I’ve listened to a lot of LitRPG books, and generally love the genre. This is a game changer. Usually, the plot involves players in a game. In this novel, it’s a world with some character development game mechanics. This was a nice change and added to the story. Speaking of the story…this book has it all. Character development, adventure, intrigue, friendship, battle, and all the rest! I was engaged throughout, and the pace never let up. Narrated by the great Jeff Hays of Soundbooth Theater..need I say more! His narration brings you into the story and all voices are unique. His delivery is just at the right pace, and the way he conveyed emotion kept me on the edge of my chair. A great listen! Highly recommended.
