Really fun read. I’ve read the first three book in the series so far. By itself I might have only given this one 4 stars, but taken as a whole I’m going with 5. Jeff Hays does an amazing job with the narration. The book was much lighter on stats and game mechanics than many LitRPGs I’ve read, which I liked. The characters began with just pointy sticks, literally, but the power level ramped up fast, in a good way if you like over the top action and characters cleverly gaming the system. The characters were interesting, though the villains tended to be a bit over the top vile. Normally I’m not a big fan of mixing Sci-Fi in with Fantasy, but here it worked well and even enhanced the story.
