Steamforged Sorcery

Steamforged Sorcery, Book 1

By: Actus

Narrated by: Peter Berkrot

The Great War ravaged the face of the Earth many years ago....

In the years that passed, society rebuilt, mixing machinery and magic to form something new. Great blimps took to the sky, belching steam and smoke, as metal city-states sprouted like weeds below.

Angel, a daring adventurer in the pursuit of powerful magic, scours the desert endlessly, in search of ancient magic. When he’s given an offer he can’t refuse, he finds out that he’s not the only one seeking lost knowledge. Others also seek the same power, but their methods leave cities razed in acrid smoke and the innocent in their wake.

In a race against a group who has lived in the shadows since the Great War, Angel will have to determine just how far he’s willing to go to accomplish his goals.

Experience the start of a Magitech LitRPG series by Actus, the author of Cleaver's Edge. Set in a steampunk fantasy world, it's perfect for fans of Arcane and Final Fantasy.

Interesting

Story jumps right in with barely any context, and feels similar to other stories that it's difficult to be invested. The magic and steam punk is interesting, but kinda all over the place with the technology.

Nice!

Loves it! Can't wait for the next book to find out if Angel reunites with Vanessa and Silver. And to see what adventures await the group.

a great story

I really enjoyed this story. I hope book 2 comes out soon. I highly recommend this book.

A LitRPG with a Goal

There's a ton of works in the genre centered around world building or saving the world. Steamforged Sorcery takes a more traditional approach with an escort plotline that doesn't deviate for silly reasons. Actus sticks to the plan and delivers a solid book with a fun magic system. Give it a go if you're tired of the standard fare.

simple and good story, interesting world

this is sort of a swashbuckling story about a treasure hunter hired to escort a girl across a monster and magic infested wasteland. not sure why steamforged is in the name, most of it is about magic and magic tools. it is a set up for a larger story so there isn't much pay-off but it was a fun story.

I liked the narrator, he doesn't have a wide range in voices but he did a good job. the writing is good with a few slips in spacial placement of characters (I also don't think the author knows what tusks are.)
