Sovereign

In the System, Book 5

By: Petr Zhgulyov, Sofia Gutkin - translator

Narrated by: Gabriel Vaughan

The return to the city of goblins draws ever closer but Ivan Susanin's survival hangs in the balance. It is more than just the monsters. The capture of the Dungeon, creation of the Minor Altar and growth of the Cult of Heresy has attracted the attention of the Earth gods. The number of contenders for the grand prize is growing, hostile gods are joining the race, and the existence of an independent candidate is unacceptable.

Nevertheless, the gods cannot sentence one of the Alliance leaders and the strongest player on Earth to death. Ivan has forty days to prepare for the talks, choose his arguments, and defend his right to remain independent. As far as the gods are concerned, all he can do is choose which side to take, or die, having been branded a traitor.

Fortunately, there is a way out and it doesn't require anything particularly new. Ivan just needs to fight back . . . all so that humanity might survive this war!

I love this guy!

Can’t wait for the next one! I’m so surprised more people aren’t into this book.

A lot of set up

There was a lot of planning and conversations leading to the major event but not a lot of happenings. It was overall pretty flat. Good background stuff but not very for an active listen. I wish a lot more had happened. And that he had exercised some of his growth and was more active
In recruiting/gaining skills. He seemed to be used up some great opportunities on mediocre gains. The expenditure of his system points(sp) was pretty flippant and almost gear to make sure he didn’t get OP.

Ehhhh

He actively makes decisions to slow down his progress and I don’t get it. The author makes him seem smart but then goes down dumb tangents way too often and drags his thoughts out too much. The action was and build up did not match. Good build up but nothing really came of it. These books are also too short. Good book for background noise while driving or something.
