This Quest Is Broken!

This Trilogy Is Broken, Book 1

By: J. P. Valentine

Narrated by: Andrew Tell

The Questing Stones have come to Nowherested, and Evelia Greene is finally ready to receive her life's quest. Perhaps she'll be a great warrior, or a wealthy merchant, or a brilliant mage. Perhaps her quest is simply to live a quiet life, constantly honing a craft to the heights of perfection.

Or perhaps the Questing Stones will grant her the legendary mission of popping over to the next village to pick up a loaf of bread.

Wouldn’t that be ridiculous?

Eve can’t even begin to guess how or why she’s come by such an absurd life goal, nor how a level-one messenger girl is supposed to complete anything labeled as legendary, but at least she can be sure of one thing. No matter how many wolves or goblins attack, no matter how many speeding tickets she racks up, no matter how many bakeries spontaneously combust as she steps into town, one way or another, Eve is going to get that goddamned bread.

There just might be a few side quests along the way.

This book contains game elements, good jokes, bad jokes, worse jokes, and language strong enough to lift weights. Please enjoy.

Hilarious adventure with a great story

This book was hilarious, fun, and awesome! It was a great adventure with lots of jokes and puns, and I loved the characters. Going right now to get the second book.

Really good!

Thought I’d take a chance on a new author and a new narrator in the recent sale. Premise sounded fun.

It was most excellent fun. Charming and enough innovation to keep you hooked. I’ll be finishing this series. Has stats but isn’t heavy-handed about it.

Good audiobook

I loved it! Thought it was a little weird a man was narrating when the main character is female but I really enjoyed his preform.

Thoroughly Enjoyed

I like this type of world where there’s a game system in place already. So you don’t have people coming in from another world, trying to figure out the system. Instead you’re learning about characters who’ve grown up with the system and are trying to work it to their advantage

Love it and hate it

I really really enjoyed the story, the performance, the character bu8lding but...
If you are a Christian, this book made me cringe so many times with the God's da* . I'd rather read swearing than that [which there is plenty of]. But the God's Da**it. So so often ruined the book for me and I won't be buying the second one even though I liked the story.

Cinnamon Bun meets The Prince has No Pants

I jumped to this book after listening to The Prince has No Pants and it was right up my alley! If you enjoyed listening to the absurd and funny Prince then you'll probably also enjoy this book. The narrator did a fantastic job with this book, making it fun, engaging, and emotional throughout the whole journey.

I saw a few negative reviews about the humor and unusual swearing. And I feel it's like any comedy you'd either hate it or love it. The story mostly takes itself seriously, so don't take those reviews close to heart, you might enjoy this book so give it a try!

Quirky and fun (no spoilers)

Occasionally, I like a book where I can just take my brain out and laugh, this is one of those books. The writer is great at the "cheeky", "pun" and "groaner" humor along with some good old fashion banter. I found the world created to be quirky and fun. If you like a D&D world with characters that know they live in a D&D world this is for you.

not sure why people had an issue

to be honest ive read tons of lite rpg and theres tons of cursing. as far as i can see the only reason its an issue is cause the mc is a girl.

its a fun story and i found it super entertaining.
cant wait to see what they do with the world building.

Good story, but I was not laughing much

I found this book excellent, but I thought it would be funnier. I like the changes for the main character, but I'm getting the funny part was in how ridiculous their mission was, but I will keep reading this series.

Overall an Entertaining Listen for RPG Nerds

There are two types of LitRPGs, those that craftily weave the traditional mechanics of various role playing games into a story in a unique and imaginative way that enhances the story and explains things in a way that everyone can enjoy, and the lazy and less satisfying type that is basically just fan fiction woven around whatever game the author is currently fond of. This book is definitely the latter, and you really need to be a RPG gamer dork who revels in lots of arbitrary numbers assigned to physical and magical attributes to fully enjoy this book.In book form, maybe reading off lots of stats and figures practically every page would not be so bad, but listening to them being read out with little frame of reference as to what is a high or low number for each category is truly soul stealing.

With that said, I still managed to enjoy the book overall and thought the story was told in a unique enough way to hold my interest. The main character is very likable, although the dialogue is pretty bog standard novice fanfic level. I was also vaguely annoyed at the trope of having generally physically strong females and weaker, feminine males. It is an overdone thing and just irritating to see it yet again in another book, but at least it isn't done in a super exaggerated way and can be more or less looked over.

I know I sound very harsh about this book, but it is really because I see so much potential in it otherwise. I liked it - I really did. In fact, I'm about to continue the series. It has a good general plot, nice pacing, and a sense of mystery that keeps you reading to find out what happens next and how it all comes together. It's an entertaining listen that is well read, so if you are keen on these sorts of books, you will probably like it too.
