Exalted Mage

Void Empire, Book 1

De: Kingsley Khan

Narrado por: Christopher Harbour, Mandy McCullough

Eric Grayson was just a welder by day and fantasy junky by night. His free days were spent camping in the woods and reading. When he falls through a crack in the foundation of reality his life is going to get a lot more interesting. Making his way through the sea of chaos, he finds himself, with a little help from a Goddess, in a new universe, on a new planet. Eric must discover the answer to a question. How to change the mind of an empire?

The exalted mage lords of the Empire have ruled for over two thousand years. Keeping the Empire safe from tribes of filthy savage beast kin and the void monsters that breach reality and are hungry to consume. Forduna is a world on the edge of the great universal tree, a bastion against the ever-encroaching void and the tendrils of the abyss that ever reach for a foothold in any reality. The dungeon Legion holds fast to the accords set forth in the days of old while it still has the strength to do so. The touch of the Gods and Goddesses is faint and growing weaker.

This is an Isekai LitRpg fantasy.

Awesome

Yeah this is definitely dark fantasy gamelit. but it's really good, the story it's really spicy with a lot politics introduced a bit later on. honestly can't wait for the next one but it's been close to a year since book 1 came out so hopefully book 3 won't take long to release

It was a great story

But I’m pretty sure there are missing audio and conversations in the story. It introduced characters into the conversation but there was no audio to go with it

rage bate but a good story

This story has made me more Angry thin any other story I have ever read. And I would have stopped reading it if it wasn't actually a good story.

actually quite good

author did a good balance of a society where there's normalized debauchery, casual racism, and the overbearing government is normal. it isn't filled with cruelty, but it is there, some overwhelmingly cruel while others a more casual or backhanded. the progressives are progressive for that society.

The balancing of it was impressive.

the MC also made pretty good decisions, He was well portrayed. The balance of going along with society as to not being seen as a problem to be fixed, while having modern morals and wanting to change things but understanding his own lack of power and that violence would probably hurt more people he wants to protect than enemies. He treated those under him fairly while balancing what society expects, what those under him expect, and how he wants them to be treated.

I was shocked by how little I had to extend my suspension of disbelief, and how little I felt decisions were made simply so the story could continue or progress in a way the author wanted.

I hope there will be a book 2.

One of the best books I have listened to in this genre.

To be honest, I was taking a chance on this book. I had listened to a couple other books by this author and thought they were good not great just good. Therefore, I was very happily surprised at the quality and content of this book. It is a great story with a great main character and wonderful supporting characters. Each character has their own backstory which provides a rich canvas in which the author paints a wonderful story with lots of twists and turns and interesting details.
In regards to the details, that is one of the things that I was most surprised and happy about. This book really presents a wonderful story that is woven very well and has depths like a beautiful piece of art.
I highly recommend it.

A quick note about the narrators. They were fantastic and really brought all the voices to life. Each voice was distinct and immediately identifiable, which is really what you want and a great audiobook. A big thumbs up to those two.
