The narrator of this book Jeff Hays called this his first real passion project since becoming a narrator and I can see why as the cast really brings it to life. It was so easy to visualize everything happening that it was more like watching a show on television. The story is both standard litrpg and unique at the same time. Overall it’s a realistic interpretation of what an augmented reality game inspired by Pokemon-esque or ZanZarah: The Hidden Portal could become in the future. The technology used in the book is more believable than some used in many others of the same genre. The characters are semi-relatable and It feels like the roles were designed with these specific narrators in mind. I liked Chase the main character and his two hunters but I found myself both liking and hating Iris as a character probably because of how realistic she is written. The world building is minor but not really necessary since it mostly takes place in the real world for now. As i listened to the audiobook but haven’t read it I can say I don’t think I would have enjoyed reading it as much as it is heavily influenced and written with music in mind which the audiobook handled fantastically. I highly recommend this book especially in audio format unless you’re one of those people who only enjoy a story read to you in the format of a newspaper without effects, music, or multiple voice actors. I can definitely see myself listening to this again.
