The Pinnacle Warrior

The Pinnacle Warrior, Book 1

By: Ben Denton

Narrated by: Caren Naess

Her mother, a Spellblade, her father a Talismartist. So why did she have to be a Warrior?

When she was a child, Astrid heard stories about how her mother served on the walls of Humanity's Bulwark to protect their country from their inhuman enemies on every side. With terrifying stories about their many foes, she quickly decided to become a delver in the Dungeon. There, she could gain enough levels and experience to serve as one of Humanity's elites, to protect her borders and countrymen. To do that, she'd need a party, and she had a plan.

Finally, at 18, she's bestowed with a Class that she didn't plan for, and the rest of her friends that she was going to delve with abandoned their longtime plan. Now, she's all alone, trying to become a delver without her planned allies or family. With just her Skills and armor, she's going to show the world that, even if she doesn't have a lick of magic, Astrid Warrior can make her new party and will be a force to be reckoned with.

Absolutely phenomenal

Loved this start to finish though I will say it gets better the further in you get, but be forewarned; there is a downright cruel cliffhanger at the end of this book.

Ps: I will 100% be listening to the next one, and am about to go look up when it is scheduled to release.

Engaging story

Good pace, engaging story, full characters. Ending seemed a little flat, but definitely want to know what happens next.
