Resumen del Editor

Audiobook five of the best-selling Eden's Gate series!

After the turmoil in the Arena, Gunnar retreats from Highcastle and attempts to maintain a low profile while the heat regarding Reborns subsides.

Avoiding the human cities, he sets out to unexplored lands with guild mates and a potential new recruit. But when his Great Beast goes missing, a simple quest turns into a troubling chain of events that spawns several unanswered questions.

Why is Sora unresponsive? And why are dragons threatening the inhabitants of Eden's Gate?

The king’s health may be postponing Dryden’s plans, but Gunnar’s saboteurs might have disturbed something that could be even more devastating than a Bloodletter invasion.

Can Gunnar mend the thin thread that’s holding the world from falling into chaos, and after more than a month in Eden’s Gate, will he finally cave to the temptations of an elf?

Another good story

Another good story and another good performance. I am interested to see where the story goes next.

hmm, if you like vacillating protagonists

I like the premise, and I enjoy most of the book and story, but the protagonist vacillating back and forth is annoying..also, protagonist was a gamer, and constantly forgets that he has a new spell,
but other than that.. want to see where the story goes

Fantastic!

Another incredible installment. This is probably my favorite one so far, cant wait for the next installment!

I'm mad I didn't start this series later

Now I have to wait for the next books in the series. I binge listened to all five within 3 weeks and I'm hooked bad. Great series, right up my ally. I wanna know what happens next! But at least he didn't end it with a cliff hanger like the last four

Gunner is really REALLY stupid.

I really like this series, but oh my god is Gunner stupid. Like, pants on head kind of stupid.

I don't really understand how, by book 5, he is this naive about basic concepts like a person's motivation, simple statements of phrase and intent, and other regular concepts that would be something easy to understand in the real world. Yet for some reason, he is absolutely clueless in this game setting, and it's utterly baffling. I mean, characters will make simple, common statements, and he will constantly, and repeatedly respond with "What do you mean? What's going on? What is happening?" Sometimes all in the same statement. I repeatedly let out an exasperated growl, and rolled my eyes while listening to this book, he was so obtuse.

Also, the author's idea of "gamer speak" is absolutely cringeworthy. Nobody speaks like that in real life. Why? Because it sounds stupid. And real humans actually understand that when they speak, which is why you never hear anyone actually speaking like that. So I find it utterly baffling that they would speak like that in the "game" world, simply because it's a game. It's still them in a real interaction, and talking like a normal person. But it's with this brain dead "for shizzle my nizzle! that's a whole snack!" crap, that sounds like an old guy who asked "So what are the kids saying these days with their internet slang?" And just did a google search or something for phrases, without actually considering context, or ironic usage.

The series is good, like I said, and the narrator is great, love him. But, I dunno, the writing has some painful components, that, after 5 books, are starting to seriously drag down the enjoyment of the series. Adding a second character (Jeremy) that behaves almost exactly like Aaron, definitely isn't helping either.

If you enjoyed the previous books, this is more of the same, and it's good. But if the parts that annoyed me, also annoy you, brace yourself because they are still there.

Awesome series!

I love these books. I never want them to end! Keep 'em coming Edward Brody :)

Great Story!

I've listened to entire series non-stop! The narrator at times confused characters but was great to follow. Anyone who loves the fantasy style litRPG will love this series!

Slow careful world building, great genre!

thus series gets better with every book. I love that the main character isn't some brilliant genius type like so many main characters. He has great flaws and I love the world building!

Cringe but if you love a good story its just that.

I wont say "Oh its amazing" or anything like that. Frankly every stupid decision made my cringe hard. The thing is I think that's what makes Gunnar feel alive to me. We humans act in our own unique way that defines us and frankly I feel like Gunnar is human. He's not bright but interact with the general populace for a while and you will find hes probably smarter than most. Thing is I don't like Gunnar for what he does right, just the opposite infact. I love Gunnar because he gets stuff wrong and does things in a dumb way but he learns from it. Hes going to fight and frankly hes not the best candidate for whats being put on his shoulders but its best said in a like from Roboute Guilliman for those of you who are total war fans. This is an expert from one of his conversations with the legendary spare marine Dante it comes out to "Don't just recruit from death worlds because you think living and fighting there will make the people stronger. Recruit from the average folk and give them a better life. Help them rise from the poverty and welcome their humanity among the ranks." and that's just it. I feel Gunnar has humanity and compassion. I don't know what Rachel has in store for him, but I feel we will see a hard and saddening time embrace this character and frankly I cant wait to see how he handles it because, hes one of us, hes human.

this book is bomb

loved it immensely. was definitely something something to enjoy like doug benson if you know what I mean
