Don't trust the cover

Revisado: 05-01-24

The cover makes it seem like the story was more cheesy than it is. it has some cheese but a good story and character development.

A very underrated series.

Revisado: 02-10-22

I have listened to the majority litrpg and this first book stands respectfully next to any of them. It might not add any new mechanics or evolve the genre but it is a solid choice that should get much more attention and acclaim. if you like the genre it is a safe selection.

Got political and anti American messages.

Revisado: 12-31-21

I am not one to see or care about it but when the character is donning the mantle of Savior of all humanity but then refuses to help America because of their arrogance but helps the country that has tried to kill him multiple times and toured his dear friend. well that means the author just wanted to say screw you to all Americans.

Hopefully a series low.

I did not like the story, not to give to much away but there were a few resets and it felt like nothing progressed. I understand that the main character cannot come out on top all the time but when you build a witty character that always does something unexpected it feels wrong when he gives up and just does what is wanted of him.

Solid book

Revisado: 07-09-21

I will be continuing the series. If you are a fan of the genre give it a try but if you are a fan you probably already read it listened to it.

I hated it in the beginning hour of the first book but after that it picks up and the characters start to develop. can't wait to start the next book.

This is the Golden Standard.

Revisado: 07-25-18

This Audio book should be the golden standard of which others are judged. Is this a perfect book? No but what holds the book and series down at times are minor specially considering the length of each book. The only negative I can tie to this is that sometimes the world is stale and the story does not move or flow evenly and the character that you are invested in the most is taking a back seat. Now while I write this I imagine other people reading this and thinking I am crazy but as I said this is a minor thing specially for a book so long.

The world is full of possibilities and I for one am hoping Sanderson does not go the way everyone else is going and Sanderson breathes mystery back to life in the world. I feel the story arc of a world of magic that is dying and the main character equipped with magic's final existence faces the forces of evil on last time over done and I for one need a break. But, even if he does the easy route this book will stand hand and shoulders above the others.

The character development is well done but the story steps up when the main characters begin to interact with each other. This is when Sanderson hits his full momentum. Though most of the main characters are like butterflies and they cocoon at the same time but it is interesting to watch them emerge and discovered their new evolution. I hope as the story goes on that the characters continue to shape and pull towards and away from others as life goes on. Most likely you will attach to a certain character but in this book it is clear who the author wants you to bond with, but the other books open it up a bit and allows a wider spot light to more characters which allows the story to either move swiftly of bog down a bit if you grow to not like a character as much as the others.

The world is worth reading the book alone. The history is much more than most books and I feel he could write a trilogy on the history he is building the story on; if not two the distant past and the most recent history that triggered current events. If I had to find a weakpoint in the world and it would be a minor one the world revolves around a small area of the world and the rest of the world is merely there and keeps to themselves but adding foreign affairs to the interplay of politics of the court could easily become overwhelming.

The plot is or appears to be well flushed out and planned with very little artificial or forced movement of the plot and everything seems to develop naturally. Plot devices are not forced and they are not written into the story because the author needed it but as vehicles to allow the characters to develop and push them forward despite themselves. There is a timeline the author puts and I am worried that it will cut the amount of exploration in the world but however the story goes I cannot wait to listen to one of the best authors of our time. Sanderson continues to develop his skills and impress those that reed his books time and time again and it is interesting to continue to follow Sanderson and witness his development. For me he is the hidden character in all of his novels and I hope he does not stop developing.

Oh wow.

I don't know how the sample is not that bad but the story is filled with the narrator narrating the following type of writing in a removed unfeeling voice. Character one said "one short sentence" Character two replied "another short sentence" Character one replied "one word response" The reviews are so good my mind is blown and I do not know if it is just a really slow and bad start and the narrator starts to bring the characters to life or if the writing stops being choppy and allows the narrator to do his job.

Nice character development, the world could use some more developing but overall I am hopeful for the rest of the trilogy.

Solid fantasy novel.

Revisado: 02-03-17

For me it had a rough start where I did not care about the main characters and they did not seem to have a voice but the writing quality grows along side the character development. All in all it was a simple but enjoyable read.
