Very Interesting. I found this audio book very interesting. I had not read or listened to any fantasy magic type books before. This peaked my interest and I think I will be reading more from this author. The story was really intriguing and it kept my attention through out the whole thing. I found the characters Blaise and Gala very likeable and Augusta kind of mean and revengeful. I wanted to know what happens next to Blaise and Gala. When I first started to listen I thought oh wow 7 hrs to listen to it, but then when it was over I said “Already Done?” I wanted it to continue. I really wanted to learn more about the magic and the spells. I took away the message from it that you should not judge before you know who or what a person or being is. I thought the narrator was very good, she keep the pace of the book even.

The sorcery code. It’s amazing! A book of adventure,love, morality, friendship, responsibility, and much,much, more!

If you enjoy thought-provoking fantasy, you'll love this book. I listened to the audiobook version, but the ebook is quite a bargain and I love reading on a reader; never thought I would. I have always liked the fantasy genre, but, it had been some time since I had read much besides non-fiction (I edit academic and business writing, mostly, for a living) or a script (I direct theater). Anyway, The Sorcery Code was a fun trip back into fantasy. The book is paced very well and there’s plenty of action and some surprising plot twists. I really liked the conceit of Blaise as a sort of socialist scientist/sorcerer! And I got very caught up in machinations of all of the characters. They were fleshed out quite well and seemed complex and three-dimensional. I would recommend this book for fantasy fans, for sure.

Innocence and Intrigue at its Best. Normally, I don't like romance in the fantasy novels I choose to read. Surprisingly, this novel balances romance elements with the fantasy genre really well. Even though the protagonist, Gala, swoons over her creator a bit, it isn't overwhelming. There is enough intrigue and antagonism to keep the reader interested. I wish I could have seen more of Blaise. He is really my favorite character. I have read this novel and I have listened to Emily Durante's narration. I much prefer reading the novel. But, I could really feel Gala's innocence and wonder through Emily Durante's voice. I cannot wait for the next volume in this series.

Loved it.. Once again, I am thoroughly impressed with the writing of Dima Zales and Anna Zaires. The Sorcery Code had me hooked from the beginning to the end. The best part is how the rest of the story is set up in the beginning. I also like how Gala explores everything that's going on. All through the book, I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next. The narrator, Emily Durante, made the book exciting to listen to. She did an excellent job at distinguishing the different characters, and different emotions. She doesn't have a monotone voice like many narrators do, and she kept a good pace. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys fantasy. I can't wait for part two!

A New Kind of Magic. 5.0 out of 5 stars A New Kind of Magic December 21, 2013 By Robin Manor After loving the Krinar Chronicles by (Anna and Dima Zaire's), I was very excited to read the first book in a new series written by Dima Zaire's. The main story is a about an in entire,highly skilled Sorceror, Blaze, who is trying to create a way to bring the ability to perform magic to all the people of his world. Currently there are basically three classes of people, the Sorcerers at the top, the soldiers guarding the sorcerers, and then the common folk. In the midst of creating a way for everyone to unlock The Code that makes the magic, Blaze creates an intelligent human-like life form that emerges from the Spell Realm. Gala is a beautiful woman who possesses the ability to learn at lightening speeds. She has powers that are very great and growing, but she is unable to fully control them yet. Gala wonders and thrills at the new world she has become a part of, she is also capable of feeling emotions as well as a strong curiosity about the world she has entered. There is a strong connection between Blaze and Gala on many levels. Blaze is instantly protective, enamored and amazed by this woman he has created. There are also several other themes running throughout the story. Magic is explained to stem from a combination of science, mathematics, physics and technology. This may be true to a good extent, for example,just imagine what people 200 years ago would think of television and cellphones. There is also a political statement made as to the lack of equality between the Sorcery population and the "common" people. Blaze wants to bring technology so that even the common people can perform magic and enhance their lives. Most of the Sorcery group like being the elite royalty separated by their powers. These beliefs lead Many even own their own territories. The world created here is imaginative and breathtaking. The story is inventive, thrilling at times as well as touching. Being the first in the series we are introduced to several intriguing characters whose stories we get to watch unfold in the follow up books.. The book is an exciting read written through the perspective of the different characters. Besides enjoying the story the reader will also find themselves thinking about the many themes that are weaved into the many levels of this awesome book, The exciting ending left me hoping book two won't be far behind.

The Sorcery Code. I found The Sorcery Code to be a very enjoyable book. Even though it is listed under the genre of fantasy, I found the characters to be quite relatable. The stories use of four different viewpoints throughout the story was a nice touch, and it was easy to follow whose viewpoint the story was being told from because the chapter name was the name of the character whose viewpoint was being told. This story also has some romance in it, but it does not go into great detail, and is tastefully done. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Fantasy novels, or is interested in getting into the Fantasy genre.

Its Magic... There was a lot of things that I loved about the book. The very first scene in the book where they introduced Blaze and Gala was absolutely mesmerizing. If I closed my eyes it felt like I was there with them and everything was happening right in front of me. The battle scene was also another one of my favorites. I have always been a huge Harry Potter fan and I pretty much grew up with it. When I think about magic I always automatically think about Harry Potter. Now that I have read/listened to this book I have also become a "The Sorcery Code" fan. I was pretty much in awe the entire time. The amount of detail that was put into the story was just amazing. Everyone should read this book. It is one of those books that has the potential to become the next big thing.

Great Read. Without giving away too much - it's a critique on the modern society we live in. Has elements like computer science, genetic engineering, capitalism, etc. As a reader, drawing the parallels between the "fantasy" world and the "real" world is quite interesting. 7 hours+ seems like an impossibly long amount of time, but it goes by quite quickly. I took it on my cross-country flight and it made the trip a lot more bearable.

Fun, New Adventure. The Sorcery Code is the first book by Dima Zales that I have read, and I have to say that I found it the be a surprising treat! The world that you are brought into is different from any other I have encountered, which made it that much more enjoyable. The author exposes you to the politics and the people in a clear way, without being mired down in unnecessary details. Sorcery is scientific and specific, with spells needing to be created ahead of time and a sorcerer needing to know what s/he has available for a given situation. The story moves along at a good pace; fast enough to keep things interesting, without allowing the plot or character development to suffer. The characters are an interesting cast, with my current favorite being Gala. Watching her grow as she discovers what and who she is, seeing how her sorcery erupts unbidden in the most interesting ways, and just her sheer innocence is a delight. The story and characters not only draw you in, but leave you wanting more. This is an excellent read for anyone who enjoys a good fantasy saga. I can't wait for the follow-up!

Great fantasy. This book is filled with adventure and suspense. It took me a few chapters to get into it and really realize what was going on, but once I did I was hooked. The book begins with a powerful sorcerer who developed a new spell with an unexpected outcome. Once I really started to understand what was going on, I didn't want to put it down. If you like magical fantasy stories, with both adventure and suspense, then you should definitely read this book. If you are anything like me, you will be quickly hooked.

Good start to a new series. Dima Zales and Anna Zaires really do a lovely job of bringing these characters and (even more successfully) their world to life. I listened to the audiobook format and first things first, the narrator (Emily Durante) was one of my least favorite aspects. There were moments when she didn't seem particularly interested in the story even when she was describing some exciting or beautiful event. She was decidedly not bad... she simply didn't add as much as some audiobook actors can (Harry Potter, anyone?) For that reason, I would probably read the hardcopy book when I want to revisit the story. There are many fairly original ideas for a fantasy lover to enjoy (I'll be vague to let you discover it for yourself). How magic is accomplished, the rules of society, and even the worldviews of the main characters are quite engaging. (And I appreciated that it was clean!) I can tell when I really enjoyed immersing myself in a story when I pick up my next read and find myself momentarily confused when the rules of the world are different. That was the case with this book. Everything fit together so well that I wanted to stay in that world and have other characters conform to it. Overall, I can definitely recommend the book and recommend the audiobook for those with commutes (which is when I listen), though with the understanding that you may be more excited about what is happening than the narrator...

Refreshing Insight into the World of Magic and Fantasy!. The Sorcery Code was a refreshing change of pace in my audio book collection. While most authors are only writing about vampires and werewolves, Dima Zales and Anna Zaires are bringing a whole new world to the surface for fantasy books and this unique perspective into the world of sorcerers left me wanting more! The setting reminded me of a magical ancient Rome. The different classes of people were very distinct, with the sorcerers being the noble or royal betters and their commoner subjects, which were those who possessed no magical ability at all. There is conflict and the existence of a rising rebellion against the rule of the magical people versus the common folk, which sets the scene in which Gala, the ultimate sorcerer from the spell world is born. The author speaks from all character’s points of view, which helped provide me with a full understanding of what was happening in the story. My favorite perspective was that of Gala herself. Being that she was the most powerful sorcerer the world had ever seen, if you had not seen the story from her perspective, you would probably view her quite differently. As it was, I enjoyed her character so much, because you can see that inside she is struggling with her new found powers and that deep inside she is good and protects those who are innocent. I admired her fervor to learn more and develop who she is through real life experience and her strong will to do so, whether anyone else liked it or not. I believe she is the true heroin of the story and ultimately saved them all. The only character that I didn’t especially admire was Augusta. I feel like she created more drama and conflict than was necessary because of her love for Blaze, but that she was too full of herself to admit her jealousy of what he felt for Gala. It’s unfortunate that she couldn’t overcome her selfishness enough to create a better relationship between her and Blaze. It could have ultimately changed the course of the story for the better. She was and probably will continue to be an antagonist on their relationship and most likely in terms of the rebellion against the rule of the sorcerers. I see a lot more story to come from this dynamic relationship. I especially enjoyed the idea of life captures and wished that we had something like that in the real world. To be able to not only see what others are experiencing it, but feel what they are feeling as well is a completely wild but appealing concept. There were so many inventions and magical devices discussed that were not typical of this kind of book. The author was very imaginative and creative. I believe that’s what made this story line so exciting and made it extremely hard to stop listening. Overall, I loved this story and I feel that it was the perfect addition in my audio book collection. I look forward to seeing more titles from this author in the future.

A very good read!. Right from the beginning, I was intrigued. The opening scene slowly forms into a very in depth plot and just continues to grow. I love the concept and the characters. Definitely a very good read!

Add This to Your Reading List!. The Sorcery Code by Dima Zales and Anna Zaires is a must read that needs to be added to your list for 2014. Emily Durante is an excellent narrator who is able to capture the right tone for the book by giving a unique inflection for each character that totally works. As a fan of fantasy and romance, the authors lured me in and kept my attention from chapter one. The characters step off the page, and lodge themselves fully in your mind as you get deeper into the book. The writing style adds to this as it keeps the reader’s attention by creating a high tension effect from alternating characters. Each chapter is from a different character’s viewpoint, which gives the book a cliffhanger feel at the end of every chapter where you want to get back to the events that were just revealed. It is the perfect way to get a reader addicted to wanting to know what is going to happen next to the characters as the story unfolds. This is a true page-turner that had me not wanting to hit pause for anything. The fantasy elements blend wonderfully with the story and do not take away from the plotline as some fantasies seem more interested in the world it is set in and lets the characters take a more secondary role. That is certainly not true for this story as you find you really connect with the characters. Each character’s purpose and reason for acting the way they do in the book are clear to see and adds to how the reader feels for them. You can feel for Augusta’s rage when she first confronts Blaise, and for Blaise’s growing feelings. Without giving away any spoilers, I’ll tell you this: I’m eagerly awaiting the next book in the series and checking out the other series by this author duo!

Unusual but Addictive. This interesting take on the world of magic separates itself from typical fantasy novels today. Though slightly difficult to understand at first, the author’s world of sorcery reflects and explores values of fear, knowledge and trust through a brand new perspective, through Gala’s innocent eyes. The unusual perspective is refreshing, and the secretive interaction of characters makes this an even more addictive novel. All in all, The Sorcery Code is an engaging read that manages weave aspects of magic and fantasy in an old-age society into the familiar themes of love and betrayal.

A fantastically detailed fantasy adventure, with a touch of romance. I am a big fan of fantasy novels, and I went into this book eager to experience a good world, characters and story. And to my delight, The Sorcery Code delivers on all of these things, and more. The opening of the novel introduces two of the main characters, Blaise and Gala, in an impressively descriptive way. Author Dima Zales describes the scene and the character's apperances in such a way that I was unable to stop reading. This descriptive expertise is common throughout the book, and makes for a truly engaging experience. One thing I love in fantasy novels is when the point of view switches between characters. This is done brilliantly in The Sorcery Code as the story is told from the combined perspectives of Blaise, Gala and Augusta. This makes for a more interesting overall story, as you can appreciate the various twists and turns from each character's particular world-view. This of course causes each character to become more believable and even relatable drawing you further into their struggles. Overall, I was very satisfied with the book and cannot wait to read the next parts in the series. If you are a fan of fantasy like myself, them pick this book up. (For the audio version, the narrator (Emily Durante) is excellent and does a great job with characterisation, despite the many male characters in the novel. A great listening experience!)

Amazing Story!. First of all - WOW! This is an amazing story. If you are looking for a world full of magic, mystery and epic battles (with just the right amount of romance and jealous ex-lovers mixed in), you NEED to listen to The Sorcery Code. The fantasy world that has been created here is amazingly complete. The story follows the beautiful and mysterious Gala, who is simply trying to understand her sudden consciousness, and the world she finds herself in. Along with her brilliant creator Blaise, with a dark past of his own, and some old friends, they find themselves being thrown into an incredible journey, being tailed by those who see Gala's incredible powers as a threat instead of a gift... From the telling of the overthrow of the old ruling class right down to the basics of sorcery code, I felt like I was a true observer into a living, breathing world, experiencing everything right along next to Gala - exploring a new and exciting land for the first time! Also - Life Captures, I so want to try one! Emily Durante as the narrator had me hanging onto every word! I love the way that she jumps into each character, giving each one a unique voice. I was especially impressed with her ability to switch between each different personality flawlessly from moment to moment, really bringing the words to life. Emily had me feeling every emotion that the characters did! Overall, very impressed! I can't wait to find out what Gala and Blaise will accomplish together in their upcoming adventures!

A Fantastic Fantasy Novel. The Sorcery Code is a fantastic audiobook! Dima Zales – with help from the wonderful narration by Emily Durante – paints a compelling world full of intrigue, seduction, and action. There were many good, well-rounded characters throughout the book, and I greatly enjoyed that few of the characters can be pegged as good or evil. Everyone has their own agenda, and they'll go to any lengths to fulfil their goal. It's well worth a read if you're a fan of great fantasy stories, and I can't wait to get my hands on the sequels.
