Solo #1

By: Vasily Mahanenko, Anna Allen - translator

Narrated by: Christopher P. Brown

I was the greatest mage of chaos of my time, spending sixty years defending the world from rift creatures. If there was a mission—I completed it. If there was an enemy—I destroyed them. I was loyal to the Empire to my bone, until it decided to wipe out the Chaos clan and every last one of its members.

But life has a way of surprising you, and I got a second chance to walk the entire path again. Except the rules were different this time around. Now chaos is the weakest of the six elements, and its mages are considered bottom-feeders.

Well, time to show this world just how dead wrong it is. Chaos is mighty, and so is its true warrior!

I'm sure you could find issue with something or dig up some kind of flaw somewhere. But honestly I enjoy virtually everything Vasily has released. I hope he's in good health and keeps writing for decades.

An interesting take on a chaos skill

Overall, I enjoyed the story. The author begins be providing an amble backstory for what becomes the MC's motivation for his quest. While the plot mostly revolves around him, he does take in several sidekick characters, oddly, all female and all described as stunningly beautiful HaHa!

I look forward to the next book in the series.

Christopher P. Brown's performance was quite good.

okay

It's good but it's way to short for 1 credit. if it was in a bundle with book 2 and 3, or even just book 2 it would be worth it.

Definitely worth a credit

This was a very enjoyable. Listen I finished it in one day. Can’t wait to listen to book 2 and continue in this great series.

it's ok

It's ok, at least it's not misery listening porn like most Russian novels. Where the protagonist has to suffer the entire time. Pretty sure I will get the next one
