Deck of Destiny, Book 1

De: Dante King

Narrado por: Rozelyn Rader, Lewis Alexander

It was a regular day when I found my first card. Now, my days are anything but.

Beautiful women, powerful cards, and guilds who will do anything to kill me and acquire my deck. It's a life beyond my wildest dreams—if I can just survive long enough to enjoy it.

Wonderful start slightly pulled down by graphic details.

Firstly, well done on the performance. Whenever there are more than one reader, especially when you have a male and female voices, a decent performance is expected and that is delivered here.
Second, the overall "magic system" is intriguing and an interesting enough to keep the attention. I found it to be entertaining and like to see more development of it in further books.
Lastly, why do I rate the story 4 stars instead of a full 5. We'll it's the graphic sex scenes. When you have a story and world that is as interesting as this you do not need to bring it down with blow by blow descriptions of sexual acts. Now the reason I gave this book an overall score of 5 is because there was only a few scenes and they only took up the last parts of their respective chapter.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and will be getting the second one in the series.

good story

as usual I love the stories that Dante King puts out. but I do have one issue with this book in particular. at the beginning he calls his truck a dodge charger numerous times and it gets confusing. is it a truck or a sports car that mat drives?

Interesting and Not Expected

I wasn’t sure what I expected, though with the female on the cover I had expected an FMC. Nope. MMC. But it was interesting in that it was very heavy progression with a lot of “WTF if happening, I don’t know but Run!” And some figure it out in the way. Though the setup for a potential Harem was a nice twist. Overall, the narrator made it worth the read and I think I would have lost interest if it wasn’t for that. They made it engaging.

It's decent

I'm a fan of Dante's books, and while this new series had a decent start, I'm not sure if I'll stick with it. The TCG aspect of the story was what put me off the most, I thought I would enjoy it a lot more than I actually did.

Another hidden gem!

I absolutely love this series so far! im a new fan of Dante King (discovered with Monster House) and this is a great LITRPGlite, so far there hasn't been a major "system" like other litrpgs but is very original and easy to understand. already bought book 2!

I promise it's not just sex.

For this genre it's pretty tame on that front. There is a couple good chunks of action in this soup. Performances by Lewis and Rozalyn are top notch. I hope the surgery does some more work fleshing out this underground world of card murder.

Fun

The characters and story are engaging I appreciate the harem aspect and the genuine love between them all

sex much?

only made it about 2 hours in. Story was meh but I was still at the beginning...until the unexpected graphic narration of oral sex. Would have been nice to get a heads up before purchasing what I was expecting to be a different style litrpg.

the voice actors returning back

hearing the actors voices again were like old friends. can't wait to hear the next book.

A very fun listen.

The story is a great listen. I a very different kind of a of story.
