An NPC story.
With her pain potions in short supply, Maddie accepts a deadly run, picks up a package in Trox City, and crosses the desert plains to Port Troli. The only issues - an unwanted passenger and Tromoal breeding season.

The protagonist is remarkably cheerful, though, and does her best to survive despite the fact she's trapped in a cycle of dealing with neverending hordes of monsters and fetch quests.
Maddie is a likeable heroine, more the brides than Furiosa and eventually the book becomes a love story when she meets up with a player who is interested in her more than a bunch of pixels on a screen. Thankfully, this world seems to work on virtual reality.
The story is a bit on the short side but there's a lot of drama and it's interesting to see the view of the people in a World of Warcraft-esque world from the perspective of the starting dungeon. I think the author could have done a bit more joking around on the fact it is a video game but I really was interested in how the world worked.
Andrea Parsneau does an excellent job narrating and captures the protagonist's trials and tribulations. In conclusion, this is a great little book and enjoyable popcorn fiction to listen to.

But several of the books in the series are closer to novella than novels. These first few books really are one book, and the three books involving the sisters could also have been one book. Because of that I can't recommend you spend credits on these shorter books.
But if they are on sale or you have them on kindle and get the bundle discount, or if the author/publisher bundles the shorter related books into single credit arrangements definitely get these books. Or if you just aren't worried about that and simply want quality content, you could do far worse than this series.
On to the actual review, Puatera Online is a gamelit series that focuses on the npcs and their roles in the world, and how messed up life can be when you're an npc that knows you are an npc. That's right self aware npcs they get that Travelers are people who come from another world to play in their world and don't think the residents of this world are real.
These first few books focus on Maddie who is a Runner, sort of a transporter/mercenary/adventurer kind of thing. Think shadowrun meets mad max and that's pretty close. Maddie is an awesome hardcore professional with a steely reputation, but she's also very devoted to her community and a bit of a softy. She gets pulled into some political shenanigans and gets a big job thrust on her, and has to spend a bunch of time hanging out with a player... There is a lot of snarky dialogue and some really good action the plot builds steadily and most of the groundwork is done through these books that focus on Maddie.
Anyway it's great, the character development and slow reveal of the plot and game events build suspense very well there are a handful of clever plot twists and few easily recognizable tropes.
The narrator is excellent I really liked her voice for maddie and wished she would have continued into Akillia's book.
So good but too short

One pitfall I have heard about GameLit books is that they sometimes get bogged down with lists and lists of character stats and inventories. This is especially problematic in an audio version since the reader can’t just skim past and is forced to listen to every detail. This is not a problem with DESERT RUNNER. The mention of stats is rather infrequent. When they are included, it is limited to only one or two stats and they are presented in a manner similar to the ship’s computer on STAR TREK reading off diagnostics. It doesn’t interrupt the flow in the least.
Disclaimer: I received a free promotional code for this title from the author or distributor. However, no review was required in exchange for the code and receipt of the code did not affect the contents of my review (except for the inclusion of this disclaimer, of course 😉 ).
