fantastic and original story. first story is good and establishes the hook, but book 2 is really where it will sell you.

The war is finally here.

Revisado: 10-30-24

Everything you were expecting and more, fantastic job of getting us the feeling of the colony was at war and battling superior forces for months.

Sieges, battles and magic, what more could you ask for?

Being a door kicker myself once upon a time, i want to preface there are quite a few cringe "boot" moments in this story, with that minor gripe said i still found it to be a realistic environment for what the MC could experience. This story is very much akin to "undying mercenary" or "old mans war" in terms of portrayal of infantry combat. It does a great job, although there are certain caveats to the uninitiated that are not things that would happen but nonetheless those are minor gripes that would not affect you unless you've been enlisted and know how unrealistic it would be. very minor gripes in this regard.

With that being said, as for the story, i found book 1 "conscript" to be okay, my personal opinion is it really dragged on far longer then it should have, the entirety of the story is pretty much focused on boot camp training. While i think a lot could have been removed, the author drops enough meta plot points to the MC throughout to keep you invested in the series ( i don't want to give the impression it is not worth it, because again, enough good bits happen that make it worth your while to continue on). Despite my feelings of the boot camp section lingering longer then it should have, we are introduced to core characterization as well as people who help set the foundation for the series, as well massive plot events, so context is necessary for the setting the stage.

The last quarter of the book and the entirety of book 2 progresses far more naturally in my opinion and sticks to what the author does best, life as a infantryman. The combat is very infantry focused, it does a fantastic job of representing this to the readers, so if that is what you are here for you will eventually get what you wanted. The meta plot hooks are very interesting and i am curious to see where the author is going to take it with several of the plot lines of which i was invested in all of them by the end of book 2.

Overall again, i felt like book 1 kinda dragged its feet in some places, but book 2 redeemed itself by itself and fixed any narrative issues i was ever feeling on the series, overall 7/7.5ish out of 10, if you like infantry based combat you will enjoy where this series is going.

it's almost all slice of life.

Revisado: 09-22-23

cool concept, unfortunately there is only about 1 or 2 chapters worth of material of progression, the rest is just all slice of life esque stuff or explaining our modern world to people.

another great addition, with one big problem

Revisado: 09-14-23

this is another great addition to the series, Jeff hays/sound booth increased the production quality in many small and subtle ways making it more like a graphic audio book.

the one issue is the editing for this book is very bad sadly. there are alot of points where I noticed sentences were cut off at the very end, which makes it kind of a jarring experience throughout. this could be fixed with the editor doing another pass on the book but I was very surprised to see this issue pop up far more then I would of expected. maybe a dozen or two times throughout.

overall though, this is a minor issue in my opinion considering the overall increased production value of the book.

first quarter to half was kinda slow and felt like mmorpg filler, but once it picked up it was insanely hard to drop and kept me roped in like the first book.
