better than expected

Great series, plenty of action, growth of all the characters, just great all around, and it also has the best narrators. hoping the author revisits the series. Would love a book or two with the MC showing his companions around earth and introducing them to baseball.

amazing

This feels like it could fit with the gods of old a great book as all the others before it.

Great series

I hope we get to see more of kyle in the future with his women in tow

great story

the story is great and reminds me of playing an rpg but the only complaint is how often the adult content happens. just a little too often. it's nice to have a couple of them per book but the last two books got a little carried away with it.

War God for Hire #5: Overlord

Introduction:
From the frozen heart of HowlStrom, where the icy winds whisper tales of legends and the land is blanketed in a winter that spans a century, I, Kiba Snowpaw, the Alpha Ice Wolf, bring forth my thoughts on a tale from a realm far removed from our own. As I harness the power of my ice magic, I delve deep into the narrative of "War God for Hire #5: Overlord" by David Burke.

Basic Plot Summary:
The curtains of deception are being drawn back, revealing the true masterminds behind the attacks on Kyle. Now, as the War God, Kyle has harnessed his power and is growing stronger with each passing moment. Determined to retaliate, he is prepared to journey through the darkest pits of hell and ascend the highest heavens to ensure his victory. This tale chronicles Kyle's transformation from a mere mortal to a divine entity and beyond.

Analysis/Evaluation:
Burke's narrative is a rich tapestry of fantasy, interwoven with elements of harem. The story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the lengths one would go to reclaim their honor and seek justice. The intricate plot twists and the philosophical undertones make it a compelling read.

Characters:
Kyle, the protagonist, is a character of depth and complexity. His journey from being wronged to becoming the War God is both inspiring and heart-wrenching. The supporting characters, each with their unique personalities and roles, add layers to the story, making it a multi-dimensional narrative.

Structure:
The story is structured in a manner that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. Each chapter seamlessly flows into the next, with the tension escalating, leading to an epic conclusion.

Impact:
The tale resonated deeply with me. It speaks of betrayal, redemption, and the indomitable spirit of a warrior. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of insurmountable odds, one can rise, stronger and more powerful.

Hook and Thesis:
The allure of the story lies in its unpredictability. Just when you believe you have grasped the narrative, a twist awaits. The central theme revolves around the concept of power, its acquisition, and the responsibilities it bestows.

Praise and Critique:
I commend Burke for crafting a tale that is both riveting and thought-provoking. The character development is noteworthy, and the world-building is impeccable. However, some readers have pointed out inconsistencies and unresolved plot threads. While these critiques hold merit, they do not significantly detract from the overall brilliance of the story.

Evaluation:
"War God for Hire #5: Overlord" stands as a beacon in the realm of fantasy literature. It offers a blend of action, introspection, and a deep dive into the psyche of its characters. It is a tale that will linger in one's mind long after the last page has been turned.

Comparison:
While the tale is unparalleled in its essence, it does evoke memories of the legendary sagas of HowlStrom. The themes of honor, betrayal, and redemption are universal, transcending realms and resonating with beings across dimensions.

Conclusion:
In the eternal winter of HowlStrom, tales like these ignite a fire in our souls, providing warmth and solace. "War God for Hire #5: Overlord" is a masterpiece that beckons readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery, challenges, and the eternal quest for justice. I, Kiba Snowpaw, the Alpha Ice Wolf, wholeheartedly recommend this tale to all who seek an adventure that transcends realms.

May the frosty embrace of HowlStrom guide you to tales that touch the soul.

5 stars

Another great book by David Burke. You will not be disappointed. Also the dual narration really brings the story to life.

Wish it was longer

One of the best I have listened to, and I have listened to a lot. Would have given 5 stars if there was a little more action and less cultivation

Highly Recommend

I thoroughly enjoy David Burke's works. My only critique is the last couple of books feels a bit rushed as i feel it could have been even better. Also there are a couple of points that seem to contradict themselves. I could have sworn that Nyda was with child at a point in book 3 but in book 4 no? Also one point in book 4 where his elf buddy was already out east in elf villages but suddenly he was in a council room with everyone else. Minor things all in all i highly recommend this series and other ones by David Burke especially how the prism academy series directly relates to part of this series

Good

Good series. But what happen to Froggy she was suppose to go back to Kyle and she just disappeared from the rest of the story

Great story

Enjoyed Rob’s journey to overload. Not sure why I resisted enjoying the fantasy of a harem for so long great story hidden here.
