Vagrant Sword

Legends of Ascension, Book 1

De: Darren Hultberg Jr

Narrado por: Christian J. Gilliland

In the savage dominions of Ashadar, there exists a structure unlike any other, a tower that reaches to the very heavens themselves. Built by the greater god Helion, each floor is like a vast and ever changing realm equipped with its own challenges, its own dangers, and its own rewards for those willing to risk it all. And for any strong enough to reach the tower’s peak comes the right to fight for the ultimate prize...

Valin Frost was a common thief from Earth with little desire to risk his life in the tower. However, a twist of fate plunged him through its large, onyx doors. Now, Valin must join the ranks of the mana wielders, master his abilities, and learn how to fight if he plans on surviving the trials of Helion’s tower...and perhaps, one day carving his name into the book of legends.

This is a tower ascension novel with litrpg and cultivation elements.

I really injoyed this.

it's a short book however it is Non-Stop action and it's extremely well written. While the powers and skills are unique it doesn't have that feeling of being to Op and what I like most about the book is there's no unneeded fluff but it does not lack for details either all around it's an amazing book and you should definitely check it out.

I liked it

I liked this book, it was good, not overly so, but still good.
this review isn't gonna be long, but let's get into it.

Christian does really good, I love his work on alot of books and he's really a good narrator, he has a variety of different voices, and his work is exceptional.

The characters are okay, I don't really feel a connection with them, and there wasn't the depth I was looking for. I do like how they all have personalities, and there not just flat.
when we talk about skill progression, it's good, he ranks up fast, and he has a variety of unique skills, i also love the fighting, even though this book isn't that long it still has alot of action, the fighting is also detailed and i like how all the characters are included in the battles. There is something else I'd like to talk about also, this book feels rushed, it's very fast paced, but still rushed. I also feel like it's a little to short, that being said it's still a good short story. I do recommend this book, but beware it's very short.

The plot is okay, not flat persay, just rushed. I feel like if it wasn't like one encounter after another pumped into this short book it'd be better, but other than that I like it. I also like the world building, it's a unique tower climbing book, and I love those types of books. even with how short the book is, it still finds a way to be detailed and enthralling.

This a good short tower climbing book, something you can listen to in a day and be satisfied with the results.
I recommend this book for anyone who likes litrpgs like tower climber, tower of heaven, tokens in towers, purgatory, and many other tower books.

Good story but a little flat

This was an excellent story and plot but it came across a little flat. It felt more like reading a textbook then and exciting excitingstory.
