The Dark Healer: Book 1

De: Nadya Lee, Alex Toxic, Dan Veksler - translator

Narrado por: Christopher P. Brown

I had lain down in my crypt to rest for a few decades, but when I awoke, centuries had passed. My castle is in ruins, my clan is gone, and necromancers are considered just a fairy tale for children.

They take me for a healer. That's because the world is sick. And it's time for strong medicine.

The voice was entertaining and engaging

the voice is engaging and entertaining. Not only that but the story itself was captivating and very addictive. I am just sad that there isn't a volume two in audio. I have yo go to kindle to get the second vloume. just please don't change the speaker. they are completely perfect together the story with the speaker!!!!

it's a good listen

You know it has none of the shot falls of other books. An honest main character with power but an author who doesn't spend chapters building up the strength of the character only to be nerfed at every fight. The story was very good, good speed and I really enjoyed it.

If you like russian lit, then you're like this

This seems to be either somebody's read up on the newest court crop of russian Litrpg And then decided to distill them into this series. I like it. They've taken out all of the male chauviness for the most part and all the good parts from all these other series and put them into this series. It's good start.Hope it keeps up its momentum

Good story but short

I enjoyed this book but it was way to short and it doesn't look like that will change with the next one in fact it's worse a pitty.

Good but short book

The book was really good. It kept me engaged all the way through. Only issue was the book was short and a little light on action for my taste. When the Audible version is available for the second book, I will be getting it.

average isekai, too short

only in this case you already have magic and are isekaid into the future. not much happens

good spin pm necros

bit of humor sarcasm. good blend. solid book. good for a casual listen. finished in one day

A Standout in Russian LitRPG

The Dark Healer is an outstanding addition to the Russian LitRPG genre. This story hits all the right notes: compelling character development, a protagonist who’s satisfyingly overpowered, and a magic system that sparks curiosity about where it could lead in future installments.

The balance between action, progression, and world-building is masterful, with the protagonist’s growth feeling both earned and exciting. The OP element is handled perfectly—it’s fun and empowering without taking away from the story’s tension or stakes.

If you’re a fan of classics like The Way of the Shaman or Reality Benders, you’ll definitely want to check this out. It’s a fantastic blend of the familiar tropes we love in Russian LitRPG with a fresh twist. I can’t wait to see what comes next in this series!

Interesting and fun

The book was interesting, and I had fun learning a little more about the magical system and we're old they created.
The only downside was that the pacing was very off. sometimes things happened instantly. sometimes they were dragged out.
Once again, you have a very imperious overpowered character, who seemingly has No defects or challenges.
The character basically just blast through anything as though they were a magical Superman.
I definitely did not enjoy the attraction of the great-great-granddaughter to Grandpa... That just felt weird even though he passed it off as nothing.
I might try the next one, be warned this one is so abruptly you can tell they wrote it as one book then split it apart.

Excellent!

I found this story engaging and fun to listen too.
It happens in a parallel contemporary fantasy world. Magic and technology intertwine in the most fascinating way. While describing all this, the author takes a few jibes at modern society quirks. It also has an interesting outtake on amorality from powerful people or entities.
Somehow, the author knows how to keep a light tone through all this and make you smile.
It is at a crossroad between epic and urban fantasy, and I found the entire narrative new and captivating.
Good narration.
