Valor

The World of Eternis, Book 1

By: D.J. Dammeyer

Narrated by: Daniel Thomas May

Length: 12 hrs and 37 mins

Publisher's summary

Who knew running for your life and getting stabbed to death could be so...good?

As Thomas' life ends, the gods of another world swoop in and grab his soul. What they needed was a champion with the courage and strength to fight against the rising chaos in their world of Eternis. What they got was a college math student who spent more time gaming than he does studying. When they throw him into a new world, in a new body, at least they give him a familiar gaming interface. Or, it would have been familiar, if he hadn’t lost his memories from the trauma of his death.

Can he sort himself out and rise to the occasion without losing himself to the violence and duplicity that plagues the world of Eternis? Even the gods don’t know.

Ok but bad ending.

This was okay but a little lacking on the character interaction. There was supposed to be a strong emotional connection forming between the main character in the archer and she showed interest in him but you just just didn’t feel it. The whole thing came across like somebody was following a check list. It was more time spent on describing the magical system then on building the characters relationships. It is worth getting the next book and seeing how it goes from there.

Missleading cover

I dont know why there is a wolf on the cover but there are no wolfs at all in the story. The summary was very vague maybe not to spoil the story but it was not a good summary of the book imo. I liked most of the book but the ending ruined it for me so I dont think I will get the next book. The narrator did a great job first narration ive heard from him but it was a great job.

Great 👍🏿

I loved the book. it's well written and the story flows.
I wish it was longer though. 👍🏿

The ending Killed it

I’ll do my best not to spoil anything, but the last couple of chapters crushed any reason I might have to continue this series. The neat thing about books is that they can be more ideal than real life. So when a book takes a dark turn and irreversible tragedy happens, I lose all interest in the book. This book makes me crestfallen because it was so close to being a five star book for me. Now I’m just sad.

It’s good

It is pretty good it’s not a Defiance of the Fall or He Who Fights With Monsters but it is a decent story executed very good. Also the narration is awesome.

Start of a Good Series

Change the cover art. This story is a hidden gem. I hope the author continues the series and promote it on the litrpg forums.

The number of times i wanted to tell the mc to shut up.

You know whats worse than arrogance? False humility. The longer things go the more I realize that reading a book where the mc is the center of the world, yes i hear what i’m saying, dosent feel worth while.

Great story ending hurt a lot Though:(

Spoiler alert … in the end amazing book not for faint of heart


If the main character goes down the ruthless anti hero path like I really hope he is it will be amazing but if he gets held back and doesn’t go destroy it’s horse shit having to loose supporting cast like that and not get extremely strong super fast cause you have hardened your heart and will do anything to slay the ones responsible… would just feel like a slap in the face I really didn’t like the depressing emotions I was subjected too there in the end but i really liked the last words of vengeance!!!!!!!

Misleading cover art & summary

Idk if the point was to surprise ppl, but IMO the target audience will just miss out on a gem
...the story is cultivation fantasy with game mechanics
Its a little simple, but the writing is solid. Narrator does a good job too.
I consume a lot of progression fantasy, and this one is not the best ever ...but it's not bad at all, definitely worth a credit

This is a good start to a whole new fantasy

It is a good start to whole new fantasy with a main character that you're going to like while at the same time is in time setting up for new characters and showing the emotional range is the emotional range of the characters both tragic and happy
