The story is well done - the voice acting is top notch - not as stat crunchy as many others - and characters including secondary ones that you can care about.

If you are new to the series this episode in the life of my favotite protagonist might not be where you’d want to start. The novel seems to be more of the ‘things happened’ cut out between books. Someone who has listened or read the others up to this point I believe will enjoy it. someone new ti the series I think would be at least a touch kost and confused as to what is going on.

When I go and search for a new audio book I look up Luke Daniels. If you haven’t had the pleasure of listening to him yet, don’t wait. Every character from the protagonist to the most minor is nuanced and easily recognizable. Add to his excellent narration with a great story from Luke Chmilenko who is one of my favorites and Chris Harris whom I’m unfamiliar with but plan to remedy and you have a damn fine book filled with detailed small unit fighting and the drama of surviving the machinations of both the gladiatorial circuit and the political system based upon it that has grown slowly corrupt as it ages.

Plus as a bonus you get Mr. Daniels bloopers at the end. (Which a collection of should be published as a stand alone download, just saying).

The book started off in a good place to me. Light on the Litrpg side but a good non-crunchy book is nice every once in a while. It started going to hell shortly after the female main showed up. It then became a running she-bitch escapade finding out how much a complete asshole a female character could be per minute. I almost finished it but with 2 and a half hours left i absolutely didn’t give a damn anymore.

As always an absolute kickass performance from Luke Daniels. The story has vast potential - it suffered a bit from the lack of mundane battle skills but that was part of the class restriction that the main overcomes eventually. Excellent overall.

Its a damn fine book in my opinion. I normally Don’t write very wordy reviews however with all of the negatives about the author hating the United States I felt it important to Remind those people that the entire story and the slight little jabs against not only the United States but France and Australia itself where the protagonist is from is absolutely in line with the character and his feelings in a fictional world.

If you were as morally outraged and offended as some of the reviewers acted, you need to go take a good long hard look in the mirror.

Excellent narrator with a moving storyline kept me interested in the entire listen. For it to be in the freebie list was surprisingly refreshing.

When there is a book that causes me to sit up suddenly because my grandkid is opening my study door and I don’t want to explain why pap has tears on his face.. No spoilers hopefully but at the gathering in the epilogue when they discuss everything that was gained and everything that was lost, Sophie’s words cut lose my feels bag.

Damn fine writing Shirtaloon.

I am a fan of the series. I personally hold Pavi Proczko up as one of the better narrators of audiobooks. Troy Osgood is one of my favorite authors and I’ve enjoyed watching Hall and the others grow and am absolutely thankful for the author ensuring a believable MC that I identify with even while using a convoluted point xyz experience awarded leveling system.
Yet on the shoulders of all that this fourth book in the series falls flat compared to the first three. The first half of the book seemed a exercise in detail by explaining a dive into a poor quality dungeon with crappy loot (no not really half). When the book actually started moving along it was acceptable but still didn't seem up to the quality of previous offerings. I absolutely will buy the next book and I suggest that you support Troy by purchasing this book as well and make your own mind up. He and the continuation of the story is worth it.
