About this listen
Almost 3,000 years after an extinction-level event on Earth, mankind seeks to regain its former glory, in a new world where magic and technology collide.
Laney Herder, a commoner in the realm of Wexbury, finds herself thrust into the world of nobles and knights. At the side of her Lady Celeste, Knight of the Realm, she goes on an epic journey from being a simple chicken farmer to one of the greatest heroes of the realm, while helping the Lands of Sparo avoid a second Great Mage War.
Can kindness and innocence defeat the oncoming storm?

For this author it is the lack of editing. I know he is a self published author, but I wish he had even just a good Beta reader to help reduce the editing mistakes. Even the most accomplished authors need editors, because it gives a fresh set of eyes to catch repetition of phrases, or typing mistakes. The overused word here is, 'then'. Plus, some of the internal monologues aren't always needed.
Right, that's out of the way.
The positives. And they're enough for me to overcome my natural instinct to kill off reading a story that hasn't been edited well. In fact, I think this author is the only one who can happily take my money with that in mind. Why, you might rightly ask?
Well, simply because the world is well crafted, the characters are engaging, and we get a story that is unique.
Laney is finding her way in the world of Knights, all to avoid the stockade. And the real adventure all starts at Gus Davis Ford. I enjoyed the way Margaret had her own little bit of intrigue right at the start of Laney's new life, and Jace is not an afterthought.
There are plenty of moments of humour, and the action sequences are believable within this fantasy land.
I only have one complaint, and that is that only the first three stories in the series are in the Audible catalogue. I would love it if the other three (so far) were added. Especially as I listen to audio books more than reading hard copies these days for disability reasons. Okay, so it's not a complaint in the real sense of the word... but hey, a fan of this author, and especially this series of books, can hope. 🙏
Hollie Jackson is also a good enough narrator to pull off the different characters and their nuances.
I was surprised at how hooked I became.
