Length: 20 hrs and 45 mins

Publisher's summary

Condemned to die upon the sands.

I have been sentenced to death for the crime of being born; of winning the Hasran's war for them. But my death has purchased the freedom of my people, and so I go to it gladly, ready for whatever final torture they might have in mind.

The Imperator has decreed that I will be sacrificed in the Great Games, a sacred ritual that will magically empower the Gateway Arena. It requires five god-souled, the reincarnations of gods, divine shards that can be fed to the Arena, and used to increase its size.

It means my life has narrowed to one purpose: live. Each day I train, and each week I fight harder and harder challenges until I die. For there is no escape, no reprieve. Once the ritual begins it can only end with my death.

Awesomeness

This book series is so addictive. The characters and world building has been fun for me. I can’t get enough!

Wonderful

This series is full of action and should be a video game at least. Rich story and nothing is above happening to the main characters...scary but great!

The Stakes Keep Getting Higher

Chris Fox has done it again!! I can't believe how this series gets better with every book. The character development, progression of powers, and introduction of new characters is brilliant. I'm happily purchasing the next book in the series.

God of the fiction

Absolutely love Chris Fox's writing and wish he was my DM in D&D. I first discovered him by reading his void wraith saga and fell in love. Once I completed all his books in that series I decided I'd try his fantasy series. I don't normally like fantasy (or at least that's what I told myself) but I very quickly fell in love with the characters and story line. Ryan Burke's reading is always entertaining as well, he does a great job capturing the essence of each character and coming up with different voices for each (loved Gak). Can't wait for the next one!

Awesome

Always great work by Chris Fox and Ryan Kennard Burke!! Epic fantasy with a story that ties into all of his other series. Xal is becoming a GOD!

Who's the true MC?

Honestly with how Xal half asked everything and can get distracted from everything. He didn't even learn disnergrate yet.

Now Sageer the ratkin seems the true MC. Hes becoming an archmage and learning all magics. Saving people, doing what's right and even devoted to his love interest unlik Xal. Also he spends his time learning and making new spells. He keeps up without a Godsoul. He spends every free second learning, reading and training.


So I could see him the true hero of the series .

Like they come to a bookshelf full of super powerful spells and the MC doesnt even glance at them while Sageer takes book after book.

MC in last book had months to learn three spells and couldn't while Sageer learns new ones each day and makes up ones too.

MC is literal farm boy to chosen one cliche with prophecy cliche on top. He never has to work at anything just plot armors into it. From weapons to skills. At most he does a little physical work out that everyone else does too.

So while the story is interesting the MC is getting less and less worthwhile. At this rate he can just stub his toe and cause a avalanche that kills 10 gods and be praised for it.

great read

at the halfway point I felt like the book was over but then I had 12 more hours and didn't have to be sad anymore. great read!

So Enjoyable

This book was very enjoyable. I loved the two previous books. I really loved this one, though. This book is my favorite out of the three books I've listened to. Xal is turning into a force to be reckoned with. I 100% recommend this book if you liked book two.

Great book!!!!!!!!!

I have read every book from Chris Fox, he is a mastermind. I laughed and cried on this book. worth ever cent. keep up the great work. can't wait for the next book.

solid

really good but had a big lore dump that made it confusing to follow
