About this listen

Death isn't so bad if it means saving the universe.

Samantha was badass even before she learned magic. Fending for herself in the cauldron of a planet torn apart by an alien invasion taught Samantha how to kill. Ruthlessly efficient, her abilities have caught the attention of the Shadow Corps.

A group comprised of deadly warriors who focus on galactic safety, using any means necessary.

A battle-hardened warlord causing you trouble? The Shadow Corps will ruin their day.

Her first mission puts her team up against a space dragon, death reapers, and the ultimate sorcerer.

Samantha had better learn to master her alien magic, or be forced to watch her world, and many others, burn.

A Seppukarian universe series for fans of Destiny and Warhammer 40K.

Note: For fans of LitRPG who like level-ups and skill trees without being in a video game.

I made it to chapter 16 before I had to stop. This might suit a younger audience with the writing being quite plain and non descriptive. Probably minor but I found the use of "Kaboom" to explain almost any explosion grating and the way it was narrated quite painful.

Characters are quite one dimensional and uninteresting so really struggled to engage with the story. I will normally get through 8 - 12hrs a day but after almost three days I had to give up as I couldn't finish it. Not bad, just not for me I think.

What was most disappointing about Justin Sloan’s story?

Trying way too hard, you didn't get to know the characters all that well.

I expected this to be more entertaining as I’d read some other works of the author, but the only other books by Justin Sloan I’d read were co-written.
I guess Michael Anderle was the one who knows how make a bog-standard adventure about a chick who is the baddest ass ever. and there is no actual threat to them at any point, actually fun to read instead of a slog.
In this case, without a co-author to input some fun, it was a chore to get through, and I considered not completing it a few times during the run time. Not because of the subject matter or anything like that, just because I was kind of bored.

A whole load of ‘Meh’
