Reborn as a Fire Mage Box Set (Vol. 1-3)

By: Austin Beck

Narrated by: Darren Helms, Julia Sage

Can a firefighter learn to embrace the very thing he has tried to kill his entire career?

Mason Magrath is a hero in every sense of the word. As a fearless firefighter, he has dedicated his life to saving others and never hesitates to put himself in harm's way. But when he falls down an elevator shaft in a burning skyscraper, it seems that his bravery has finally met its match.

Or has it? When Mason awakes, he finds himself transported to the world of Lelara, a land overrun by monstrous fiends with a ravenous taste for flesh. With the help of a mysterious god, Mason discovers that he has been imbued with the power of a Fire Mage, and must use his newfound abilities to build a refuge and protect himself and others from the relentless horde.

But Mason is not one to face such challenges alone. When he encounters Lola and Piper, a pair of catgirl sisters in need of his help, Mason fights off Hell itself to save them. With their aid, Mason sets out to use the full extent of his powers as a Fire Mage to defend Lelara and its people from the terrors that lurk in the shadows.

Join Mason on a thrilling journey as he battles against impossible odds, rescues those in need, and rises as a hero in a world where courage and bravery are tested at every turn. With his heat-wielding abilities and unwavering determination, Mason is a force to be reckoned with in this epic tale of life, death, and the power of the human spirit.

A good story that needs editing & proofing

The story here is a good one. No spoilers from me though. The only thing I can say is that the 3rd book has a lot of errors. I don't know if it was reader (narrator) or writer, but it was very bad. lots of grammatical errors, spelling/reading errors and errors in recording. The reading was sub par as well. The inflection was incorrect, the mood of the narrator was off, the sex scenes were not hot or steamy. It was almost like an AI read the story.

5 stars

Well done. Well narrated.  will be looking forward to the next from this author. I received this copy free in exchange for an honest review.

15h of fun

a great series. 15h of pure action and spice.
great base building and progression mixed in

Good, but could be better

Overall it was good, but it could be much better. The side characters could have been fleshed out more and given more time before joining the MC in bed.

There was also a lack with transitions between scenes. Books 1 and 2 didn't have many, but book 3 had quite a few.

Voice-wise, they could have been a bit better. Mostly thought they could change their tone more rather than keeping a steady performance.

May be a good choice for the right audience

This may be a good choice for those looking for a raunchy, very simple, low-stress harem, gamelit fantasy featuring an all-American male who happens to rescue sexy alien girls while trying to survive on an alien world. However I would strongly advise those seeking a satisfying gamelit/ litrpg experience or even a cogent plot to look elsewhere.

Book 1 seems to set up a decent story but unfortunately, other than the harem element, the story never really seems to develop. Most of the story details: the magic system, people, places, things are introduced but then rarely, if ever, used again. Instead the protagonist and harem members continue to venture on to new quests and new details that are mostly unrelated to the rest of the story. Also as the story progresses the quality of the story rapidly declines as if the author was racing against a deadline.

On a positive note the narrators performed very well and early-on some of the story elements seemed creative and interesting.
