Publisher's Summary

A new series from the world of The Chronicles of Lumineia.

The Last Oracle, book one: Forced into hiding, the mages of Lumineia have been forgotten. In their absence the world has become known by another name: Earth. The humans have flourished with time, unaware that The Last Oracle is destined to unite them. At her touch magic will be unbound and known again as truth. But an ancient war harbors a deadly secret. Draeken, the Lord of Chaos, had a second apprentice, one who became trapped with the defeated fiends. Fueled by revenge and dark magic, he has mastered a power that Draeken himself could not, and the time is fast approaching for it to be unleashed. The Dark is waiting....

The Sword of Elseerian, book two: Led by the mysterious Master, the Harbingers have infiltrated the highest levels of the mage government. They mean to reveal the mages to the world - and then conquer it. To that end they have stolen the Sword of Elseerian and intend to open the portal to Draeken's vast army. But the fiends are gone. In their place another entity lurks. Caged for eons, the Dark feeds on fear...and light. If unleashed on Earth, it will devour every spark of illumination until mankind is left in darkness absolute. Madness and terror will rob men of their minds. Each will become an extension of the Dark, flesh without a soul. The Oracle and her allies have a desperate plan to retrieve the Sword of Elseerian before it can be used. If they fail, the Dark will be released. And the day will have its last dawn.

Descent unto Dark, book three: The Dark has been unleashed. Impervious to mage or man, its almighty power is matched only by its hunger. Unchecked it will devour the planet...until even the dawn is extinguished. Human and creature alike will become twisted, beasts slaved to the Dark's will. The leash is held by the Harbinger Master, who requires a simple offering to stay the impending slaughter. Obedience is absolute.

Loved It!!

If you could sum up The White Mage Omnibus: Books 1-3 in three words, what would they be?

Loved the series. Can't wait to find out what happened to Tess. Is she dead?

What other book might you compare The White Mage Omnibus: Books 1-3 to, and why?

So similar to the Harry Potter series!! Lots of magic, school kids action. Also, Tempest is so like Quidditch.

What does Derek Perkins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Derek is a great narrator. He made you feel like you were actually there, experiencing it.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not possible. Its too long.

Far fetched

Way too far fetched. I didn't realised this was "young adult" it's more like something written by roald Dahl for children. The cover and preview make it seem like this is marketed for adults or young adult at a stretch

Fantastic books

An engaging fantasy world that is thoroughly fleshed out and draws you into the story. I believe it's a good read for any who are a fan of J.K.Rowling works

Do not bother

This was just awful. Utterly uninteresting and unoriginal. I really wanted to like it, but it is hard to find anything good to say about it. The performance by Derek Perkins is fine, but inappropriate for the setting.

I bought this to listen to on a long drive and was just shocked at how bad it was. I honestly would not recommend this anyone.

definitely worth your time

I enjoyed this omnibus from the first listen through to the end. it is a large scale book focused on a small group of individuals and how they can and will affect the world, but it is even more tightly focused on one, the Oracle.
I live how the book starts by telling you everything, then you realise later that you only know a little bit. Sorta like saying "you are destined to be the saviour of the world as we know it... but I have no idea how".
I am now downloading the second omnibus and can't wait to continue that journey.

inconsistent

i haven't read any Harry Potter to have comparison. I found though a few similarities with concepts and names in reference were uncanny. In that comparison with the movie themes and concepts.

Other points was pacing elements in the story was inconsistent. Somewhat jarring to listen to when a chapter tries to subvert your expectations with a twist, but you can see it a mile away.

The villians are also inconsistent, driving points and motivations are not very self aware or established. If anything very cartoonish in portrail.

It's like the Harry Potter tales on Adrenaline!

A brilliant story & trilogy. I'm already downloading book 4 as we speak. :))

Would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good epic fantasy, sci fi, magical tale.

Derek Perkins is a great narrator throughout this trilogy. His deep baritone voice of conviction reminds me a little of Rupert Degas. However, alters to a very decent range to fulfill the more feminine, elderly or magical characters.

The story does remind me a bit of Harry Potter but the main character centres around a teenage girl instead. There are other similarities too but the differences are more prevalent & pronounced as the tale unfolds.

A grand effort which will whisk you away on an epic adventure of good vs evil, light vs the dark.
