The ancient magic of wizards was anything but dark. It was the enlightenment that lifted humanity from the squalor of superstition, and the worship of fell spirits and capricious gods, but those days are gone. The shining glory of the sorcerers burned away the subtlety of wisdom, replacing it with easy power, held only in the hands of the elite??a new age built upon the elemental supremacy of aristocrats and the ignorance of the masses.

But this will change, for the greatest power comes with knowledge, and the deeper teachings of wizardry have not been utterly lost. The last wizard of the old tradition still survives in solitude, nursing tired grudges and waiting for death.

His passing might have gone unnoticed, but for the imposition of a youth too stubborn to accept his refusal to take an apprentice. With a new student comes new hope, and that hope has caused old powers to stir again. That the world will change is inevitable, but the shape of the future is anything but certain.… (més)

Young boy gets trained by an old hermit in magic.
The story itself is well known - a young boy gets a master that likes him but is harsh in the education. the master dies before the education is complete.
The story itself may not be the most innovative i have ever read but the magic system and the fantasy world this all plays in has a lot of interesting ideas and i am a big fan of "young adult learns magic" anyway. the Characters are extremely likeable and I cannot wait to read the next one.
One of the best books i read this year. Well spent money!

The Choice of Magic by indie writer Michael G. Manning is a straightforward coming-of-age fantasy with some redeeming details. Village boy Will Cartwright has an unsuspected magical heritage. Apprenticed to a curmudgeonly old man who may be his grandfather, he learns wizardry and eventually joins the army. I also enjoy the animal who seems to own the wizard’s house, protects them from the Fae, and is known unaffectionately as “the goddamn cat.” Manning creates a nicely complicated system of magic that distinguishes between the Fare, warlocks, sorcerers, and wizards. The plot moves along well, but I will just say that I hate in medias res endings that are a cheater’s way to make you read the next book in the series. 3.5 stars. ( )
