- Michael was born during a blizzard in the late 70's. He grew up in the Northern NY Boonies. Luckily he had no cable TV, but he did possess the power to turn an ordinary stick into anything imaginable. He spent his first decade of life fighting monsters, aliens, and Sith lords. Having been unsuccessfully taught how to sit down, shut up, get in line, and raise his hand to pee, he quit school the first day of his senior year of high school. Along with his band members and girlfriend, Michael took a greyhound bus to California, something he had always dreamed of doing. After nine months and many crazy experiences and soup kitchens later, he and his girlfriend returned to NY with a baby on the way. Joining the workforce with blue hair and no education that mattered to the "real world trolls" he began to work toward supporting his new family. Three years later the family grew with the addition of a baby girl. Michael spent 14 years at a Casino being the best poker dealer in NY, and later as the best boss in the world. (Hey man, I'm just repeating what they say). He has recently quit his day job to focus on writing full-time. Michael is still married to his high school sweetheart.
His hobbies include reading, cooking, gardening, researching the spiritual and mental enslavement of his fellow humans, working out, playing guitar, bass, and drums. He is patiently waiting for the world to take the red pill.
Above all else, Michael enjoys beating the odds. [from the Amazon.com record for Whill of Agora, retrieved 7/9/2014]

I have been slogging through this book on and off over 7 months and I feel that while it will certainly attract the attention of a lot of readers looking for a light hearted romp it is just not connecting with me.
Quite frankly, I just feel that it is sort of boring. It is too reminiscent of the familiar boy of legend with royal blood who is seemingly good at everything trope we have all read time and time again. I tend to feel impatient with Gary Stu MCs and adding a book that hasn't really moved anywhere 1/3rd into the story whose most interesting character (Rhulin aka the King's champion) only appears as a tertiary supporting character for 10 pages at best without any defined aantagonists this far into the story just didn't help to draw me in.
Cobsidering I did buy the trilogy boxset I might be a bit forced to at least finish book 1 to get my moneys worth, I might at least finish book 1 given thw book's one big redemption is its short length. Cheers!… (plus d'informations)
