The Mad Immortal

Mad Immortal Series, Book 1

By: Eric Walsh

Narrated by: Kevin T. Collins

One hero's hopeless quest for glory may decide not only his own fate but that of the entire realm . . .

It's been two years since Nate abandoned his boring life on Earth to travel to another realm. Two years of slaying monsters to level up his elemental powers. Two years of longing to become a hero. So when one of the realm's immortal rulers betrays their kin, he vows to do whatever it takes to bring the renegade to justice.

Determined to prove himself, Nate leads his companions on a harrowing journey across molten hellscapes, primeval forests, and mind-bending temporal anomalies. They'll need every ounce of their collective wits, courage, and magic if they hope to survive.

But even if they find their quarry, will their combined strength be enough to stop the Mad Immortal?

Sad and long but interesting

The narrator was good, really did the story justice.
The author's story and story telling is good.

AudioBooks are difficult to pull off. The author has to produce a story that is both engaging and entertaining. Then the narrator has to do the same thing with their voice and give the story life. If both aren’t top notch the AudioBook is meh or it slips into something less than meh.

This one is just grindy. So very loong and sometimes boring. With a flawed MC striving for power that blinds him it is heart wrenching to see him hurt his friends with his greed for power. Complete with betrayal. Engaging and entertaining, but at times a heavy emotional rollercoaster. Sorta sad.

The magic system and mechanics are very good. The gear and rez mechanic gives me the shivers.
