The Portal

The Fire Mage Chronicles, Book 1

By: Roland Carlsson

Narrated by: Erin Bateman

I am not of this world.

It was an ordinary Friday.

Dungeons and Dragons with the crew. A few IPAs.

Maybe some hummus.

That was all until a careless mistake sent me hurtling into another dimension.

I don't understand everything just yet. With elves, trolls, and some sort of ultimate bad-ass called the Lich King running around, how could I?

But, what I do understand is this: I have a job to do.

Because for the first time in a long time, people depend on me.

And my actions could mean the difference between life and death not just for me, but for all of Zamina.

Interesting world

I really like the world building so far, promising start to a new series.

The narration is very well done, Erin did a great job as always.

The story slowly ramps up with some minor pacing issues, I am really looking forward for book 2

A fun twist on a other world story

First an foremost the narrator does an amazing job bringing these characters to life. The plot is great, with enough action, suspense. and drama with out being overly predictable. The author succeeded where many of this genre miss the mark. Balancing sexy time with the plot without it comeong across as forced or over the top. overall I highly recommend giving this book listen,.you will not regret it.

I got into it

I read the book on KU a few months ago. And kind of forgot about the rest of the series.
I think it’s a great book. The audio was excellent.
I’m going to finish the other 3 books on KU now.

a great progressive story

an awesome start to a great series. the mc is finally an adult and thinks logically. while the mc isn't op at the start he isn't completely useless either. it was a fun ride that didn't fall into a couple pet peeves of mine within the story. I wouldn't say the book ends with a cliffhanger but with a nice visualizing of the goal for the next adventure. I'm looking forward to the next chapter and recommend it completely.

Excellent book with good story progression

Excellent story with the mc finding new friends and enemy's who want to use him. Great book though it does feel as though relationships are moving fast with very little time to interact. This is more of a personal thought than an actual issue. The book will make you want to continue to the end to see what happens next.
