First Sorcerer

Singularity Online, Book 1

De: Kyle Johnson

Narrado por: Basil Sands

The Singularity - the merger of man and machine into a greater whole - is finally within humanity's grasp. When programmer Jeff Lawing gets the opportunity to join Singularity Online, the world's first realistic VRMMO and the testing ground that will lead to the Singularity, he leaps to accept.

Singularity is much more realistic and darker than Jeff had imagined, though. As a Sorcerer, his arcane magic is limited only by his imagination, allowing him to craft powerful spells forged from his desires. As the only Sorcerer in the game, he'll need to carve his own path, with only an ancient specter as his guide.

Will his new powers be enough to see him through the deadliest training quest he's ever encountered or to protect him in a fallen realm filled with undead? Does the have the courage and passion he needs to seize the mantle of First Sorcerer?

bad narrator

the narrator has absolutely no inflection or excitibility In his tone made a good story really hard to listen to.

ok book

ok book. . . decent narrator. . . might get the next book in the series.

interesting

A very interesting story, though it started off slow. The narrator did a good job, too.

Great

The book was wonderful and I really enjoyed the mystery it’s sitting up for the next book?

very hard to start ,seems monotone

reviews were bashing narrator, whom lacks inflection especially beginning. the story progresses well and I thoroughly enjoyed it. after actually getting into it the narration either improved or bothered me less. its not terrible but still hard to start. however I'm glad I continued with it and recommend this book still.

Excellent

A good story, a great example for characters development. An intriguing premise for the story. Voice acting was about as good as could be expected.

incredible

Simply amazing second time listening. I picked up on something I didn't get the first time listening.

Meh…

Story wasn’t bad but not nearly good enough to make me want to listen to the second part.

Starts slow, builds well, Narrator is hit and miss.

The author’s introduction to the world reminded me of a snake oil salesman but maybe that was the general idea. The Narrator did a fantastic job bringing the various characters to life and has a good range of voices but I almost stopped listening several times based on his “narration” voice. It’s monotonous and grating. Like he’s just reading from a script and would rather be anywhere else doing anything else. His character voices however, were fantastic. I really liked his range, inflections, tones, and the way he made them all feel different.

Dull

Buried under mountains of exposition and clunky prose. First Sorcerer is a boring read that is paced like a snail and drags the story out far too long. The dull narrator doesn't help matters either.
