Publisher's summary

I used to be the greatest Earth Mage in my world. The head of the entire Order of Architects. But the older you get, the more you come to realize that at some point, you need to retire, so that you can have the chance to enjoy a peaceful life and to cede your place to the young, some of whom have already turned two thousand years old . . .

So that's what I did. I had everything I could ever want, and even more besides. But I failed to account for one thing: during the course of my long life, I'd accumulated too many enemies, and they had decided to spoil my retirement. So they died along with me. And I hope their deaths were final. But mine was not!

I've been reborn in a strange new world, and I now need to start over. I still have all my experience and memories, but what about my power? I've managed to climb to the top once already; I can do it again! And it's crucial that I do so before this world is consumed by the beasts from the Shadow Plane . . .

Surprised me!

Not your average Fantasy book and it is well written if a lot of introspection, but hey give the guy some credit he is reborn and figuring things out. Slow at times but the build up is good to how he is starting out. I enjoyed the listen and didn't give up like with other stories I have bought lately, the ending leads to the next book, wish it would have been a longer book but hey that's me.
Kevin narrated the book very well and I am back on the bus to listen to other books by him again, I was crushed by Dual sword gods narration and if you love Kevin don't listen to that series. He is one of my Favorite narrators but had to take a break after that from anything he narrated.
Looking forward to the next book and if you like a man fighting to change his luck in a new world this book is worth the credit and the cover art is Awesome too, Glad its not a A.I. picture.

Surprisingly good

Wasn’t sure what to expect, but overall a good book and good story. Looking forward to the next in the series to come out

Worth the buy

kept me interested. Will get next one in series. better as book moved forward .use the credit.

Awesome

This was really good, mc just trying to build his stuff but people keep trying to mess with him but he is ruthless and looks like he is done playing around, can't wait for the next one

Haphazard storyline.

Poor world building and the mc is talking too much about how great he was and repeats himself too often. The writing needs work and the story needs to be expanded and figure out a path to take. Has some decent ideas that needed to be expanded upon.
Ok if you have nothing else to listen to.

Good

The story and the pace was good however in the beginning for a ancient dude he start out acting like a weak punk lucky it did not last to long

Finally something worthwhile.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It was different but entertaining and way more intriguing than I thought it would be. The narration was amazing and the characters, the storyline, the world development, just everything was well executed and I loved it. I can’t wait w see what happens next.

Great story that leaves you looking for the next episode! Action and adventure that keeps your interest!

Starting over in a new world. Starting at the bottom when you once ruled the world sucks! Watch as the champion learns how to use his knowledge of a different world.

Save the credit

minimal plot, alludes to cool things he has done in the past, but doesn't do anything in this story... Didn't finish it, there are better stories to spend my time on.

Living in the past

There is not a moment of this book where you don't get to know how great the MC and his past Order was.
This book was almost all about the MC thinking bake to his past life in referents to a situation he find him self in and how insane it is that he an Architect have to restart a new.
You must like that sort of way of telling the story or it not for you.
