Fun Addition to the Multiverse

Revisado: 08-26-22

Initially I held off listening to the new story. I really wanted a continuation of Thomas and friends but I'm glad I added it to the library. It's a fun expansion on the original story and partial continuation. Narration was well done, other than the frustrating translocuted stuff.

ok listen for background

Revisado: 07-31-22

I'm interested enough to finish the story but not for a audio credit.

Narrator did a good job but in the last hour I think production dropped the ball and left in a chapter that was meant to have been cut. There were back to back chapters of different characters supposedly doing the same thing as a reveal in partially saving the day.

At the end, the MC who the book goes on and on how mature they are, is unable to verbalize any kind of defense against the clearly wrongful miscarriage of justice. No teachers speak up, no classmates speak up, all for drama.

Couldn't finish. Reads like a Greek tragedy.

Revisado: 12-02-20

Author stacks every card in the deck against MC, torturinging in some cases literally the entire way. It was over the top, skipped through multiple chapters until I have it up.

Good idea - But book is mostly stats

Revisado: 03-23-20

Not a good book for audio unless your a big stats fan. Even with skipping chapters, it makes listening while driving a pain. There were times where you'd have 2 minutes of story and a chapter of 2.5 minutes of stats. With that said, I like the story and I'll be reading the rest.

MC is a jack@$$

Revisado: 06-19-19

Jack is a selfish, moronic jerk. But he doesn't own it, worrying how others perceive you but going on to screw them over doesn't feel authentic. Couldn't carry on.

Not worth a credit.

Revisado: 04-30-19

Might be worth a skimmed read through if your curious about the cliff hanger from book 1.

While Luke Daniels was spot on, MC is a moron.

Revisado: 11-09-18

The MC was beyond frustrating and will leave you rolling your eyes. Had to come back to the book to finish it. I enjoyed the first two books.

Solid light book, very entertaining

Revisado: 08-06-18

I enjoyed this book and would absolutely say it's worth a credit. I try not spending credits on anything under 10 hours but glad I made the exception. Bahni Turpin did a great job narrating and I wouldn't mind listening to her other work. There were several laugh out loud moments. If there is a next one, I'd pick it up.

Hard to listen to

Revisado: 07-09-18

I've plowed through tons of litrpg books, I like the genre. But, this has some issues like the narrative changing with almost each character in the book and it's constantly shifting. Frustrating but not a deal breaker. Also, the characters don't seem to react to situations in a sane manner. If real death in and out of game is a real thing, they wouldn't be so cavalier with their lives like it's still a game. So much seems to be left unsaid and you're just told that these things are happening, not how or really why. I'm about 14 hours in and not sure I'll finish it. There are lots of really good reviews out there. If you need something to make it through the day, give it a try.

Hard on the ears. Listeners beware!

Revisado: 07-28-14

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Scott Brick the narrator has a good voice but the way that every sentence is read in his dramatic voice; is distracting & difficult to listen to. Much like a slow college lecture, you lose focus and start to tune Brick out. Nothing is emphasized or everything is, I'm not sure.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Scott Brick?

James Marsden, Luke Daniels, Pete Bradbury

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disgust & disappointment.

Any additional comments?

I admit I only made it in 6 or 7 hours through several start/stops. I've always seen the Shannara series available so I thought I'd see what the fuss is about. I may try to get a hard copy, there may still be some potential but I've never been so off put by a narrator before. I've weathered new narrators to favored series, with names & places mispronounced, better than this reading.
