Starts at the end before it begins.
I actually started this book thinking it was in another series, but it was just as engaging. It was a bit confusing when it started at the end of a journey, but then it reset. I like the appeal of actions having consequences. I am disappointed in the last battle. That was a cowardly way to leave a fight, and I hope he destroys them at their next meeting. I'm curious how this fancy ability will lead the journey now.

I’m giving this 4 stars because I was thoroughly entertained. This is a LitRPG story (I had to look up what that meant). I don’t think I’m the demographic they are targeting. If you’re into gaming and leveling up you will love following Nick on his quest to survive people and monsters trying to kill him. He can wield a sword and is a death machine himself. The final chapters he meets his nemesis Lidia. She’s a bad person. They are in an epic battle and then… the cliff hanger. We have to wait for Vol 2. I’m 61 years and shouldn’t get into LitRPG but I did. I think the narrator Pete Cross made it enjoyable for me. I highly recommend if you love Sci-Fi and Fantasy. This is my first Kaz Hunter book and I need vol 2 to know what happens.
I want to thank Net Galley and Dreamscape Media for the audiobook in exchange for my honest review

This is a fun, action packed adventure. If you have ever played any sort of MMO or if you have ever read Ready Player One I think you’ll love this book. My one complaint that isn’t really a complaint is that it does explain a lot of the mechanics of what “in-game” items are and how they work. I understand the need to explain for those who aren’t used to this type of media but for someone versed in gaming it can get a bit tedious. Overall, a good book that will keep you entertained!!
