About this listen
Monsters and mysteries challenge everything four friends think they know about their crumbling magical world as this fantasy-adventure series continues.
There's a crisis in Elyra, and the Adventurers' Guild has dispatched a team of four heroes to address it. With both magic and the system that dictates the nature of everything malfunctioning, the world is in jeopardy. Unfortunately for the world, the heroes aren't doing so well either.
Following a challenging battle, the foursome is regrouping in a reality not unlike their own, where magic, instead of the system, saved the world. Sev, the team's human priest, is still trying to figure out how his history plays into everything that's been happening. The normally brave half-orc Misa is grappling with failure and fear. Lizardkin wizard Vex is haunted by his past as he works to pave a path to the future. And sentient suit of armor Derivan must navigate both the mysteries of days gone by and his new relationship with Vex. At least they're closer to discovering the root of Elyra's troubles—if only they could get back there.
Meanwhile in Elyra, the seeds of resistance are beginning to sprout. Not everyone—even amongst the nobles—is fine with the status quo. But can a rebellion succeed when the kingdom itself is on the verge of falling apart?
The third volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with almost two million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!
©2024 Christopher Seck Choa Hong (P)2024 Podium AudioLots of great payoff in this installment, with mysteries being solved, identities revealed, the main characters powering up, and previously laid down plot threads generally being picked up and woven into a road to the finishing line.
I'm not always super into books that get heavy or existential - Mother of Learning is similarly well written but it just got so heavy in the last book - but something about the solid relationships between the main characters and the author's deft hand means that even when things get bad, it's never depressing or stressful to listen to.
Travis Baldree has perhaps never produced a bad audiobook recording, or at least not recently, but his warm tone and well thought-out character voices really make this book shine, I think.
Really well-crafted

Also, while this won't surprise readers/listeners of the first two books, I'd just like to mention here that the author does a great job of avoiding lengthy status screens, which is a problem LitRPGs very often have. I tend to just see it as the price of liking to this genre, but it's always great when I find a LitRPG that isn't padded out with endless menus.
