Review from Puatera Online Box Set – Books 1 through 3 – Desert Runner, Desert Born, and Desert Storm →
This is 3 short books rolled into one normal sized book. The main character is essentially a self aware npc in an MMORPG, supposedly high level, which is a nice alternative perspective to see things from the other side. This takes place on sort of desert/mad max/borderlands type of world with monsters and small settlements..

The Desert trilogy takes place in the artificial world of Puatera Online. Our protagonist, however, is what we would call a Non-Player Character (NPC) – i.e, not a flesh & blood human that logged into the game. She has her own personality though, and more characteristics than the average NPC. To summarize the story, there’s..

This is actually an omnibus of the first 3 books in this series (of which there are currently 4 – though I believe these are the only 3 currently that follow this character). This wasn’t a very long audiobook, especially for an omnibus, as these books individually aren’t very long. So it’s about 9 hours..

Well first off, the writing was boring and everything just overly decompressed. Which considering how short the book is means well its a bad tiding. Every action was overly detailed, and the conversations were just so stilted and boring the details have already fled my brain. At one point that made me sigh in exasperation..

This was the first LitRPG book I listened to. For anyone unfamiliar with the acronym, it stands for Literary Role Playing Game. I was glad my husband plays RPGs and that I had I watched the excellent Felicia Day series “The Guild” because otherwise, I might have been a bit lost. This was a 3..

Well, in my opinion it wasn’t really much of a litrpg. There was the vr game and all, the stats were rarely talked about, no level ups, no skill progresion or spells. Puatera is supposed to be a magic based game, but we see more tech than magic, and the magic we do see isn’t..

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this series! It was well written with all kinds of twists and turns. You can’t help but love the main character. From the beginning this series pulled me in and didn’t let go until the last word! The narration was wonderfully done as well. Andrea Parsneau did an awesome job..
This is the first work I’ve read from this author, and while at first I was taken aback by the NPC perspective, I quickly sank into the amazing depth given to the main character. She may only be an NPC, but her struggle is compelling, her world is rich, and her feelings are palpable. The..

I highly recommend this story. The plot gets a little bit crazy at certain points but overall I had a good time listening. Whatever missing audio issues there were appear to have been fixed by the time I listened.
