I hesitated to use a credit for this because of the reviews complaining about all the training, but I’m glad I gave the book a chance. Arthur’s development as a mage requires time, and it’s important for the story that he & others are given that time. This book isn’t “filler”, it’s a vital piece..

I love this. Complex and intricate story telling that in no way looses sight of the emotional impact of the decisions being made. The early is so well built and the characters are an intimate part of that construction. The narration is just brilliant.I can’t wait to read the final installment.
WHAT IS IT WITH LITRPG AUTHORS ADDING THESE STUPID SIDE STORIES IN BOOKS 3+ AFTER IVE COMMITED. Screw your side stories. I didn’t start listening for them, and I sure as hell don’t want you adding them after I’ve already gotten involved in the story. This needs to stop.

So far I’m super impressed! Excellent author. I hope the rest of the series remains as action packed and exciting. Awesome twists that keep you guessing. I see this becoming an epic tv series or anime.
This certainly isn’t the worst book I’ve listened to, but not much happens. I keep thinking the groundwork is laid and now something interesting will happen. okay *now* something interesting will happen. Okay maybe now? nope. Just boring characters going about their lives. And a lot of flashbacks. A LOT of flash backs. meet new..
This is the start, and I can promise you will enjoy it, names a bit hard to remember but the voice actor helps a lot by being so good at making each character unique. And you will be listening to this book again and again. Enjoy the read!
It felt a bit too much like a copycat character of Harry Dresden. Lazarus is a young guy with strong powers but mostly untrained. He meets tough woman cop who distrusts but helps him. Author tries to use sarcasm but not very well done. The narrator’s voice sounds too old and thin for a young..

I do love myself a good old training ark. I don’t really mind any filler the author adds seeing as how it is character building. Very enjoyable!
The writer is exacting in his description of suffering and of critical mistakes which take you to the edge asking if survival is possible. The mistakes of a east coast city guy doing physical work the wrong way almost did me in with frustration.

You will be disappointed with the ending and not because you got half a book, although that might be part of it.
