I initially was put off by a sour review, but after listening to this story it’s really not half bad. Admittedly the setup is weak with some points where the author essentially requests, “Ok, just go with me here”, so they can get to their story, but the premise is interesting. It’s like if Ready Player One was mostly about Magic the Gathering and new fighters were collected like Pokémon. The level of production was surprising. The entire story is told more like an old radio show than a audio book. There is background music, sound effects and other bits and bobs to help immerse you in the story. It’s not perfect and has shortcomings, but is fun and entertaining.
