This was highly entertaining!💜

I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed this book. It has many aspects that I enjoyed, such as paranormal/fantasy, action, adventure as well as drama and intrigue.
I loved the characters and the way there roles come together.
I almost wished I hadn’t started this series until it was completed. I don’t like waiting for the next book, instead I prefer to binge my series if possible. Especially when the stories are not standalone.
That said, I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
The narration was absolutely amazing. Jonathan Waters has the perfect voice for this genre and this series in particular. I hope the author continues to use him to tell his stories.
This is book 1 and continues to the next story.
I highly recommend this book.

This book was gritty in a good way

So the author did an excellent job in nailing the gritty details. It’s also not a hyper inflated isekai hero novel. The beginning is a bit rough but it gets pretty good once you get past that. Few errors in the sound recording but not that bad. I definitely recommend this book it’s good.

Great Romanesque Isekai

Solid story, great action, relatable MC, interesting magic system, and no harem. Definitely worth the credit!

Great job

I cannot wait until book two comes out. The story is one of the best I have read. This is well written and for those who are thinking about getting this it is worth reading.

As a soldier myself the parallels are great

The writing style is fresh and fun. You are not coughed down with the mechanics, the world building feels natural and the pace of the narrator was spot on. If you are looking for a great audio book to dive into then this is your invitation for adventure.

I found the story very exciting and couldn’t wait to hear the next chapter

Would love to listen to book 2 now if it were released. A good and exciting book.

great story

awesome story with a ton of action. it's sad how many people end up dying but it's more realistic. it had a very gritty premise and the characters are very realistic and easy to emphasize with. one of my favorite main characters in a while. he is quick on his feet and a capable warrior with understandable vices. not a ton of clichéd idiotic traits.
