Zorian Kazinski has all the time in the world to get stronger, and he plans on taking full advantage of it.
A teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, Zorian is attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. A driven and quiet young man, he is consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, resenting the Kazinskis for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, Zorian has no time for pointless distractions, much less other people's problems.
As it happens, though, time is something he is about to get plenty of.
On the eve of Cyoria's annual summer festival, Zorian is murdered, then abruptly brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take the train to school. Finding himself trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, he will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery set before him. He does have to unravel it, too, because the loop clearly wasn’t made for his sake, and in a world of magic even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill.
Fortunately for Zorian, repetition is the mother of learning….

Having the option to enjoy this in audio format is an absolute delight, and I may or may not have binged the whole thing in a couple of days.
The narration is top notch, and I love the character voices.
If you like the premise of this story I highly recommend giving this a listen!
One Of My Favorites!

1. This first audiobook doesn't end with the kind of closure you might expect from a book. Some might call it a cliffhanger, but to be fair it's just a good story taking its time to tell the story properly.
2. The narration is very.. idiosyncratic. He's talented, but it took me a few hours to get used to the cringy dialogue, childlike tone and excess of odd Scottish/Irish accents. I honestly thought I'd quit, but I'm glad I didn't.
At first, the story feels like it lacks substance, and the sentences are overly convoluted, but it gets a lot better. The time-loop repetition is quite well done and gives you many angles to look at the main character's situation. If you like seeing things from different perspectives (despite it being written from only one PoV), this is your book.
3. The main character grows. And there's depth to that growth. And the story doesn't fixate on his idiosyncrasies for very long. His angst goes away quickly enough.
4. It's good and very well paced. I hated it when I started it, but now that it's over I feel an odd sense of satisfaction despite the story being nowhere near done or tied up. Definitely one I'll check again later. (Later edit: now that I've completed the whole written story, I am so very sad it couldn't go on for longer. It was beautifully done and one of my favourite fantasy stories)
5. The setup is quite unique. The main character is more of a sidelines guy because of his personality. Analytical and exceptionally cautious. He doesn't make stupid mistakes.
A long one

However, he uses a variety of silly sounding accents for each character that almost all feel a bit fake and out of place to me. Most characters are a variation of welsh, irish, scottish, or an odd sounding chinese. More subtle voice variations would have worked a lot better.
Also its Kael, NOT Kyle xD.
Amazing story, iffy narration
