Immersion

The Chronicles of the Manaar

De: L.R. Maley

Narrado por: David Pickering

It is difficult to say when the Immersion happened. There is little doubt as to where it began. It was in a village. Despite an impoverished life, the village held a community. A community that was rich in the love of life and each other. People that worked together to ensure that all were fed and taken care of. Some would say these conditions are the essence of an Immersion.

Mik and his friends are at that age when the future looks infinite in all its possibilities. Life in the Village has never seemed so good. This year they attend the county fair as adults. But there is a world outside that cares little for the country people and their yearly celebrations of life together. A world where monsters prey on innocents. A world of evil.

In the aftermath of the destruction of their world, 10 refugees struggle to stay alive. But the Immersion has happened, and they have a greater role yet to play.

Epic storytelling at its finest

It is not very often that a story comes along that is this good. Immersion is about a group of friends that find themselves in a struggle between evil and... themselves. It turns out that they must become the good that opposes the evil. The friendship and love that they share is at the core of the power that finds them. This great tale has been paired with the perfect talent to bring it to life in the narrator, David Pickering. Pickerings use of accents to distinguish characters, and his added drama, make this a great story to listen to repeatedly. I find myself eagerly awaiting the next installment.

Amazing story and narrator

Immersed in the enchanting world crafted by L. R. Maley, I found myself captivated from the very start. The intricate characters, particularly the children and the fair, were expertly portrayed, each with a distinct essence. The narrative took an exhilarating turn post-fair, unleashing a cascade of events that held my attention effortlessly. The journey with these empowered teenagers, drawn into battles against witches and wars, blurred the line between youth and adulthood. Maley's adept world-building pulling me into the story from the fair to the climactic end of the war. The possibility of a continuation adds an exciting layer to the narrative. Tailored for young adults, the author skillfully maintains a vibe befitting the age group. The narration, a true highlight, delivered a flawless performance, dispelling any concerns of monotony or sluggish pacing. L. R. Marley's narrator truly elevated the experience, making it nothing short of extraordinary.

Wonderful Story, Excellent Narrator

Great Character development lead the story into a rollercoaster ride of action. I really got behind the characters as they faced their troubles. The narrator with genuine accents and an epic voice really added to my enjoyment.

Enjoyable

I believe an audience will immerse themselves in this story. The characters are young, but they grow to become the stuff of legends. Well worth the credit. 😁😁📖📖

The next Lord of the Rings!

It’s one of those books you don’t want the chapter to end and as you start getting close to the end you don’t want the book to end. It’s storyline and character building are just amazing! I can’t wait for the next book. 5/5
