Oathbound Healer

Beneath the Dragoneye Moons, Book 1

By: Selkie Myth

Narrated by: Andrea Emmes

Elaine is ripped from this world to Pallos, a land of unlimited possibilities made real by a grand system governing classes, skills, and magic.

An ideal society? What is this, a fantasy novel?

Adventures? Right this way!

A grand quest? Nah.

Friends and loot? Heck yes!

Humans are the top dog? Nope; dinosaur food.

Healing and fighting? Well, everything is trying to eat her.

Join Elaine as she travels around Pallos, discovering all the wonders and mysteries of the world, trying to find a place where she belongs, hunting those elusive mangos, all while the ominous Dragoneye Moons watch her every move....

Great book!

The narrator was amazing! She went from voicing a small child to a teenager flawlessly. Can’t wait to hear more from her!
This was such a fun book to get into, and I’m so excited that there are so many others that follow. Definitely recommend to other litRPG listeners

worthwhile Isekai adventure.

The book has a purdy slow burn in the beginning... and yes it's a Isekai adventure, Elaine our MC dies and finds herself bargaining with a god to keep her memories. Little does she know that she has'ta grow-up all over again... and yes she gets some stats but the adventure really ignites when she runs away from home. Although I like Elaine well enough, I love Artemis her mentor and best friend. Also Silkie Myth plays around with the idea of equal rights for women in this new world, but they don't take it very far... other than having Elaine run from an arranged marriage. Perhaps it'll be a concern for later in the series.
I found Andrea Emmes an apt narrator.

I love farreting out the quotes that amuse me, here's a couple of 'em:

"We can say it's a new skill of yours, loose a body part, get an old friend for dinner."

"It was becoming clear that violence was cold and calculating here, and exterminating dozens if not 100s of bandits in a night was Wednesday."

Great context and wonderful writing

This book considers the human experience of a person moving between worlds. It doesn’t mean hand wave the transition in experience and explain how one might emotionally change from this experience.

The system is thoughtful, the interactions between characters make sense, I would read this over most all other litRPG it is not a power fantasy, it is an exploration of experience. 10/10

Entertaining

Interesting enough story though I'm not sure why the levels need to be that high for stuff to still seem weak but not story breaking. Some interesting characters but a lot of unnecessary character aspects. Hopefully the main character gets some actual maturity because kid/teenage mindset excuses only so much behavior when you still have past life memories. She comes off more annoying since she knows what she should be doing or at least trying to but she is being blissfully ignorant.

Shocked

It was surprising that I enjoyed this book so much since it is not my usual book I read, but it has everything in it. Action, Strategy, Freedom, And more within its "pages." I would definitely recommend this title to anyone that is looking for a new escape and world to jump on. I have to say, "It has been a while since I was listening to a book and forgot it was a book and not a great story that never ends!" I am in LOVE!!!!

Paving the Path

This is the start of what could be a phenomenal series. Battling against prejudice and forging bonds through strife, it has all the trappings of a compelling tale.

awesome story

This a great story. The mc start at young age to learn her skills like in fallout 3 game. This very interested story. I hope book 2 and 3 soon.

Rough

As the start of a series, it's a bit rough. It lacks proper descriptions and breathing room for them, the characters aren't explored much, and the main character is a bit difficult to believe as a real person. all that said, it reminds me of my own early work, and for that reason I'm hopeful for growth in the series and got the rest on sale. I want to support this author and their growth, as I see a lot of potential.

The narrator and the MC.

This was a great story and I’m looking forward to getting the whole series. The narrator is just amazing! There are a few narrators that I’ll buy books from them, even if the book might not be my preference( Amy Landon, Tess Irondale, Jessica Threet, RC Bray, Marc Thompson), now I found a new one.

really enjoyed this one.

to keep this short, it was a fun story with a decent level of realism that allow my suspension of disbelief to easily take and made me want to hear more. The timeline kills me in alot of stories, to much happening to fast or outside even mild rational pacing, but not here. the timeline feels organic and considered.

the narrator did an excellent job balancing the behaviors and gave enough inflection that the MCs differnt stages felt real.
