragged on far too long. The performance was as good as ever though.

Enjoyable, but not the best of the series
What did you like most about Fight and Flight?
The guy who narrates it was spectacular as always.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
It all felt a little flat. The Wizards are a bit overpowered, and (avoiding spoilers) came to the decision that they needed to amp up the drama for various reasons. They always felt too in control, and too "great".
Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I've listened to other books in the series, and he's fantastic. Brings out the humour well, and does some great voices.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
You'll never look at sheep the same way again.
Any additional comments?
There's still some great humour (Phillip still has many of the best lines), and it's nice to catch up with the characters, but I suspect when the series ends, people will consider this a book that needn't have been there. It didn't really add anything new. Like Atlantis or the CGI challenge world thingy. I missed Jimmy too.

Disappointing
I really liked the first three books in the series. This one however barely has a plot, and is mostly made up of drawn out and trite banter between the wizards. We are constantly and explicitly reminded that there are no stakes at all, so there is little or no tension. Narrator Luke Daniels is as always flawless.

Disappointed
Any additional comments?
Really not good. So very disappointed - I had this on preorder as I loved the rest of the series (particularly book 1) which I've listened to 3 times. Literally the only thing I've liked about this book is hearing the characters again - but with a very limited, one-dimensional, storyline, it's boring. I've realised now that for me I think Jimmy makes it - but he's not in book 4 at all. This one is just about the gang dealing with some dragons they've created. With a lot of dramatic shouting by Luke Daniels that also became very grating. I've invested 3.5 hours (a third of the book, so think I've given it a good shot) and intend to return it.
:-(

You already know you love this series
You're already invested by this point. Roll on book 5. Only downside was that this one felt too short

Lots of fun
Really fun story and great voice acting, as always. Can't do a Welsh accent at all though.

Its a good continuation of the story
What about Luke Daniels’s performance did you like?
I cant imagine anyone else other than Luke Daniels doing the story. He is just awesome at it.
Any additional comments?
Its great to be back in the company of Martin, Phillip, Brit, Gwen and the gang, I have listened to the first 3 so many times I have lost count. This story was not an epic adventure, and that is fine. Its a group of friends with magic powers getting into a spot of trouble.

Luke Daniels does it again
My son and I have loved these books, though nothing will beat the first one. Luke Daniels again does a great job with all the characters, my favourite has to be Philip ‘ah yeessss’
