The first installment of the Fate of Wizardoms series by Jeffrey L. Kohanek, this is set in a realm where wizards reign as gods and rulers. The narrative follows an unlikely band of heroes: a thief, an acrobat, a troubled dwarf, and a seasoned storyteller. Their mission is to assassinate a wizard lord—a seemingly insurmountable task.
Brought to life through the wonderful narration of Travis Baldree in the audiobook rendition, "Eye of Obscurance" is a charming and humorous tale that feels like a D&D game. The characters sparkle with wit and humor, drawing readers into their escapades with charm and wit and with complex and often sad backstories.
Cliché looms with Jace's preoccupation with certain thoughts about women; I definitely rolled my eyes a few times. However, amidst the familiar tropes, the narrative's distinctive voice and vibrant characters manage to carve out a place of their own.
This is an engaging introduction to the Fate of Wizardoms series and I highly recommend the audiobook. Kohanek's writing style, coupled with a group of underdog heroes, set the stage for an adventure that, while not groundbreaking, promises an entertaining journey for those who enjoy dungeons and dragons.
