This box set contains all books in the Uniworld Online Trilogy:

The Song Maiden

The Song Mistress

The Song Matron

The skills of a talented and determined Bard are not to be trifled with…

Cadence was born with a previously unknown disability that prevented her from being able to communicate verbally or through the use of sign language, though it didn’t prevent her from using the written word. Regardless of the challenges she faced through her short life, she persevered and started her first year at college, rooming with her best friend Jill.

However, a brutal attack that left her near death caused her to be without a way to easily relay information about her attackers. With no other options available to communicate with others – and with boredom as a result of being confined to a hospital bed having a detrimental effect on her health – Jill came up with a way for her best friend to play a game.

Not just any game, however; Uniworld Online was the newest offering from Unitech, a company that designed a new method of fully immersing oneself into a game using a special technology called and NVERS. Set in a fantasy setting with opposing Light and Dark Factions, the immersive virtual reality game is unlike any other the world has ever seen. Having never played a video game before, though, Cadence is subjected to completely unfamiliar territory. Unlike every other player inside Uniworld, she isn’t playing the game to kill monsters and get stronger; instead, she wants to help the citizens of the world (which the other players call NPCs), because that gives her a sense of purpose while her body heals back in the real world.

The best thing about Uniworld, however, was that it provided her with something she had never had before: a voice. And with that voice, she has an opportunity to bring justice to her attackers – and maybe even change the landscape of Uniworld in the process.

Contains LitRPG elements such as character progression, quests, skills, stats, and stat sheets. No harems and sparse foul language.

A Great Read

This trilogy is well written, characters are such they evoke a gambit of emotions.
Having the direct result of bingeing the entire series in 2 days!

Pleasant

At first it started abit slow for myself. But over all was a good trilogy. There was a few times I was wondering why the main character and her group didn't make use of more of her skills. There's a few twist that seem plausible and a few that may stretch it at the end. Will be waiting to see if more comes out for this series.

deacent, but bit flat

i did finish the first book, but ending was absurd and totally unrealistic.
ps. if you'r legal councel ever tells you, that you have to live with NDA signed under diress, chained to hospidal bed, without councel and witnesses unable to communicate and thretened with violence - he/she is corrupt, exreeeemly incompetent or sadist.

A feelgood story!

This is a very nice feelgood story, som high and lows, but all in all it is an excellent audio book with a very good narrator.

Finally a bard story

Who would of thought of a story for a dwarven bard? If you like bards and female mcs, check this one out.

Imaginative

The reader will find this book exciting and enjoy how the writer came up with several inventive ways to tell their story.

Great First Series

I have been reading this authors books for the past two years. i joined with the later series and can see how he grew.

For these books, overall, not much to complain about. the first two books in this series are flawless and capture the imagination of the reader. the last book, feels a bit rushed. It would have been better to break it into two books for the storylines could be better finished.

good books and worth a long read.

When a non-gamer gets a game-breaking skill

This story was a great take on LitRPG. It's a charming tale of what happens when a non-gamer ends up in a game because of tragedies that leave her bedbound in real life. It makes sense that a girl who can't speak in real life would choose a class that centers around using her newly-discovered voice, ignoring the fact that her race isn't really suited to that class. There are plenty of fights and powers and levels to go around, but fundamentally this is about a non-gamer who becomes a gamer due to circumstance, but is able to unlock game-breaking levels of power precisely because she is approaching the game in a casual manner. If you want to see someone grinding and optimizing their build, this isn't going to be the story for you. But plenty of stories will give you that, and this was thoroughly enjoyable as is.

enjoyed, but some content seemed to lack substance

I am a new fan of the game literature genre, and the stats are sometimes a clutter where you just want to find out what changed, but you get the entire picture over and over again. but besides that, I enjoyed the story. though I find that some elements of this story were mostly tossed in as filler substance over importance when it's a concept that seemed at the introduction of it as mildly important.

Fantastic LitRPG story

I love the story of this series. The characters have good depth and as a MMORPG player for years, some of the negatives of that world demonstrated in this story struck a cord for me. The only thing that I felt was a detractor to this series in audio version was the narration. If I never listen to another book by this narrator it will be too soon! A number of the voices were like nails on a chalk board. Specifically the voice used for the stat and character information was horrible. The way they drew out words and pronounced words almost made me stop listening in book one. I am VERY glad I endured the narrator for the sake of the story!
