Ruin Reborn

By: David K. Hall

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A monster reborn. A world unprepared. Ruin Reborn unravels the harrowing progression of a monstrous being whose dark legacy spans two thousand years. Once a creature of unrelenting violence, Ruin ravaged a frozen world shrouded in eternal darkness until a fateful bargain with a cunning lich resulted in his death and rebirth in an unfamiliar universe.

Trapped in the fragile body of a human slave, Ruin finds himself a cog in a cruel and unjust empire on the brink of wars it cannot win. Amid the squalor of slave pens, on the bloody sands of the arena, and in the camaraderie forged in the crucible of battle, a spark of self-discovery is ignited. He develops a conscience, and new emotions emerge. As storm clouds gather over the empire, Ruin and his unlikely companions must traverse a perilous world rife with treachery, blood-soaked ambition, duels, assassinations, and forbidden magic. But Ruin isn’t a pawn in anyone’s game; he’s a walking apocalypse, a calamity poised to bend the rules to his will.

lots of things stood out

I won't really go into a really long in-depth review because I don't really know honestly I'm usually pretty critical of book series but in this one there's very few things to complain about honestly what I complain about the most is that there's like one or two times where they forget the main characters name from one moment he's scar the next moment he's ruin but ruin is supposed to be his alias from the other world And he gets introduced as that name to an entire group of people without any preamble.... especially because he went through his tournament fights as scar

or maybe the fact that when the emperor had given summons for his illegitimate child they just decided to go yeah nah we don't need to show up... Even though the entire purpose of the story up to this point was to legitimize him... also I don't really know what this writer's trying to convey but you don't really get to deny or ignore emperors when they give you an official summon 🫤 That's not how that kind of thing works...
