Can't stop listening!

Revisado: 09-18-23

A perfect blend of humor, low-key fun with some deep emotional moments. This novel reminds me of the fun that playing RPGs with friends can be while also being realistic about how people can be in MMOs.

Vivid and Detailed, can't say enough great

Revisado: 11-17-22

If you loved how Mercedes Lackey could bring together character from different series you will love this one. It takes a deft hand to weave together multiple stories, plots and time lines so fluidly.
Like all his works the details and vivid. I can not say enough good about this book.
*there are some flash back sequences so do pay attention and not zone out.

the space exploration we grew up wanting

Revisado: 09-20-21

If you grew up watching any scifi and dreaming of exploring brave new worlds this is the book for you. The pop culture references anyone of us would make are deftly sprinkled into key moments providing texture, fan service and humor to the story.

Ross proves that great space stories don't have to be bogged down in drama nor dark to be great or to tackle deeper meanings in their stories.

Jumping into Science Fiction while keeping the Fun

Revisado: 08-26-20

All the wit and banter I love out of Ross' books. So excited to see him jumping into a scifi book while keeping what I so love in his voice.

There is definitely science to his science fiction but not so much that it takes over the story, or frustrates readers who don't 'science', while also not having having too much 'hand waving' away of the science.

Great balance, so excited to see where this world is going to go.

Captivating and great Pandemic read

Revisado: 08-12-20

this is not my normal style of book by any means so I was suprised by how truly captivating it is. Many authors strive to create stories so real and emotional. This is a gem and will stay with you.

Best LitRPG I've read

Revisado: 06-01-20

Unlike some of the books in the LitRPG category this book reads as if the author is a gamer. This is a story with developed characters and understanding of people and game mechanics.
The "character sheets" don't take away from the story nearly as much as they do with most books like this one. Also, is lacking in the depressive tropes.

a fun new world.

Revisado: 04-15-20

A great listen. I would say the world is a nice mix of some modern tropes used wisely. a dash of hunger games society structure, a bit of boarding school environment and some great sass to mix in some fresh takes.

my only complaint is: "to be continued" is a sucky ending. just delete the sentence and the finish of the story is much better.

not your typical 'boy and his Dragon story

Revisado: 04-01-20

Great book, I enjoyed the subtle use of tropes and Turing them on their sides. There are some elements in it that remind me of Mercedes Lackey's early works as well as some classic elements that mix in a bit of Lord of the Rings. Don't worry they do more than hike in the woods.

Such a great step in the series.

Revisado: 02-28-20

Great, I loved the character development. It's hard to say much favorite parts without giving away spoilers. Kellan's altergo has a super creep creepy voice.
