By: Derek Alan Siddoway, A. J. Cerna

Narrated by: Oliver Wyman

The Djinn Tamer Bronze League boxset is a complete LitRPG trilogy with plenty of progression and monster-battling elements, perfect for fans of Pokémon and My Hero Academia.

Jackson Hunt dreams of becoming a professional monster tamer - to capture, power up, and battle creatures called Djinn. But dreaming of becoming a champion and actually achieving mastery are two very different things.

Before he can ever become a champion, Jackson must tame his first monster - a wild, feral Djinn left to him by his dead mother. And then there’s the small problem of fighting in illegal underground tournaments.

Join Jackson and his team of Djinn as they level up, tame new monsters, and battle their way to the top of the league. Skills will be tested, powers unleashed. Victory won’t come without a cost.

Experience LitRPG’s first foray into monster-battling today in this special edition omnibus including the entire Djinn Tamer: Bronze League Trilogy.

Fun story

This series is a very good series. One that’ll bring up nostalgia that you didn’t even know you missed. If you enjoy Pokémon or digimon or any story with creature companions you will enjoy this series.

where book 4?

where book 4? I need book 4 rn. I said RIGHT NOW. I guess this side story book will have to work. but book 4. come on. let's go.

Realistic Version of what Pokemon could be!

Although the trilogy may had began at a slow start. The first book explores very real world struggles and hard ships of owning and competing with Monsters in a Pokemon-like world. It doesn't glamorize or overhype the trill of Monster fighting and even goes as far explaining their version of illegal underground dog fights.
But while the first book is set in a much darker tone, the Second and Third books felt much more familiar like Pokemon and that's okay! Both books ended up being my favorites.
As the story and characters, I give it a over all average. It does get pretty predictable and the main protagonists are somewhat unlikable. But the overall idea and concept of Competitive Monster Taming in a real world setting is what kept me wanting more!

I'll admit this series may not be for everyone, but if you're a fan of Pokemon, Digimon, or Monster Rancher. You have fun spotting the many similarities and references, and will be a over all fun read.

A Enjoyable read

Great for any Pokemon, Digimon, or monster battle fan. Which I am so this was fun to read, its no Pulitzer winner but it isn't trying to be.

The MC is really immature and is a mirror for Ash Ketchum..which made sense for him because he was 10 but Jackson is supposed to be 18 and should really be more...adult? He sounds, acts, and thinks like a 13-year-old honestly. I also thought that he was widely ignorant of Djinn, battling them and caring for them even though this is his life long passion and he works at a Djinn breeding farm.

Once again, Ash Ketchum and I think the authors did this to add more growth and world-building, but considering the context, it just makes Jackson out to be an idiot. He is obsessed with Djinn and reads the Wikipedia pages on them before bed and he didn't have any idea how to use an attack? Or that he needed healing items? He wants to be a famous league battler but didn't know he needed to be registered or needed a license???
He has holographic rings and projectors, there aren't beginner videos and training information online? How are there not books everywhere?????

His relationship with his friends is weird, I have dark humor myself but the relationship he has with Kay is all dark jokes, manipulation and he just seems to use her. Like they don't have many nice moments and how they became friends isn't really highlighted on. I don't get why she even hangs out with him. He drags her everywhere and she doesn't want to go but only does because she's a good friend...they don't have anything in common.

Briggs is fine I guess but Jackson ignores his advice and criticizes him as much as he idolizes him.

Fiona is not a good character...at all. She is a bad friend because she just takes advantage of Jackson and Kay and then she kisses him..only to tell him to never talk to her about it again. All she cares about is winning and being a good tamer. She sucks, I found nothing about her to be redeemable.

Though I did appreciate that Jackson is a poor kid trying to achieve his dream and that Djinn training costs money, this I could relate to and found myself connecting to Jackson on the sense that he wanted to help his grandma, who sounds like a she is Jewish and from Jersey..loved it, and that he wanted to make his mother proud.

The narrator did a good job. His voice for Jackson is great and he does well at using different voices for different characters and genders...loved the grandma. I did think that his narration outside the dialogue to be interesting, he sounds like Nick Offerman and has an overly dramatic drawl at the ending sentence of a chapter. which was silly...its not that serious keep your tone lighter.

Overall I liked it and would read more books like it.

I recommend finish all 3 by the weekend!

love it I will recommend to my friends for sure is like pokemon for adults

please stop defining terms every time they come up

would love it if the author would simplify some things such as when it says "HP(hit points) and EP(elemental points)" 50 times a book... just say that once at the beginning, then just use HP and EP from then on without the definition EVERY SINGLE TIME! otherwise it's a good story.

A straight forward monster taming adventure.

I've always wanted a book about a Pokemon trainer. Told in a legitimate literary fashion. About a trainer rising up, training pokemon, and fighting in a League. This is far and away the closest thing we'll ever get to that and I could not be more pleased. The Djinn, bonding, training, capturing, and especially battling were exactly what I wanted and exceeded my expectations for what I needed in this type of story. If you want a literary pokemon you won't be disappointed.

Things to know:
The writing is a bit on the simpler side, and feels skewed a bit younger. I didn't mind though since this is my casual listen, but felt it should be mentioned as the story is straight forward with alot of tropes.

My only big complaint is the lack of description on the Djinns. I wish they had more thorough descriptions, which would have helped me visualize the battles more, but overall I'm extremely happy listening to this and will relisten to it before the next book comes out.

One My Favorite Series of All Time!

This series was amazing! If you love Pokémon, this is the series for you! I just want MORE and MORE of this series!

great book

surprisingly good it reminds me of pokemon with litrpg stats for them. but honestly it's a good book series I've enjoyed the first 3 books.

get ready for every cliche in the book

main character gets scammed in the underground, then keeps on losing, then goes to get a second tame, and im think please let this not be another failure, but nope another completely common trope.
just get ready for alot of disappointment and failures making it hard to want to finish the book
