Good read but,

The series is pretty interesting so far. It’s not a great epic like the Cradle series or even as good as some of the other LitRpg’s but still enjoyable none the less.

Where this book got on my nerves was the first 8 chapters where the MC find himself back on the farm of the family that beat and abused him as a child and even tho he is much stronger and is a warlock, he still takes their reticule and abuse. I don’t mean for the MC to be ruthless and kill his childhood abusers, but he’s strong enough now to stop their continued abuse. Turning the other cheek is one thing, but enough is enough.

In love!

I love this series so much, there's never a dull moment. the characters are likeable and the narrator is entertaining.

Like Harry Potter On The Go

This is the first book that doesnt feel like every character is introduced to just kill them off. Yeah there is some PTSD type scenes, which adds to the realism. I mean it is a story about 14 year olds experincing more death and torture than anyone should ever have to. The fact that it feels less Game of Thrones like and more about developing characters actually makes the story better. Almost wanted to give it 5 stars. The shock at how evil people are when the villains have already proven they are genocidal is what stopped me though. At some point you just have to stop appealing to a homicidal sociopaths better angels.

nice easy read

I listened to this series inbetween books. it's written for a younger audience but is still fun. I wish there were less moments of "they found the thing" at the last second that will save them from the bad they walked into. still recomend for easy listening

Best of the Series So Far

Sever Bronny is obviously a still-maturing author but this book shows his progress going in the right direction. I am puzzled by his bad grammar and incorrect diction - it often seems as though he is writing with a thesaurus and does not really command the meaning of the words he chooses, again, seemingly, in haste - but this story is growing and sharpening and is thoroughly engrossing and engaging. Another page-turner by Sever Bronny. I fully recommend this title.

This story is very well constructed

This book is way better than the Harry Potter series can’t stop listening can’t wait to start the next series

Good Story But.........

The Main Protagonists seem to be intellectually and emotionally impotent at the most inopportune times. When they should kill, they defer. When they should be decisive they are wishy washy. I found myself being extremely frustrated with their lack of righteous and impotent anger. When they should be stern they spend their time wringing their hands. I like the saga but find myself very frustrated with many of their reactions to provacative situations. Teenagers are in reality made of sterner stuff than the protagonists display on a regular basis. They feel guilt when they should show righteous anger.

Loved It

I really enjoyed the narrators voice. Excellent reading. I will be listening to the rest of the books.

Action Packed

An amazing venture with fascinating creatures and vivid quests. Loved it! can't wait to start the next sequel.

Extreme Volume Swings

When the reader switches between certain characters (Robin being one), his voice gets very loud to the point I have to turn it down. Then, he'll go to a very quiet voice and I have to turn it back up. Not a big deal, just gets annoying and briefly takes me out of the story. Really good series so far.
