Seth the Abyssal Assassin: Book 1

De: V.A. Lewis, Extra26

Narrado por: Giancarlo Herrera, Hannah Schooner

Survive, grow stronger, and get revenge. All in a new world.

Seth loved his life on Earth. He graduated from his dream college, worked at his dream job, and married his dream girl. Unfortunately, it was all taken away from him when he woke up alone in a dark cavern prowling with dangerous monsters.

Armed with only a small dagger of mysterious origin, he has no choice but to fight through this web of death and darkness to get to safety. But with both his rare abyssal magic and his desire to return home, he will survive this nightmare by any means necessary, and get revenge on those who ripped him away from his dream life, even if it meant fighting through hordes of giant lizards, groups of terrible bandits, and whatever other person or monster that got in his way.

writing was weird.

the narrators were pretty good, only problem with them is the male narrator was overly dramatic al the time even when talking about mundane things. the store writing felt very odd from time to time discounted and won't words or fraise used when talking about something. other than that it was pretty okay middling at best.

Great start!

This was a great start to a new adventure. Easy to follow stat system, interesting world building and well developed characters. I’m looking forward to the next book.

Great Narration

The story felt a little predictable. With the MC missing what felt like clear and obvious signs as to what was happening in the story.

Pretty great

I really enjoyed this, the MC really has it hard through your and his trials lead him to become pretty powerful. Although I hate it when the author names a series like this.. I mean come on, how about “The Abyssal Assassin” sounds way better. Outside of that it was great and the performance was really well done aswell

Assassins rise

Really enjoyed this audiobook. The characters are good and the action isn't boring. The literpg element is just right. Goldilocks would be eating this up. Thank you can't wait for the next one.

Good Plot and Ideas Hampered by Repetition

The overall direction, plot themes, and characters in this book are good. There's enough divergence from generic storylines that the scenarios are unique and fresh. Characters are well written, though internal dialouges seem to bounce between insightful and then complete uninterest at times.
The main reason I can't give this book a higher score (though I finished it and the 2nd book) are the amount of repeated phrases and adjectives. There are maybe 10 sets of descriptions used through the book, many many times each.
it's unfortunately quite distracting, and while the voice actor did a good job in general, his style doesn't vary enough to mask the repetitive writing.
3 stars, wish I could give it 4, because I think the book would be there otherwise!

My Favorite Narrators!

This is such an amazing story narrated by two of my favorite narration teams ever!

Good story with nonstop action! Great start for a new series!

May be the hardest dungeon crawl ever talked about! Wake up in a dark cave surrounded by monsters!

great new series. bring me book 2

this was a very well done book. I feel like there was almost two different books in one. it was fast paced. it has lots of action and some mystery. the fight scenes were well written with lots of close calls and drama. the narration was excellent and I can't wait for book 2.

Almost continuous battles

Continual battles through the first two thirds of the book. The last third was a mix of battles and some character development. Debated through most of the book whether or not it was worth finishing.

The narrator was mostly good but a few voices were too soft and took me out of the story straining to hear.

Update: Just finished the sequel. There was more story and less battling. Still not very good so I don't plan on reading the next book.
