Darling of Fate

A LitRPG Adventure

De: Sean Dunning

Narrado por: Phil Thron

Join Dirk and his genius Goose companion in their relentless pursuit of the perfect run.

Dirk was America’s golden boy. Olympic golds, Wheaties box—the works.

That was ten years ago. Turns out going to prison is terrible for sponsorships. Now, he’s alone, a felony on his record, and bitter at the world.

Enter the Tower of Conflict.

Just what a man needs to get out of a rut—the end of the world and a Tower to Climb. Aided by his talking goose animal companion, magical cape, and the Goddess of Fate herself, Dirk is primed to take this Tower by storm.

He was always more of a lone wolf, but when the competing alien races start smacking humanity around the Tower, he’ll be forced to lean on his teammates, unlock new magic, and broker reluctant alliances.

Because if he doesn’t, humanity is doomed....

Welcome to the Tower, Climbers. Try not to die on the first day!

Don't miss this hilarious new LitRPG Apocalypse featuring a sometimes loveable and oftern muderhobo-ey MC, a know-it-all goose companion, honking good humor, a detailed System, time-loop magic, and more. It's perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Towers of Heaven, and Tower Climber.

well written, action and intelligent.

I don't know why there are bad reviews. it is not boring, it's got more than just action. Characters are three dimensional and become more fleshed out as the story progresses. the writing and narration are top notch, especially compared to much of the cookie cutter unoriginal stuff. it's well worth the read if you enjoy action AND good writing. I was worried in spots it might get preachy, but the author ended up just telling the story. We definitely need more of that, thank you.

story was meh

the story makes some leaps to and fro but had a lot of trouble keeping my attention but I powered thru it over all wasn't bad but wasn't a stand out story

Lots of intrigue and plot twists! Overpowered hero changes his fate by dieing!

Fast paced adventure that keeps you wondering how the hero will get out of his next battle! Great start for a new series!

Hopeful it gets better

Giving it 5 stars bc it has great potential. Very Good story and mechanic building. Interesting and different concepts. Funny in parts. The number of point of view Changes and time redo story telling is overwhelming. Also the constant ADHD interruptions add nothing to the story and detract from an otherwise well written book. This could be great but hopefully in the second book we get a relief from the duplicative details and the far too many view points.

Nice change of pace

While Dunning is new to me, Thron certainly isn’t. And I was here for Thron, stayed for Dunning. Both do a wonderful job with Darling of Fate. And I’m a sucker for a good animal sidekick. Go goose!

I like main character

Gotta love a Ahole main character that cares and learns from mistakes. He has goal and he does what he can to achieve it and makes adjustments as necessary

This is prolly one of my favorite reads this year. Join Dirk as he gallivants around.

I absodamnlutely loved this book! I really didn't know anything about the book, other than I trusted Aethon the publisher and I've enjoyed Phil Thron in the past... And don't get confused by the cover, the red cape... Darling of Fate isn’t a story of supers, it's a well rounded action-driven litRPG adventure. And it's well worth the time it takes you to listen. So join Dirk and his goose companion, yeah you heard me I said goose companion, as they build a team and go gallivanting though the system.

fun ride

Phil Thron knocks it out of the park again. Well writen and even better performance, it is a fun ride and looking forward to RDS the next book.

Amusing

Plenty of comedy and good action, sounds like leveling up is a little too much fun.

Classic style but excellent delivery

dont listen to any negative reviews this book is very well done. Possibly nothing new in this book, referring to tropes etc. however the narration is very good and the writing style kept me engaged the entire time.
