Aram would be put on the spectrum, if he lived in 21st century America, and Spencer's portrayal of him is moving and compelling and so absorbing! Not only does he have to deal with truly harrowing monsters and magic and horrific human beings, he moves through his world feeling constantly like an outsider, searching for ways to connect to the people around him.The friendship he develops with Markus is one of my favorite book friendships ever!Pick this book up right now. You won't regret it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid and entertaining fantasy *by C*** on Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2021* 4.5/5THE DRAGON MAGE by M.L. Spencer was a book that intrigued me the moment I heard about it. I was a big fan of her Rhenwars Saga books and was interested in what she might do next. I enjoyed the Chaos Cycle books but they required you to have read the Rhenwars Saga books to really get the most out of them. This was going to be a expansive work and the equivalent of a novel trilogy in one with almost a thousand pages of text. Well, after a couple of weeks of reading, I've finally finished it. What did I think? It think its quite good.Aram Raythe is a young village boy dreaming of becoming a sailor. His potential to do magic, though, is stronger than any other in centuries. His childhood friend, though that's using the term loosely, Markus just wants to escape his abusive father. A bard with knowledge of the old world comes to the village and discovers Aram's gift but, honestly, things repeatedly go south for both with the typical hero's journey being horribly interrupted by unexpected tragedies. Aram is destined to become a Champion but it is questionable whether anyone he knows will still be alive by the time it happens.I should point out that I'm inclined to like it already since I, too, am neuroatypical and this stars a protagonist that is on the spectrum. The people of the fantasy world don't have much of an understanding of autism, however, so Aram is merely "weird." I feel like some of Aram's symptoms are exaggerated but not so much that they are unbelievable.Certainly, I saw some of my own situation in his portrayal. I especially liked Aram's monofocus on knots and how he had a massive cavern full of thousands of knots he'd made over the years. I also liked the fact that he found the idea of mixing food disgusting, though I believe those who forced him to mix them as a way to "toughen him up" were vile and should die horribly. Seriously, worse than Ramsey Bolton, all of them.This is a fairly straightforward high fantasy and if you're looking for Hopepunk, which I still don't get as a title, I think this is a pretty good example of the genre. It is about a heroic young man who overcomes his issues through perseverance to fight against the evil bad guys that are in need of a thorough posterior kicking. I've mentioned in other reviews that I find M.L. Spencer to have been strongly influenced by the Wheel of Time and I still see that here but, despite its 1000 pages, a lot happens with very little padding.Of the two protagonists, I prefer Markus as a character because he's a bit more cynical and pragmatic. He's a guy who is constantly trying to make the best of a very bad situation. Not to spoil the book but at one point, he finds himself among people he utterly hates and would love to kill but just sucks it up because they're the only way he can survive for the time being. I like that as its an unexpected writing choice.I very much enjoyed this novel and I think people looking for an enjoyable old school fantasy novel will find this to be a welcome antidote to the grimdark explosion currently out there. It reminded me of Dragonlance with all its dragon riders, focus on the power of friendship, and other fun. Not to put down this series, but I think the writing is better too (unless we mean the Legends trilogy because I will defend that to the death). Solid and entertaining work. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic, Edge of my Seat Reading *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2021* I have waited for a year or more to find a book that kept me up at night reading. For me the character building and scene building that ML Spencer achieves within the pages of this epic deserves the Hugo, and were it possible the Oscar, Emmy, Tony, Heisman, Stanley Cup, Vince Lombardi Trophy, etc. In case you didn't get the message, I really enjoyed this saga. I don't like to give a synopsis in my reviews because I never know when to stop, so read the author's synopsis. I recommend this book to all readers. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/289473636-dragon-mage-rivenworld-book-1](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/289473636-dragon-mage-rivenworld-book-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
