In this podiobook: A dream, surreal and frightening, begins the path of 12 year old Mark Young's future; a path set long before he was even born. Fortunately, it's not a path he's doomed to walk alone. His course leads to true friends, fortune, and a place where he learns to wield great power.This place is The Seventh Mountain, the place where Magi train. The Seventh Mountain conceals the direst legend known to man. Mark's fate lies within."The Seventh Mountain by Gene Curtis is pure delight. Curtis wields a tremendous imagination and uses it to transport the reader to another world, where sword wielding Magi fight for good, evil lurks just out of sight and a young hero searches for his destiny. Sure to be compared to Harry Potter, but undeniably more compelling." - Jeremy Robinson, bestselling author of The Didymus Contingency

Super cool
I thought this story was awesome! I want to hear the rest and would pay to do so. It was original and super entertaining!
The story is a good start
But I found the narration almost painful. I think the story itself seems undeveloped, almost as if the author has it all worked out in their head, but forgot to tell us about it.
Engaging and likable
I found the characters engaging and the story fun. I look for deeper character development in future books. Mark seems a little mature for a 12 yr old but it is still a lot of fun.
