Resumen del Editor

The Sullivans are a normal family. But after being transported to the magical world of Arenia, normal isn’t a luxury they can afford.

It’s just another Thanksgiving for the Sullivans - until the walls disappear and they discover they are being transported to Arenia, a place where game rules are real and their Earthen ability to reincarnate grants them unlimited potential.

Or it would, if the celestial administrator in charge of their case hadn’t mixed up longitude and latitude and sent the wrong family. Oops. Too bad he already faked their deaths.

Now scattered throughout the Arenian wilderness and armed only with their Tomes - books containing all of their skills, accomplishments, and quests - the family members must discover a strength they didn’t know they had if they are going to survive long enough to find each other.

Note: Contains some profanity and a turkey, but not a profane turkey. Personally, I’m fine with profane turkeys, but if that’s where you draw the line, you should know that there are none in this book. In fact, I’m going to promise you no profane turkeys for the entire series. That’s my gift to you.

Really enjoyed it

Took a chance on this book and don’t regret it. Well written and engaging, ready for the next installment!

It's a fun twist on the Classic AlightRPG.

It's Amazing I think it just need to show more of an the characters.

Swiss Family Robinson LitRPG

great story, looking forward to book two. I very much enjoyed the multiple perspectives from the family characters. Each character, from The wizened world war II vet grandfather, to the under appreciated son felt realistic in a way that's uncommon for this genre. looking forward to book two.

Great book

This was a great book. I really hope that the author writes the 2nd one that is able to be put on audible. Jeff Hayes you were amazing on the voices.

Loved it

I really enjoyed this. Look forward to hearing more. Can’t wait. There really isn’t anything offensive in here. Just a pretty solid rpg.

for those who get to the end of this book

if you're with me how badly do you want to slap Carl, the things this family had to go through to get to the city you just want to either Ascend again to slap Carl or have Carl sent down so you can slap it repeatedly maybe you can get a class that called slap Carl.

when's book 2!!!

love this book the characters progression is amazing it hilarious as well I need a second one!!!!!!!

A fun litrpg experience

Arrival is a pretty good book with an outstanding performance by Jeff Hays. It has a ton of funny and witty jokes that I enjoyed and continued listening to the book giggle late into the night. The summary of the book is a bit misleading, though it does explain exactly what happens in the book. We have a bunch of characters and follow their journey through the book from different perspectives and experiences with generation-specific jokes of course.

Does the book take itself seriously with all the jokes and references in it? On a scale of 0 (batman) to 10 (the prince has no pants), it's around a 3. An absurd situation is followed by a life or death experience with a smooth enough transition that you have enough time to switch the gears. I had a few breathtaking and clutch moments in between the jokes, so it's somewhere close to Dungeon Crawler Carl in that sense. A minor critique is that the pacing of events for some of the characters is too fast, haptic, or inconsistent, and a few times I found myself waiting for the POV to change to a different family member.

In the end I really enjoy the book overall and looking forward to the next one in series!

A good start to a new LITRPG

Family abducted and thrown into another world to fight. Same ol same ol but this one is actually pretty well done and has potential for a good story in the follow up books.

Fantastic

LitRPG has been my favorite genre for years. After a while, the genre tends to get a little formulaic. Just when I start to give up, something fresh comes along. Arrival is the breath of fresh air I needed! Parsons does a stellar job with the character development and foreshadowing future roles. The mix of action, drama, and humor kept me locked in. Book 2 cannot get here soon enough!
