Good read but,

The series is pretty interesting so far. It’s not a great epic like the Cradle series or even as good as some of the other LitRpg’s but still enjoyable none the less.

Where this book got on my nerves was the first 8 chapters where the MC find himself back on the farm of the family that beat and abused him as a child and even tho he is much stronger and is a warlock, he still takes their reticule and abuse. I don’t mean for the MC to be ruthless and kill his childhood abusers, but he’s strong enough now to stop their continued abuse. Turning the other cheek is one thing, but enough is enough.

AMAZING

This series is one of has become one of my absolute favorites, and the narration is outstanding; The voice actor is incredibly talented, they have so many voices that fit the characters really well and their energy throughout the many different parts of the book always match the moments very well. Apart from the reader making this book even better to listen to, the story itself is absolutely riveting and is a must read for anybody that loves fantasy adventure and a well written book.

In love!

I love this series so much, there's never a dull moment. the characters are likeable and the narrator is entertaining.

Like Harry Potter On The Go

This is the first book that doesnt feel like every character is introduced to just kill them off. Yeah there is some PTSD type scenes, which adds to the realism. I mean it is a story about 14 year olds experincing more death and torture than anyone should ever have to. The fact that it feels less Game of Thrones like and more about developing characters actually makes the story better. Almost wanted to give it 5 stars. The shock at how evil people are when the villains have already proven they are genocidal is what stopped me though. At some point you just have to stop appealing to a homicidal sociopaths better angels.

Good Story But.........

The Main Protagonists seem to be intellectually and emotionally impotent at the most inopportune times. When they should kill, they defer. When they should be decisive they are wishy washy. I found myself being extremely frustrated with their lack of righteous and impotent anger. When they should be stern they spend their time wringing their hands. I like the saga but find myself very frustrated with many of their reactions to provacative situations. Teenagers are in reality made of sterner stuff than the protagonists display on a regular basis. They feel guilt when they should show righteous anger.
