Apr 28, Bart rated it liked it Shelves: read. Very pleasant prequel to the Summoner. I liked the concept of demons as familiars.

The story, however not that original, is a very cosy read. As I read Outcast before I knew this existed Apr 25, Kirsty Amethyst Bookwyrm rated it liked it Shelves: fantasy , review. Orphan stable boy Arcturus life changes forever when he reads a scroll and discovers that he has the ability to summon demons.

Arcturus with his demon Sacharissa, are sent to Vocans Military Academy to learn about his ability but as the first commoner with this ability he finds he has enemies. With only Sacha on his side, Arcturus has to prove himself as a worthy summoner. Origins is the prequel novella in the Summoner series, which is fast paced, enjoyable and easy to read, and it was great to Orphan stable boy Arcturus life changes forever when he reads a scroll and discovers that he has the ability to summon demons.

While he is similar to Fletcher, I felt Arcturus is more street wise and I felt more protective towards him. After this novella I am hoping for some romance between Arcturus and Elaine Lovett in the next book. One thing I found irritating was that almost all of the adult characters from The Novice and The Inquisition were in this novella.

I would recommend Origins to fans of the Summoner series.

I liked the characters and the magic system and enjoyed the writing style.

Aug 26, Kirstie Ellen rated it really liked it Shelves: fantasy. Revolving around the mysterious character of Arcturus a professor in the first novel , we discover how he got into the academy and where exactly he fitted in, in the social spectrum of things. We find out some interesting things within the first novel that are also discussed within this book so it was fun to find out the more intricate details.

It was very curious to see the relationships between the students of Arcturus' time and definitely is food for thought in regards to their relationships now, in the time of The Novice. The politics of the world are mostly left out of this book but it does give away a reasonably important plot revelation of the first book so read this first at your own peril. Whilst I enjoyed this book, the first book, The Novice is at least 10 times better.

Another Novella? Do I need to Read this? And when?! I read The Novice before reading this book and immediately upon finishing it and having small tantrum over the long wait for book number two I went a-hunting for something else that Matharu might have written. And what a lucky day for me it was; voila!

A novella. In what was basically one sitting. Based on my own personal experience I would say read The Novice and then, if you so wish, read this one. On the flipside, this is a perfectly good introduction to the series I suppose, but I like the suspense that would otherwise be ruined by reading the novella first — I also prefer the more gradual introduction we get to this world through the first book but I am quite a fan of world building. Summary This has only gotten me more excited to read the next installment in the series because oh my goodness is this series good, or what.

My only wish is that the cover could be better and matching , that would make me happy. Happy reading! Apr 03, Dhiksha rated it really liked it Shelves: awesome-loved-it. I was introduced to the Summoner world through wattpad, and The Novice and later the Origins were some of the first books that really captivated me.

I loved the universe of summoners and demons, and I was insanely excited about the Origins ebook. My reaction at finding out it was available as a free ebook on the kindle store So naturally, I downloaded it that instant and retreated into my little reading-shell for a couple of hours while I devoured it.

It was everything I expected and more. Arcturu I was introduced to the Summoner world through wattpad, and The Novice and later the Origins were some of the first books that really captivated me.

Arcturus was a character I was pretty curious about and the Origins, for me, was great. I really admire the way Taran Matharu has depicted this kid as what he is, a kid. The story sucked me into the swirling vortex of Summoner and the beautiful writing style held me there. Bottom line: A definite must-read for anyone who loves fantasy and stories that kill your feels.

Will definitely read the Novice. Nov 21, Etienne rated it really liked it. Good prequel to a great series. I read it after reading the first three books and I still enjoy it even if all the basic introduction to the world were a bit repetitive since I already knew most of it. So a good add-on to the series.

A series that every fans, or future fans, of this series should read because it really worth it. I literally finished reading this last night and was amazed at how much I really enjoyed it. It's a short little prequel to the main Summoner books but it's perfectly formed and is a wonderful and rich story in it's own right. Arcturus was a stable boy who found he had the ability to summon demons in the way that is usually only held by the upper classes, the first born nobles.

After a run in with a noble boy that leaves Arcturus in accidental possession of the boy's demon and a subsequent face-t I literally finished reading this last night and was amazed at how much I really enjoyed it.

After a run in with a noble boy that leaves Arcturus in accidental possession of the boy's demon and a subsequent face-to-face with the king himself Arcturus finds himself literally winging his way to the school for summoners, something normally held for nobles only.

Can Arcturus cope with being among those that only see him as a thief and a peasant, can he hold his own and become the summoner that the king believes he can be?

For such a limited and small novella the writing is particularly good, the world building is just enough to give you an overall impression of the world and how it works, the social systems and the demon realm.

The characterisations are great, Arcturus is great character with a good deal of depth and charm which makes him very easy to like and to root for, you want the boy to do well, to beat down the bullies against him and to become the summoner he should be. The pacing of the novella is also great, it has a good flow and it's perfectly fitting for the story.

Overall this is a great little tale, worth the read in my eyes and I hope it really is the perfect introduction into the main Summoner books of which The Novice is ext on my radar to read. Apr 09, Stephen C rated it it was amazing. Oooooh yes! This was a little gem and I loved it - I only wish it was longer! Here we have the back story of Arcturus, who by know you may know from your spell casting lesions in The Novice Even though I cant actually pronounce his name I really like Arcturus and it was great to have his back story which was spoken a little about in The Novice but here we get to experience it and in a similar was to The Novice it r Oooooh yes!

Even though I cant actually pronounce his name I really like Arcturus and it was great to have his back story which was spoken a little about in The Novice but here we get to experience it and in a similar was to The Novice it really felt as a book I hope that's understandable to people!

I love that we got to see more of the King and the future king, some of the characters that feature in The Novice as their younger selves annnnnnnnnnd more demons! There was also a beautiful symmetry between Arcturus and Fletcher I felt, there's a strength and a humility to both, a kindness that was really reflected well. We get a little bit of action to, which had me gripping the kindle thinking shizzle what's going to happen If you have or if you haven't grab a copy of this eBook and get reading!

Dec 01, Aoife rated it it was amazing Shelves: ya , ya-fantasy , kindle , novella , dragons. I was so happy after finishing The Novice to realise there was a novella and, at pages, this novella is decent sized and gives just the right amount of story. Origins takes place when Summoners realise that commoners and not only nobles have the chance to summon demons and perform magic.

Arcturus, who is Fletcher's mentor and teacher in The Novice, is the main character in Origins and the novella gives the reader a look at Votans in a way the other book didn't.

The Novice is set in a time whe I was so happy after finishing The Novice to realise there was a novella and, at pages, this novella is decent sized and gives just the right amount of story. The Novice is set in a time where the learning needs to be rushed and it isn't in Origins so the reader is really able to get a feeling for the school and the magic lessons - plus the prejudice that was held against the commoners and dwarves even before it was learned they could do magic.

As I said, the novella was a great size for an extra few hours of enjoyable reading. I just really love this world that I'd happily jump into the next novel in the trilogy if I had it in my hands!

Apr 17, Pallabi Dutta rated it liked it. FYI, it's free on amazon so go ahead and download it. Surprisingly I liked it. But I felt that many more things could have been added but then again it was just a prequel. And mostly the thing that was going through my mind was wow I don't remember much from The Novice and after that I went to re-read or maybe glance in from chapter to chapter just so I will have a good idea about the plot.

I can't wait to 3. I can't wait to read the second book in the summoner series. Apr 13, Connor rated it really liked it Shelves: young-adult-fantasy. This was a short little prequel to the series, and I really enjoyed it. I think you could read it any time, but reading after the first two books worked well for me.

It was awesome to see the adults of Fletcher's life as children just beginning their own journeys, and knowing the things I know after The Inquisition allowed me to make a lot of connections that were happening within the story. Jul 09, Timothy rated it it was amazing. He keeps bloody teasing me. Matharu your series is the number one that I have been looking forward to. Once I am done I am reading it all over again.

Please, if you care, give me the second book. I look at the titles and I am more excited than my own girlfriend which has never happend before.

Aug 09, Alexandra rated it really liked it. Nice prologue to the Summoner-series. Aug 16, Debrac rated it really liked it. I really enjoyed this prequel to the Summoner trilogy! Arcturus is a commoner who can summon a demon. When discovered, he's sent to Vocans Military Academy to learn the art of summoning demons.

Nov 03, FletcherWuLf rated it it was amazing. I read this before reading the novice and found it really good and a nice introduction and it eplains some hings from the novice a bit more!!! Aug 10, Johanna rated it really liked it. I love the backstory you get with this novella.

I wanted to know more about this particular story when I read the first book so it's great that this exists! Mar 10, Tushar Patel rated it liked it. Well damn it I want more of Arcturus' back story and I want it now lol. I loved seeing all of the adult characters from the novice back in the schoolboy days. I still want my very own Sacharissa! Mar 22, charmaine mitchell rated it it was amazing. Great read Loved reading this was great to get a look into the past before novice.
