Empire of Cards

A Fantasy LitRPG Adventure (Convoker Series, Book 1)

De: Andrew Karevik

Narrado por: Graham Halstead

When I was summoned to the family estate, I had no idea that my life was about to take a drastic turn. One moment I was good old Arthur, a young man with no real aim in life, the next I was in possession of my first four magical cards, on my way to become a Convoker!

But if my grandfather had entrusted this huge responsibility to me, I had to prove worthy. I had to take on the life of an Adventurer and complete our lineage quest—a perilous search and rescue mission in the most treacherous parts of our lands. But first things first, as a new Convoker, I had to start by learning the ropes and discover how to tame the Espers within the cards so they would at least listen to me. That's the only way I would gain any type of power.

And the gods know I will need power. It's a huge world out there, full of wonders and strange creatures, but also rife with monsters and mortal dangers. To stay alive, I will need to build my Convoker's deck, with the right mix of spells, minions, and equipment cards.

Wish me luck as my journey leads me to duel other Convokers and also infiltrate the lair of some cruel Spider Goddess. But I guess such is the life of a Convoker—live by the cards, die by the cards.

Could have been a good series...

This could have been a good series But I guess the author decided not to proceed with it because it's been years & no 2nd book, yet they've written 12 others.So I'm taking a star off overall for not continuing the series, which it is clearly listed as being.
It's a shame because this was rather enjoyable with a unique card power based system I've not encountered before.
Onto something else I suppose...

This book is a masterpiece of hilarity!!

From the moment I began listening to this book I was hooked. The MC is such a bumbling character that I couldn't stop listening to his hijinks. I'm eagerly waiting for the next book in the series.

MC

the MC is too annoying, but the overall story is pretty nice, but MC is naive and/or stupid.

a good story

not the best but not bad the main character is a little winy at the beginning and way to trusting throughout the story but I would continue listening if there where more to the story.

I loved it

The world building is absolutely terrible there's some very clear inconsistencies BUT The characters are so well written that it just draws you in. it gave me that fun feeling like I'm watching pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh but clearly in a magical world.
