Curselock

Curselock, Book 1

By: Joseph McCoy

Narrated by: Matthew Bridges

The Dream Ceremony is the moment every young person accepts a Lord's patronage in the form of a Legacy.

For some, this simply means they become better farmers or axe-wielders. For others, it marks the beginning of a long journey.

On his nineteenth birthday, Leland Silver was offered a portion of a Lord's power. The only issue… it was from a Lord no one had ever heard of—the Lord of Curses.

Teamed with his two best friends—a Legacy of the Berserker and a Legacy of the Chameleon—Leland must learn quickly if he wishes to get anywhere in this newly opened world. Together, the trio will lead a relatively normal young adult life: protecting caravans, killing mana-lions, learning to play the harmonica, and forging contracts with gods.

You know, the usual things nineteen-year-olds get up to.

Not bad, pogression curse mage with no stats.

Felt like a coming of age book with 3 teenage boys trying to step out from their famous parents shadow. The 3 boys being uniquely talented find themselves in problems that as a budding adventurer trio, require solving from a murderous witch, to a false god trying to take over a city by mind controling the populous. In the process of resloving these conflicts the characters learn more about themselves and what they are capable of.

Great

I’m loving the book. The story is a lot of fun to listen to and I’m excited to see the characters grow

A fun listen

I liked the story, and I have already gotten the sequel. The characters are likable and I’ve liked the stuff they’ve gotten up to so far. The writing is kind of amature, but not so much so I was unable to continue. It got cheesy at times, kind of like when kids shows have those really cliche bits about friendship and stuff. Still, an enjoyable experience. I’ll definitely keep up with this series as they come. Love me a no-romance LitRPG.

This was OK

Although of the story was not bad, somewhat predictable with a few unique qualities about the characters. It really feels like a young adult novel. Definitely aimed for the teenage crowd.

Great story and character interactions.

Loved the book. Well paced, good characters, and I love the system. I highly recommend

Great Start

it has a really interesting premise and unique world building that stood out from most others in the genre. I look forward to seeing what the rest of the series will hold!
