First Arand/Darren book I couldn't finish.

Revisado: 05-08-24

I made it partially through chapter 31 after going through 2 chapters of incel crap, and the feeling that the protagonist would have done necrophilia if he didn't have another person with him judging.

it felt like 30 seconds of moving the story, then 3 minutes of talking about sex, over and over, for 2 chapters. and it's with a woman we have barely met.

I hoped for better.

Very fun and relaxing book.

Revisado: 10-12-23

This is mainly a romance novel. It is a good listen. The climax of the book is meh/mid. I really enjoyed it regardless.

Exactly what I wanted, some slice of life.

Revisado: 07-11-23

Fantastic little story, greatly narrated. The characters are full fleshed out, and tend to not be one dimensional.

My favorite part, that a lot of books miss on, is leave some of the mystery. We do not need to know how everything works. Leave some stuff to our imagination, just let us know enough to get by. The mystery lets our mind wander and ask questions about this or that, and it really brings more enjoyment and thoughts to it.

Also, I got this because I was looking at books narrated by Travis Baldree. I was extremely surprised when at the start it said it was written by him! He narrates 2 of my favorite Farmer Series, and am glad to see him put a great book out.

This is fun, usually relaxing, and sweet story to listen to.

Bad Narration and over explaining.

Revisado: 07-11-23

This could have been a great story. Honestly, it is not a terrible story, it is the narration that makes the bad parts really stand out.

Narration: Female parts where they should be yelling, or in a very intense situation, where urgency is needed, they just whisper. There was a 3 way conversation between the MC, his guide, and a female companion, and I was never able to guess which was the guide, and which was the companion. There is no emotion, the inflections are all wrong. It is hard to listen to.

Story: Most everything is over explained, sometimes overexplained multiple times. If you are reading the kindle version, it might be good for teens or pre-teens to learn the genre. Otherwise it is a slog to get through. Maybe there is some minimum word count that is needed that he had to hit.

The story has a good premise, and some decent parts, but those do not outshine how awful it is to listen to it. I kept listening, hoping it would get past that, like maybe the first half would be system and world building, but it really never stopped.

Characters are a little simple, but not terrible. I feel this book could be better if a lot of the fat is trimmed, and more interesting scenes are input. He was in a city/town, he could have been working with some of the citizens for something, instead of being focused on one small part of the whole place.

Not terrible for a first book, if it is a first book. If there was better narration, I would have probably had a good time. A 3 start story with a 5 star narration is a good time. But a 3 star story with a 1 star narration is a waste. I am glad my time was not wasted as I listen while driving.

This is Incel Porn

Revisado: 06-11-20

The voice acting is pretty good, although I agree with some of the other reviews, that the inflections and tones could have been done better to be less grating. But overall this is just Incel Porn.

The Characters fall into 3 categories so far.
Main Character: Is a mentally strong man who reviles women for their evil ways and is a scientist that is also a fabricator at the same time somehow.
Antagonistic Women: Straight Matriarchal females, who somewhat smart, and 1 dimensional evil.
Female Heroines: Smart or dumb(Literally doing the dumbest shit during inopportune times that changes nothing, just annoying) and completely devoted to the Main character, willing to serve hand and foot. Also the smart one is still a simpleton.

I listened to the whole thing, so I will not refund it, but will not be buying the next one.

This is the 2nd series I have tried from Eric Vall, the other being 2 books from the Summoner Series, They are all very simple in tone. Almost no depth or forethought in the writing.

If you do like this style, but prefer more fleshed out characters and plot, give Logan Jacobs a try. I am not a fan of most of his work, but Skullduggery is very well done so far.

A Great Story!

Revisado: 12-05-18

This book is not about tons of action. It is more of a story, with intrigue. Very well written and performed.

Just not a fan.

Revisado: 09-14-18

I am not exactly sure why I dislike this book.

Could be The narrator's voice and his inability to convey emotions well. Maybe it is the predictable storyline with "surprises" easily seen coming.

There is a gamer who does not think like a gamer, and a necro whose character seems to be made by someone who never dealt with a real bully, and just decided to make him over the top dumb and evil.

I got the 2nd book because I thought it might improve.

I was wrong.

Just so much fun.

Revisado: 01-23-18

Bringing the reincarnation/summoning genre, that is huge in Asia, to an American theme, The Land is an amazing story with rich characters, hilarious comedy, and great action sequences. As always, Nick does a great job at bringing the books to life, and leaving us wanting more!
