Into the Abyss

Demons of Astlan Series, Book 1

De: J. L. Langland

Narrado por: Stephen Bel Davies

It turns out, the "Demon Weed" actually is a gateway drug! Who knew? Tom Perkinje certainly didn't. He had never smoked anything in his life, but as the new kid in town trying to make friends, he foolishly let his new buddy Reggie talk him into trying a joint that he'd picked up from a new dealer.

Before he knew it, Tom was having a seriously bad trip; a total out-of-body experience where the world had dissolved around him. The next thing Tom knew, there were these deranged myopic wizards from some place called Astlan calling on him in some sort of pig Latin mumbo jumbo. They had somehow mistaken Tom for a demon!

He tried to flee, but the wizards were relentless and were determined to conjure him into their world and bind him as their demon slave for all of eternity. And these crazy wizards? Turns out, they were going to war and planned to use their new demon slave as a secret weapon to obliterate the enemy!

Great Story, Great Performance

This story was wonderful, a rich and detailed fantasy world, filled with humour, action, adventure, and of course the question of humanity. A world where all of fantasy seems too exist, and be set against the main character.
I heartily recommend this story to anyone who likes fantasy manga/anime, litRPG(even though it is not part of that genre, you should still enjoy this), and of course styling aliken to terry Pratchett.
The Narrator brings this story to life and adds to its enjoyment.
I listened to this great story in a marathon over a course of 3 days, taking breaks only for life intrusions. I can not wait to listen too the next book.

Pretty enjoyable

Just finished this.

All in all, pretty enjoyable book.

It would have been 100% better if it had skipped all the stupid and annoying chanting of magic spells and summonings. That was really annoying.

There were quite a few parts that really annoyed me which mostly centered around people not sharing information with one another but that is a common annoyance in many books.

For this book to be so long, the ending was pretty unsatisfying. It wasn't bad but but a few hours of filler could have been replaced to have an actual conclusion to this book rather than the 'To be continued....' feeling it leaves you with.

Loved it!!!

Great book!! Love the Stephen Davies and his voice acting and the story was well written.

100%

It took a little but I fell in love with this book. It sounds kiddish( in the beginning ) but it's actually really good. it has really deep story line. lots of big reveals.

good first book in this series

I really enjoyed this first book in the series, thanks for hours of entertainment. obe

amazing

This was an amazingly funny and entertaining listen. the naration was great and the flow of the story was pretty good, though there was a bit much exposition.

interesting

Entertaining. some parts seem a bit scattered but overall I enjoyed listening. I do plan on finishing the whole series.

Awesome book!! Awesome recording

I love this book! I loved reading it and loved listening to it even more! Can't wait until they have the rest on Audible!

Entertaining and different

Any additional comments?

This book was solid entertainment, there is world building, multiple characters and a many interesting plot developments.There are some parts of the book that is chock full of exposition explaining demon hierarchies and how the world magic works (which I actually like) and etc. While the protagonist is 16 this book seems more skewed towards older readers and I hope the next books will go in this direction.

Absolutely at top 5 for me

I love the world, the characters, the intricate and complex story line, the narration. You have to actually pay attention to the story and it's many twist or you won't enjoy it as much.
