Above average for LRPG. Mature characters and decisions, but, still easy to listen to. Worth a read, look forward to seeing how the series plays out.

Glorious and Painful, but I couldn't stop listening to all 5.

Revisado: 05-19-17

This is a overall review of all 5 books. I couldn't identify well with the main character, at least half the time. I find him infuriating and frustrating at times. I can't figure out if the author did this on purpose, or his good natured bungling came across from the narrator. I wanted to slap him sooo many times. I do find, on these occasions, my attractiveness level for the character goes up when I read instead of listen. A few of the narrative sections felt repetitive and annoying to listen to because of this. If I was reading I would have skimmed those paragraphs and slowed for the rest. Overall it was enjoyable and a little addictive.

I really did enjoy the world and reality mix. I can see many branching story threads, and I have no idea what final direction the author is going to take. The ending was a bit abrupt, but it worked. You could even end the series there, with the cliff hanger giving rise to many questions and open threads unresolved. That's not my cup of tea though. There are two more books at least that have yet to be translated from Russian that I can't wait to read. Oh if you come across the (really, really) short story and are looking forward to the next book. DON'T read it yet. I misunderstood what spoilers they were talking about. However, if you could not abide by the abrupt ending and can't wait it may grant you the patients you need.

RPG as a book.

Revisado: 04-02-17

An interesting perspective. Enjoyable, but some dissonance regarding fluctuations in maturity level content and the humour that I'm finding hard to describe exactly why I thought it was mildly irritating. They did not significantly detract from the overall experience.

Good story performance.

Revisado: 02-23-15

Although an epic tale it flowed well and characters were not introduced at too fast a rate. Interesting characters, each with flaws and issues that colour their choices. Performance: each character was distinct enough that it was easy to tell whom was whom. A pleasant warm narration that's easy to listen too.

Good story and performance flat characters.

Revisado: 02-13-15

The seemingly one dimensional main characters still lets this series down. I had hope, because the secondary and side characters felt real, where as the single virtue embodiment of the main characters gets old. Maybe it's intentional, however, the lack of growth or adaptation lets it down in my opinion. Every situation is approached the same way by the same character. Despite the life treating consequences faced no one seems to learn anything.
Now that I think about it, it is not the life altering battles that annoy me, it's the day to day description that loose it. A prince that can't act at least a little civilised and still be portrayed as a murdering bastered is I think what looses it for me. The author goes too far with the uncompromising state of each main character that you can no longer identify with them. A swordsman who has the determination and dedication to be the best surely would learn in the process of fighting a few skills he could apply to life.

Too much unbelievable romance ruined a good story

Revisado: 02-09-15

I enjoyed the book, but, I found myself frustrated at the almost random and constant insertion of dick throbbing vag dripping drama that was not consistent with the characters personalities. A 300 year old elf and a virginal tavern wench in the heavy male chauvistic culture should not respond to the a la carte weak advances of a 14 year old concept of lust and love.
The rest of the times I thought the characters different enough and their motivations believable, but in reality, this was a weak romance novel with a few short scenes of magical kick ass.
I think if the author reduced the number of mind numbing erections scenes it would have had a greater impact when they did occur.

Good story.

Revisado: 01-25-15

Had trouble in the beginning with the main characters "stupidity". But it got better as it went on and I realised it was just a bit of character development that was overlong on the no brains side. Some of the action felt short. I realise it was meant to be abrupt intentionally but it did not have enough contrast to have that sudden feeling. Overall I enjoyed the story for its originality.

Light good listen

Revisado: 01-20-15

Short light story that moves forward at a reasonable pace. Not an overly complex theme, but interesting non the less.

Hard to get into but then good

Revisado: 01-19-15

Not sure if it was just too jumpy in the beginning, or because I got interrupted so many times before I could get started, and had to listen to the first several chapters multiple times, but once I identified all the players the story flowed. Even though it heads towards a predictable destination all the twists and turns are unexpected and imaginative. I look forward to having time to listen to the sequel.
