There were a few parts that felt like forced plot, and some obvious verbal plot set-ups (i.e., “What could possibly go wrong?” moments), but the overall story was surprisingly well done… definitely entertaining.
One small issue was that it was difficult for my brain to remain focused during some of the equipment/buff/etc. descriptions, or level-up options, considering that they tended to go on and on, but that’s the kind of thing one expects from this genre I think. So, again… a really decent listen, altogether.
Excited to hear book 2.
