First off, the narration is really fantastic. Travis Baldree does a fantastic job and has a wide range where no 2 characters sound the same. His performance is what made me rate the book so highly. The book itself was OK. The first couple chapters introduce you to too many characters that do not really matter so it gets kind of hard to know who is important at first and who isn’t. At least 6 characters don’t matter at all for the rest of the book so it just seems odd to even include them. With how the book was structured, it seems like it would have been better to start the story at chapter three where the main character is at the beginning of the tower and then do flashbacks to the other 3 chapters later on once you have a good establishment of the world/main character. The book could also do a lot better at explaining the back story of why people are here and why they must complete the tower – it just seems to only go over it at a basic level and there is a lot of room for improvement here. Finally, this whole book is only on the first floor… and there are over 150 floors to go just to get the guy back to where he was! Does this mean 149 more books are coming? The feel of the book is that it ends too soon where it could easily be twice as long. Overall, the story was OK, not something I would recommend to others as there is so much better LitRPG out there. This book was given to me free in exchange for this review.
