Another episode in a great series.

part 3 gives a decent plot twist into the storyline and there is a great story unfolding once again.
The characters are developing greatly and there's a good amount of action in different storybranches.

Narration by jack voraces is well-done and keeps a good tempo.

Series goes from strength to strength

It would have been very easy for the author to have continued progressing the story and characters along similar lines to the first two books, but the main character immediately sees drastic changes to his in-game progression that results in a distinctly different tone for much of this instalment of the series. This is a move that could have easily failed or merely alienated some of the readers, but it works really well and makes the series that much stronger, while also teaching the reader a bit more about the overall world of the game too.

The narrator again gives another strong performance, helping to make the overall book more enjoyable and ensuring that all the relevant characters are suitably distinctive to help the listener's overall enjoyment of the story.

Overall, another quality addition to this series, I wouldn't recommend jumping into the series with this book though, there's no benefit in missing out on the first two that are also very enjoyable listens.

Waiting on the next one

I wasn't sure if I would like the twist at the start of the book but I was more than pleasantly surprised. The story keeps expanding without becoming old and I'm very much looking forward to the next book to find out how the characters will develop further.

Can not wait for installment 4

I never knew this style of book existed. It is a cross between adventure/fantasy & listening to someone play a game. Who would know this would work, I didn't , but this series of stories changed my mind. I listened quite contently while in bed using the timer on the app and found myself adding more to the timer each night.

I can't wait for the next one!

The Good:
I love the storyline, the characters and the setting in mock MMORPG Imperium Romanum. The protagonist is likeable and unlike many LitRPG heroes, he is not a complete fool. The story is engaging, and I did listen to the whole 15 hours book in one go.

The Bad:
Not much, except for the horribly wasted opportunity to name one of the quests "Saving Private Raytak". And combat losses which regularly exceed 50% are considered normal, without any penalties to the morale (I get that this is just game mechanics, but an annoying one).

And the Ugly:
The author needs a thesaurus. Badly. While the non-combat part of the story is generally well-written, as soon as any action begins, he forgets that synonyms exist, and the battle scenes seem somewhat clunky.

Full of surprises, great narration!

Wow, I really love how the story develops. Won't give any spoilers but it definitely is full of surprises. The narrator Jack Voraces kept up his amazing work. Even better than book one and two! 5 stars from me :)
