About this listen

Walt and Oz need to level up to survive and every moment is going to hurt.

Walter LePointe and Oswald Blackwell just woke up inside of the online role playing game Realms of Th'loria. With no memory of how they arrived, Walt and Oz soon learn the hard way that living in an epic fantasy world isn't all it's cracked up to be. As level one characters with no skills or experience, nothing can prepare them for their new lives as they prepare to enter the realm.

LitRPG novels make up a large percentage of my listening these days and have become a favourite genre for pure escapism. Shards of Reality ticks all the boxes and has enough intrigue to hook you in to the series exceptionally well. The near future setting utilising VR reminded me greatly of the Otherland series by Tad Williams and I absolutely love it.

Todd Menesses is an excellent narrator and his character voices makes sure you know who is talking at any given time. The audio quality is crisp and clear with no noticeable dips or gaps in the production.

Overall this is a solid LitRPG novel and a great opening book in what looks to be an engaging series.

First things first, I'm a fan of the genre, and this follows the generic conventions quite closely: Gamers get stuck in an MMO and level up by fighting and puzzle solving etc. All good so far. As another reviewer the MC is a bit of a whiny millennial who won't listen to advice. Yeah, I know it's a genre trope, however, he and his friends grow on you.
The pop culture SF / Fantasy references work and I did want to discover what they get up to next. The narrator differentiated his characters nicely and the voices added to the narrative flow. Give it a go 👍
