About this listen

Ard and his anchors are off to the capital, but not without his Congratulations—you’re-a-mage horse. Ard has to figure out what it means to be a noble as he struggles with the politics of the capital, fierce beasts and even fiercer rivals. All the while a goddess slips into his household as the staff and works to watch over him and his mother.

Ard has his work cut out for him, but is the capital ready for him? He’s determined to make a mockery of fashion and see what all he can get away with as a not so subtle ‘screw you’ to the new rules he’s been placed under.

Felt slightly like filler

I enjoyed this book, but while other books have a start and a Finnish like a movie, this one kinda left a few strings loose.

Sentar continues another series in style, just... don't eat the ice cream!

a good move towards a more humorous protagonist, engaging world with very solid lore crafting. feels like this one can go very far.

Super performance,interesting story and very funny

What impresses the most here is the performance from the narrators. They do a incredible job. They really make the story come alive and the banter between the characters are hilarious and witty. The story is also great, thou i think i'd preferred it to not be HaremLit, i'd prefer a normal one... probably ^^

It reminds me alot of a good old ecchi/harem anime, BUT with the twist the MC isn't a complete dounce... Hallelujah! Throw in a excellent dab of slapstick comedy and witty banter and this is one of the better listens i've found.

NOTE: I'm writing this after listening to the 3rd Book, and it's a summarize of all 3 books.

great narration, world building plot

This is a fun addition to the Ards oath series: excellent narration and world building. however it feels lacking in terms of progress. a lot happens and some of that feels like it doesn't take advantage of the setup of the prior book. the politics is interesting, but instead of building on the potential two to three relationships the prior book set up we get a new girl who sidelines them all.

there is some excellent comedy here and Chris and Jessica play fantastically in delivering it. Ard sounds like a younger version of House with less cynicism and it works really well. in terms of character he shows growth. I just wish more actually moved forwards. this book feels like it is setting up more plot threads and I hope a few are resolved in the third book. amusingly, this is even mentioned, in how the first book delivered a lot of change and Ard even says he doesn't feel as if much more has happened!

on a technical note the audiobook needs another edit as a later chapter / excerpt appears early and is repeated later which throws you off.

lastly, I hope Bianca manages to get back into Ards life. I feel she has been wasted in this book and would have been an excellent counter to the OTHER princess.

Fun story, excellent narration

chapter 24 has some editing errors where Ard is being taught multiplication only for the exact same lines repeat

otherwise it's a fun story and a great continuation of the series

audio book skips chapters at a time

having read the book I can say with confidence that the story jumps backwards and forwards hours at a time at the drop of the hat.
making it completely impossible to listen too without prior knowledge
if this fault is corrected the book would be 5 stars across the board

Chapters out of order

Liked the book, but this is inexcusable. Please fix the chapter order and this will be a really good book!
