Resumen del Editor

Monsters don’t exist. At least, they didn’t until we created them.

Maiyamon was once merely a game. Now, it's a global reality. After dozens of hit monster collecting games raked in billions of credits per year, it was inevitable someone would create real ones. Unfortunately, it wasn’t so obvious how many people would dump them in the wild....

Sam Wentworth grew up with nothing. She’s worked tirelessly just to get through college and earn her first monster. Bankrupt and exhausted, she sets her sights on fame and fortune in Maiyamon arenas. Instead, Sam’s caught between battling the rampaging elemental creatures abandoned by their owners and standing up to a toxic group intent on ending the game forever.

With her flame fox cub, Finn, at her side, Sam sets out to build a team capable of protecting both innocent people’s lives and the creatures she loves. That’s the easy part.

Monsters may fill the world, but it’s humans she fears the most....

A great mostly YA monster trainer adventure

Sam and her best friend have just completed training as a Prime and head out to get their license. This is where everything goes sideways.

The story is very well done and makes a lot of sense about how such a world could come about. The odd thing is that this entire book is completely YA friendly except for a fade to black sex scene and a few comments about it. I’m really looking forward to the next book!

Excellent monster catching/battling story.

Loved the origin of the monsters and the story threw for a loop more than once. Can't wait for the next one.

really brings back the pokemon feels

i liked this book. really brings me back to my pokemon playing days. worth the credit.

a good story

when I first started this I almost didn't finish, because the narrator's accent was so strong I had a hard time understanding, but a bit in I found the accent gave the characters personality. the story felt a bit rushed at times and I felt could have been fleshed out more, but it kept me wanting more with the ensemble of eclectic characters and a lovely world they live in, I will definitely get the second book which is my biggest endorsement, that I like the adventure so much that I want more and need more.

Loved it

Team Rocket is really taking it too far this time. They need to chill.

Interesting

The world was much darker than I anticipated. It was a good surprise tough. The narration was also good quality.

Fun & Games

This was the first book from this author and first Gamelit Adventure that I've ever had the pleasure to hear. I enjoyed this story immensely and recommend it for those who like action filled books or like role playing games. Kay MacLeod's prose flows and her characters are well developed. Savy Des-Etages does a great job with the narration providing voices that seem to fit the characters that were created by the author. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

ok

This was overall an enjoyable title, My rating reflects my distaste for an overused narrative device. The ending was abrupt.

hardcore Pokemon

if you love Pokemon and would like it to be a bit more mature. this is the legally distinct book for you

So AMAZING!

I did not expect to enjoy this book so much; I listened to it in one sitting.

I was drawn in by Sam and her love for her team (gems). The relationships she formed along the way and the lessons learned were written beautifully.

I'm rooting for her and Eli, and even Lucy with her show prime self. Excited to continue listening to this series!

My only issue is the use of profanity throughout. It didn't add to the story and could've been written without it.

I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review but it is definitely worth a purchase!
