Good start

When I'm reviewing, I usually give a lenient review to the first in a series and the last in a series because at the beginning its new and tends to be rough and rocky and then if it even makes it to the end that dismount can be a real mother. With that said the other thing I do is separate personal preference from the rest of the review. This book is a good start to what should shape up to be an amazing series. I do have one note about the lady narrator which is that her performance comes off like an actor acting. If that's clear as mud the example that I would give, is you're watching a TV show and one of the characters is supposedly starring in a play and so the acting is played up for that scene in the story. I didn't realize until about halfway through the book that I had listened to another audio-book with this lady narrator and while I couldn't find the review for that book it seems to me that I had the same note back then but that it wasn't as noticeable because it was a solo narration. After a while I stop noticing it because I was so into the story. The other note that I have is for the author regarding the MC’s accent. I think given the circumstances the gentleman narrator made the right choice if it was all up to him. Now I'm not a writer so forgive me if I don't articulate this correctly, but the story is written in first person which the narrator performs in American English and then when the MC speaks to themself internally or talks to another character it's a non-American accented English. At first, I was confused because it sounded like there was another person in the scene but quickly, I realized what was going on. Given how the book was written I don't think that there would have been a better way for the narrator to do this however my recommendation would be to write in third person and then have the MC with the accent. It's not a deal breaker, but it's just one of the things that I noticed that was a little off. Moving on to my personal preference I'm going to say that I was a little confused with what was going on in the story at the beginning and I've still got questions now that I'm at the end. I was not a fan of the MC’s accent, but after a while it really didn't matter to me. I don't like the evil Valkyries though I'll admit I've not seen them really treated that way in anything else I’ve read or listened to. That's a new one for me, but it's not quite to my liking. At the end of the day the book was entertaining enough to get me to go check out book 2 which is available now as an eBook only. I do want to see where the story goes from here.

Terrible narration

Could barely focus in any story. Every "Ssss" sounding words or syllables the man WHISTLED DESTROYING MY EARS.

New author! Great Book!

The cover to this audiobook drew me in immediately. The story was engaging and the narration was top notch. I can't wait to check out the next audiobook! Keep a watch out for Mark Torr!

great series

Waiting patiently for the 2nd one. they only thing I don't get is the debt. but the story is fascinating.

Worth it

I thought it was worth the credit but yet again I end up with a book with only one so far in series so now the wait is on looking forward to next

What a way to kick off a series!

"I recently read Divine Collector by Mark Torr, and I have to say it's a solid addition to the progression fantasy harem genre. The characters are engaging, the worldbuilding is rich, and the action is intense. I can't wait to see where the story goes next!"

Honest and good story

The premise of the story is something that catches my eye. But if there was something to worry about it would have to be the inflection of the female narrator’s voice both in and outside of the scenes. There are times when you hear the words and you think that they might have sounded different in the moment. Like a phrases would have been more teasing If it sounded like a question. Or a purring response sounded less like a purr and more sultry. Otherwise it’s an amazing story I can’t wait to get my hands onto the second book

Over all not bad.

Not bad but plenty of room for improvement. I don't like to leave negative reviews and I will continue that trend. However I will give the author some constructive criticism...change the male narrator and firm up world. A little bit of tweaking the story line here and there would do wonders for the book.

Elves of Jersey Shore

2 items: why is his inner voice (narration) and outer voice different and I love that the Elves sound like they're from Jersey

mediocre at best

The story and characters have very little framework that makes sense to me. The characters are constantly reacting and acting in nonsense ways. My main issue is with the story and world building after listening to 60-70% of the book I still don't understand the world the magic the motives of any character or faction. Why are elves nature hating human hunting psychopaths and a bunch of other Qs that are never answered. The entire world building story and characters don't have much substance and isn't solid enough to have plot holes. Voice acting has all the problems other reviewers have mentioned shifting accents though its hard to blame the acting when the dialog and chars are so unrealistic and nonsensical. I think most of the story and characters exists in the authors mind and never made it to the page in a way that makes sense to a reader
