still good

wasn't totally sold on the direction of the book, but it's the same solid quality as previously so nothing to complain about there

Audio wise, Andrews butchers the word Mob and it's used A LOT in this book...
but this is my main complaint about the Audio in this book...
had the word been used maybe 5 times it'd have been 4 stars, but it's so many times it hurt to listen to certain chapters...
still a solid performance aside from that

Get the next book.

Totally different concept for gaming books. Actually gives real world 🌎 advantages to gaming. The only way wars should be fought. Maybe our World will evolve .

Dragon Ball Z meets Afro Samurai!

Best book of the series so far! I need more lol. Well done Mr Thorne, keep them coming.

Third time tops them yet

Apollos Thorne has proven himself a master of the LitRPG storyline. Every installment of the Codename Freedom series has intricately built upon its previous volume. The characters have depth and many have grown into my my friends. I truly care about their future and anxiously await the next volume.

Entertaining while still being clean

It is very refreshing to find an author that has not succumb to the never ending pressures of liberal political forces. This series has remained clean while still telling an interesting story that is well written from the very start of book one to the conclusion of the trilogy in this book. When I say clean, I mean free of foul language, sex scenes, or other inappropriate themes. This series is about war, so bad things do happen, but at least those topics are covered at a higher level without going into gritty details.

It was fun to watch not just the main character's development, but that of many of the other characters as well. I am not a fan of level based systems in games, but I do like how the combat ranking was separated from the leveling system. This allowed a character to unlock special abilities as they leveled while not necessarily increasing their combat ranking.

I am looking forward to the next set of books that will continue the story into the second stage. I am glad that I finally finished this book (after binge listening the entire trilogy) so that I can get back to work, because I had a really hard time putting this book down and would often make breaks during the day just to get another chapter or two in.
