Okay book bad performance

Revisado: 06-07-24

The Book:
Overall it the book was okay. The magic was decent but the author couldn't keep a consistent culture.

The Performance:
I tried a few times to listen to this book but the performance was bad. On top of that the editing was rough and patched together in many different places.

I wouldn't recommend this audible book, but it might be worth getting the text book.

Bad performance and Writing was rough-hewn

Revisado: 02-04-24

To start off the performance for me was bad. It was very one tone for most of the time. And the few times there was a shift in tone it was overly portrayed. The Audio quality was fine and Kevin T. Collins did a good job at pronouncing most of the words as well.

The writing was slightly better than the performance. The story was essentially a bad version of Harry Potter mixed with cultivation. It seemed like the author didn't intend for this book to be grimdark but it was. The MC is constantly belittled and bullied, and the different protagonist are essentially dumb brutes who dont think and punch down. I would call this a YA book based off the flow of the story line but the content seems to aim more adult.

I have read many books who over look small details or go the expected path and liked many of them. This book has both those flaws and every other trope you can imagine. I would not recommend this book to friends, and I am baffled at the other reviews here.

good story, better series

Revisado: 08-28-23

you can tell this is the first book in a series. Lots of great ideas but the execution mixed with the performance wasn't great. I did end up reading the next book in the series and have enjoyed it a lot. Most of the execution flaws were fixed by the second book.

As expected from other books

Revisado: 08-18-23

Overall basically the same thing as the other books in this series. But darker than previous ones slightly. I really dislike that part of this series. Every bad person is always stronger and every one always dies. The mc makes the same mistakes over and over.

Great story

Revisado: 07-27-23

This was a well executed story and a well done narration. Its probably the most polished and thought through book I have read in quiet sometime.

Loads of action, Bad character communication

Revisado: 06-19-23

I might have been able to enjoy this book more if I would have read it instead of listened. Over all the harsh narration mixed with complete lack of competence in writing verbal communication between characters made this a book that I couldn't enjoy. In general this book reminds me of 'The Primal Hunter' by Zogarth. But due to the mix of story and narration I found this book harder to enjoy.

As a note I am not a Travis Baldree fan in most cases. I often avoid books he has narrated due to his fan base over inflating the average review rating on audible.

Top 3 in series

Revisado: 04-24-23

if you liked the other books you'll like this one as well. I still like this series a lot even after the break between books.

Good but different

Revisado: 02-12-23

Good overall, but as others mentioned heavy on the calculations. Unlike some books in this genre it's not using stat sheets as filler.

Both the test and the audio version have a problem with distinguishing between internal dialog and external imo. That's probably my biggest critique overall.

While it's not Defiance of the fall, or He Who Fights Monsters, it's not trying to be either. Worth a read imo.
