Throne Hunters

Throne Hunters, Book 1

De: Phil Tucker

Narrado por: John Pirhalla

Harald Darrowdelve has squandered every gift life gave him—until he entered the dungeon beneath Flutic and received a demon's dark blessing.

Weak, privileged, and directionless no more, Harald now commands powers forged in darkness. But each new ability and hard-won level drags him deeper into the ruthless politics of noble houses, shadowy rivals, and the celestial war burning beneath the city's streets.

With every victory, the dungeon reshapes him—but at what cost? As Harald ascends the path of power, will he remain master of his fate or become a servant to the darkness within?

Excellent pacing, narrative, and world building

I don’t usually write reviews, but Audible had sent me an email suggesting this book to pre-order and when it came through, I started it up and couldn’t put it down.

Really enjoyed the story and performance. Looking forward to seeing how the characters continue to evolve from here.

For Fans of Cradle & Coherent LitRPG

If you’ve already burned through Cradle, Immortal Great Souls, and the rare few progression series that are actually well-written from start to finish, Throne Hunters should be next on your list. Phil Tucker continues to deliver top-tier work for fans of the genre, with a story that’s gripping, smart, and worth every minute.

John Pirhalla’s narration is excellent. He keeps Harald and the rest of the characters distinct and brings the entire story to life with real energy and nuance. It’s the kind of performance that elevates an already great book. Highly recommended.

great start to this series.

Phil tucker outdid himself once again. makes me want to do everything I can to achieve my goals.

Definition of a slow burn with a heart of gold...

I'm about halfway through the book and I'm enjoying it as a casual listen. But the author is very obsessed with attention to detail. Much like Stephen King in his early writing. So if reading a book that takes a very long time to develop into the actual plot and storyline is not for you, then I wouldn't recommend spending the credit.

But other than that, I think it's an excellent book.We have a character who is incredibly underpowered.I would even say he's probably the most pathetic excuse for a main character that I have ever read, or at least that I can remember. he's shallow, spoiled weak and it his core before he remembers who he is.He truly is a pathetic piece of dog poop. this is not a story of a hero.This is not a story of rags to riches.This is basically a debutante that learns to be a decent person that just so happens to also be an adventurer.

It's really more about a coming of age story of a boy into a man that needs to redeem himself.And the eyes of the people that he cares for and that care for him, that's probably the best way to describe the storyline. it's very low on action.It's very low on plot progression.This is a slow burn and the most extreme manner.

I will be getting the second book to see.If the writer progresses or learns how to progress a storyline, a little bit better, but if it stays this way.And he doesn't learn to progress the characters properly.I will not be getting the third book. it's just not my playstyle or the way I like a book to flow.

Another banger series from Mr. Tucker

Great characters, intriguing world/dungeon combo and another excellent magic system. John Pirhalla's narration is fantastic. Yet again, I'm left fiending for more. Can't wait for book 2!
