Even after reading the synopsis I was initially a bit confused as the story folded back on itself, presenting as a multilayered dream. But sticking with it is certainly worth while. Reynolds resolves the confusion by the end. Personally I do like the bitter sweet ending for the POV character. Overall a great book that I’d recommend.

This series is chock full of pop culture references, but it was at some point during this book that I realized something. Ryan Rimmel must be a super nerd, if not the king of them. There’s scarcely a pop culture touchstone that doesn’t get a shoutout no matter how obscure. Disney, Star Trek, Star Wars, even Pitch Meeting, and everything in between.

I greatly appreciate the novel approach to a LitRPG. Plenty of humor as I listen to the protagonist flail about with complete ignorance of how the world in which he finds himself works. Performance and story are great. The only part I could do with more than a bit less is stopping the story at least once per chapter to fully go through Jim’s stats. I understand it’s part of RPG’s but it does tend to bring the plot progression to a screeching halt.

The synopsis did not disappoint. I was gripped by the tale from beginning to end. To be honest careful, attention to the details of the story each time the tale jumps to the past will help you get a pretty good idea of what Landon is hiding before it’s fully revealed, but not to the point of spoiling the emotional gut punch. I could barely stop listening as the tale unfolded especially as Landon struggles to survive. Will he survive? Will he come to terms with his secret? You’ll have to listen for yourself and see.

After having listened to KPS a while ago and reading the synopsis which made this one sound like another quirky adventure I was intrigued. I’m not saying it’s a bad story, quite the opposite, just a bit too cliche for my taste. Especially as it approaches the climax. I do appreciate the element of the nice guy not finishing last but many of the story beats can be seen coming a mile away. Wheaton’s performance is better than other books he’s narrated. He goes to the effort of giving more characters their own voice as he reads, unlike other books he’s read. Overall, just what I’d expected. A fun, off the wall adventure. I’d like to see what comes out of Scalzi’s mind next.
