Historia
A [Mage] team from Wistram Academy is dogging Pisces, Ceria, Ksmvr, and Yvlon's steps, with revenge in mind. However, adventurers must work, and the Horns have been called on as security for an ambitious project: building a road past the Bloodfields towards the rest of southern Izril. There is more to the world than just Liscor, however. Players of Celum are coming to Invrisil with a splash. There are [Knights] from Terandria roaming around Izril after their battle with the Witch of Webs, and they have heard tell of a mysterious slayer of Goblins.

Like all the other books before, once again the story both grips you with excitement and moves you to tears. Incredible...

Historia
"No killing Goblins." So reads the sign outside of The Wandering Inn, a small building run by a young woman named Erin Solstice. She serves pasta with sausage, blue fruit juice, and dead acid flies on request. And she comes from another world. Ours. It's a bad day when Erin finds herself transported to a fantastical world and nearly gets eaten by a Dragon. She doesn't belong in a place where monster attacks are a fact of life, and where Humans are one species among many. But she must adapt to her new life. Or die.

TWI is NOT litrpg
Revisado: 04-27-21
Erin, the MC, gets transported to another world, full of monsters and different races of people.
That's where the comparison to litrpg ends.
When I read a lot the negative comments, it seems like the main gripe is that the MC isn't a gamer gaming the system from page one, which seems to be a trope in most of the litrpg I've read, that and a complete lack of empathy combined with some misogyny.
Erin is a regular girl, except for being a chess nut, she doesn't have the power of the (dead) gods, doesn't go on a killing spree just cause she can and it'll give her more power. She isn't the psychopath MC you find in a lot of litrpg,
What does Erin do? Make friends, a lot of friends, who will help her survive dangers of the world.
The Wandering Inn is not a litrpg, as in no minutes long reciting of stats expressed in numbers and endless listing of spells, skills and class features.
People level, people gain skills, but they don't run around looking at a character sheet. This world isn't a game. People get hurt, people die.
Erin is young, still trying to figure herself out, is a bit lazy, hates violence and tries not to judge people based on species, class or creed.
The other MC, Ryoka, has some problems she took along when she got transported. She's self righteous, arrogant, has a bad temper and some daddy issues. She's a basic spoiled brat. This does gets her in trouble and leaves her very alone.
The two eventually meet and over the course of the series (pirateaba is writing book 8 now) they help eachother grow as people. No sudden about turn in personality, this happens gradually and some things never change, just like real people.
Some of the comments say Erin is whining and Ryoka is grating. Which is true to some extent, but that's not all they are. To me this is one of the greatest strengths of the series, characters with real reactions and growth, depth.
I read reviews of people who couldn't believe Erin, the quasi-shut-in, didn't know how to make fire without matches or that she chose to clean up the place she was staying in, in stead of just rolling in the dust... [Disdainful Eye Roll]
If your idea of a good read is a an overpowered protagonist rushing through a world full of two-dimensional characters, killing everyone and everything with ease and without a moral compass, this is not the series for you.
If you like people that feel and whose problems are real, like figuring out how to handle a visit from aunt Flo;
if you like a story about people in different walks of life, eccentric and mundane;
if you like a story about the people and not just what they do, then this just might be a story for you!

Historia
In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune—and control of the OASIS itself.

Beguiling!
Revisado: 12-05-16
Mr Cline has achieved the unfathomable: he has not only succeeded in making us read an Orwellian novel but actually enjoy it too!
Granted, the charm of all the 80ies pop-culture references was irresistible, but it's more than just an encyclopedic enumeration of dry fact, there's a roller coaster adventure plot as well and the performance of Mr Wheaton made the characters jump out of the speakers. A must !

There and back again, and again, and again
Revisado: 04-28-16
Spoilers. Flee the palace, run back to the palace. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. There, 3 quarters of the book. And then we got some magic.
If you want to read about Elminster spellhurler, Elminster mighty mage, then this book is not for you. If you like a farce, then maybe, if you don't mind the lack of humor.
I'm not saying there's no magic, or humor, but all in rather unsatisfying amounts. Leaving me without any desire to read the next book.

#ICantWaitForAnEvenBetterBook
Revisado: 01-27-16
So, I've loved the serie so far. And IMHO it keeps getting better and better. If were to try to explain why, I'd probably give to much away (really, a review doesn't have to be summary). Tension is high, my expectations of the next instalment are ridiculous... Erin, just keep doing what you're doing.
Dina Pearlman does a more than acceptable job narrating, she's consistent, has a good feel for the atmosphere and I get the feeling she's secretly loving the Draconic swearing...
