Thea is a washed-up mimic exterminator who expected more out of life, not some hero from stories. Aven is an impulsive wandering adventurer whose personal goddess is constantly getting her into trouble. Neither of them has the slightest interest in getting involved in world-shaking historical events.
History doesn't care what they want, unfortunately. It's fallen right into their laps in the shape of a god-slaying weapon from a fallen civilization. Thrown together out of chance, Thea and Aven will have to learn to work together if they want to survive their pursuers.
Because if they fail, and the weapon falls into the wrong hands? The results won't be pretty. No one's going to be using it on some random street corner goddess, teakettle god, or any of the other countless teeming millions of divinities on Ishveos.
No, there's one target that sits above all others.
Cambrias, whose watch never ends. Cambrias, whose power has given rise to Cambrias' Wall, the greatest city in the known multiverse—a city that has already covered much of a continent and is strip-mining entire mountain ranges for space and building material. A city that threatens to spread across the entire surface of Ishveos.
And there's no shortage of folks willing to kill Thea and Aven in order to stop the Wall, no matter the consequences.

narration was solid. I'm not overly picky myself, but couldn't find anything that detracted from my experience.
overall, a 5/5 for me

Great job John. Now get back in your writing hole and keep writing.
I don’t usually bother to rate, much less review.

Bierce also flushes out another fascinating world of magic and politics while further examining perspectives of living under a fantasy empire. He at one point gets quite detailed regarding the economics of the prayer system (theonomics) which I loved.
The narration I also enjoyed. I did notice that the accent chosen for one of the characters was contrived. However, I did not notice until halfway through so make of that what you will.
Overall, strongly recommend!

But also magic.
It’s a nuanced take on real world problems while also being an incredibly fun adventure set in an incredibly interesting magical world.
I’m left with questions on how Mage Errants great powers would fare against a divinity!
Can’t wait for the next.
How do you follow up Mage Errant?
