This was a fun story with memorable, likeable characters (and some a little cliché). I could take or leave the haughty elves, but I loved the other characters! The storyline is original and fun, with a good twist at the end that provided a nice lead into the next in the series without a cliffhanger. I enjoyed the nods to other litrpg authors throughout the book, and as usual Soundbooth Theater brought the whole thing together to make it a joy to listen to!
