Frozen Time

Time Core, Book 1

De: Jonathan Brooks

Narrado por: Tess Irondale

A Dungeon Core stuck in time, and a Fox just trying to save her family…

Throughout the Kingdom, Defenders constantly fight against incursions of dungeon monsters rampaging over the border the Kingdom shares with the Wildlands. To keep the danger to their citizens low, they periodically sweep through these untamed areas filled with natural beasts and roaming dungeon monsters, destroying as many Dungeon Cores as they can find.

Tempara was practically a newborn when Defenders from the Kingdom snatched her away, only to be forced to watch in horror as tragedy fell upon the rest of her pack. Then, against her will, the Greater Temporal Fox kit was forced to bond with a Defender and become their familiar; soon after, she and her new master were sent to destroy a Dungeon Core in the Frozen Reaches, an area of the Wildlands located far to the north of the Kingdom. Sadly for them both, an unfortunate accident gained them their untimely deaths…but the young Greater Temporal Fox gained an opportunity, as well.

With her untethered soul somehow sent back in time, Tempara now has the chance to save her pack from the horrendous tragedy that would befall them in just a few short weeks. But first, she has to figure what a Dungeon Core is and why, oh why, did she just become one?

This story contains Dungeon Core elements such as dungeon construction and defense, LitRPG/GameLit mechanics such as character progression and stats, and does not contain harems/sexual content or profanity.

Let the time Warp begin

This is a good start to a new series that mixus dungeons and time together what else is there to say

Very technical but still good.

While his books usually have loads of skill sheets, and some times they are skippable, this one with going back in time is just a bit more taxing. Still, it’s okay since I really enjoyed the cute little fox! If you like any of his other books you’ll probably like this one too!

This was a good start.

Having been inundated with books where nominally intelligent protagonists who make completely unexplainable and illogical decisions when the plot demands it, this story was a breath of fresh air. The protagonist, while making many mistakes, never makes them in such a fashion as to appear "random stupid decision to advance plot", that is to say, everything done is thought out, and when mistakes occur, they are analyzed, and corrected for rationally. Likewise, the antagonists are shown as rational beings, who while making mistakes themselves, are never shown to be either chaotic evil, nor stupid.

Totally Unique

This was a very unique book compared to any other dungeon core books and I really enjoyed where he took the story

I totally unique story

I enjoyed this book and the unique characters and perspectives the story was refreshingly different, you should not do what I did this and constantly forget where you're at in the story and start chapters over and over because then the story takes about a million years since it's a time travel series book lol.

surprisingly good

i bought this book not expecting much since time loop books tend to be rather repetitive (go figure) but as I had run out of books on my list I decided to try it out and it was good and not overly repetitive making for an engaging story as well as an interesting twist on your classic dungeon fairy or pixy
overall it's a good dungeon book although a bit different with some odd rules and behaviors that weren't explained or are just odd

Enjoyed listening

I really enjoyed this book looking forward to starting the next one. Love this series.

Fresh Breath Of Air

it was different than what I normally listen to. I really enjoyed the civ-building aspects, but some elements felt overly repetitive to me. it was minor bits, so it didn't pull away from the story too much.

I struggled a bit to picture a few of the dungeon setups that were narrated. Some more time or descriptive language could have helped.

However, I enjoyed it. The characters were built up well and the "system" wasn't overly complicated or "over-powered". I'm looking forward to the next book and am hoping the minor issues I ran into go away as we start to flow deeper into the narration.

one of the best by Jonathan Brooks

While the author has some good points, I normally find his work to be quite average. however I quite enjoyed this book, and I'm looking forward to the next.

good

good story. reader but melancholy. author repeats themselves in preceding sentences sometimes. but otherwise it is good read.
