Summary
Young Lerris is dissatisfied with his life and trade, and yearns to find a place in the world better suited to his skills and temperament. But in Recluce a change in circumstances means taking one of two options: permanent exile from Recluce or braving the dangergeld, a complex, rule-laden wanderjahr in the lands beyond Recluce, with the aim of learning how the world works and what his place in it might be. Many do not survive. Lerris chooses the dangergeld.
When Lerris is sent into intensive training for his quest, it soon becomes clear that he has a natural talent for magic. And he will need magic in the lands beyond, where the power of the Chaos Wizards reigns unchecked. Though it goes against all of his instincts, Lerris must learn to use his powers in an orderly way before his wanderjahr, or fall prey to Chaos.

in liked the book
I really liked the book, but after doing a little research of all the series only 2 are abouts Lerris or include him.
I don't like bouncing around protagonists in a series much, so I don't think I'll listen to any of the others. but that's just me.
the world is interesting and though I was a little list at some points I enjoyed it.

Could not listen :(
unfortunately for me, the narrator was terrible, very poor with different characters and hopeless with female voices.
what I heard I felt the story is good so I have bought the book to read.

Weird and off-puting delivery of an ok fantasy.
Appalling efforts at verbal sound effects go from merely annoying to completely destroying the flow of the story. Lunacy. I think the story holds up, but had to abandon. The reader suddenly shouting CLICK CLICK, CAW CAW or whinneying like a hourse at random intervals and at tripple volume, can really ruin a book. Kind of Tourette's delivery for masochists.

Never met a main character who gets ‘bored’ so often
Not a bad storyline and it’s your typical fantasy but the main character could do with a little more depth.
One niggle with the story is that you start to wonder how many different things the guy is going to find boring

Boring
As the mc said throughout the book I was bored great if your a carpenter maybe but the only good part was the last half hour hour of the story over all

Narrator stopped me finishing
I was really enjoying the story but the constant vocal sound effects eventually got the better of
me and I had to stop listening. A real shame

good story and adequate narration.
I liked the story. The narration was mostly good, aside from the annoying animal sounds and spoken sound effects.

Slowly builds up
I got a lot more out of the second half of the story. The animal sounds were really off putting.

Good world building
The book was exceptionally realistic in world building. The characters were realistically limited, no omnipotent evil guys to fight here. Liked the book more than expected, will continue the series.
The book apparently contained descriptions of sound here and there: those were challenging to the narrator, but this did not subtract from enjoyment too much.
