Warden

Nova Online, Book 1

By: Alex Knight

Narrated by: Todd Boyce

Ready Player One meets Halo

Imprisoned for a murder he didn't commit, Kaiden's only hope of early release is in serving as a Warden in the game world of Nova Online.

Playing as a unique class while surrounded by aliens, pirates and warring guilds, he and his squad are tasked with protecting new players and enforcing the rule of law.

But Kaiden has other ideas; he is intent on proving his innocence. The keys to his freedom lie hidden in the game's seedy underbelly. And as he'll soon discover, the bloody trail that led to his arrest is more twisted than he could have ever imagined.

YA, Slow, got bored

It is well written, but slow. I couldn’t tell if it was the narrator or the story, but I didn’t get engaged.

Some parts where I expected to have more depth were skimmed over. For example the basic training scene seemed to be over before it even got started.

I didn’t finish it.

YA

Nothing wrong with a book being targeted at a young teen audience, but i do wish they’d label it as such. Not worth your time as an adult listener. Very basic plot and character s.

Good story for the online part

So 1st off the online part was great though things felt a little rushed. However the real word part felt like the author reading The Hunger games a few to many times while writing this. Good story but well honestly I wished he would of said yes to the Captain. It would of been something different sadly the excellent start petered off near the end.

My three year old love the part he heard because his name is Kyden and we call him Ky so he loved the parts he got to listen to. So I will be getting book two.

Kaiden not Caden

I enjoyed this audio book. Intermittently the narrator would mispronounce the name of the main character. It was slightly annoying but not enough to ruin the experience.

The story was good and engaging. Some scenes were reminiscent of "Ender's Game".

A Masterpiece in LitRPG Literature

This was hands down the best LitRPG story I have ever listened to. I really appreciated that the vulgarity was kept to a minimum, and the few instances where any did appear it was appropriate to the story. I also liked that there wasn't any sleaze, which unfortunately has become increasingly common for this genre. Most of all, the gaming mechanics were very well developed. I found myself just as intrigued in the gaming mechanics as I was in the story. The plot of the story was also extremely well designed, and I easily found myself caught up inside the storyline. The narrator's performance was also exceptional. Well done! Very impressed. I can't wait to hear the sequel!
