Best one so far

Took a while but this one ended up being pretty enjoyable. Should be interesting to see how the next one turns out.

Guild Progression is Finally Noticed.

While the Guild progesses, increasing pressures come into play. I love the way Everret plans for the future, it makes for a interesting ending for this audio book. Can't wait for the next one.

Unfettered Power

This is the so far the best book in a most excellent series. Characters are mature, cohesive, and creates a fulfilling LITRPG adventure. This book is packed with non-stop action, dungeons, tournaments, intrigue and CRAFTING, oh my! Looking forward to the next book!

So Wonderful

Such a delightful series and book. I'm so glad for it! :) Thanks, Actus and Peter Berkrot.

Epic!

It just gets better with every book. I dont believe there is anything else I need to say 😁
