I loved the first three books which introduced me to the LIT RPG genre. I don’t know what the author and/or audio producers were thinking by adding music and sound effects to this story. I cannot recall one review of the original trilogy which lamented the lack of music and sound effects. They are unnecessary, and ruined what could have been a worthy successor to the original trilogy. I am really disappointed with the the new direction this series has taken. I returning this book immediately.
