Publisher's summary

The Sacred Kingdom has enjoyed a great many years without war thanks to a colossal wall constructed after a historic tragedy. They understand best how fragile peace can be. When the terrible demon Jaldabaoth takes to the field at the head of a united army of monstrous tribes, the Sacred Kingdom’s leaders know their defenses are not enough. With the very existence of the country at stake, the pious have no choice but to seek help wherever they can get it, even if it means breaking taboo and parlaying with the undead king of the Nation of Darkness!

Everything was amazing

The voice acting was amazing and left me thoroughly impressed. The flexibility and fluctuations he was able to achieve were incredible

Amazing, as always.

As always, Chris G. did an amazing job with the story, the voices and everything else. There could literally be nobody better to read this story than him, very well done.

It ended too soon!

It's almost a side story, but it's still great. It's a necessary book that sets up the following. But still, it is great on its own.

One of the best arcs in Overlord

What an incredible volume. The story really takes an interesting turn by having Ainz’ POV take a backseat and following Neia instead. We get to see Ainz from a different perspective and how he is perceived by those outside Nazarik. Neia is very awkward in an almost charming way, so following her perspective has been endearing. While it is cathartic to see Ainz use his overwhelming power to save people in the Sacred Kingdom, we also know it is all part of a nefarious plan, so there’s always a sense of unease.

Chris Guerrero’s vocal range really shines this volume. As always he does a fantastic job portraying the Supreme One, Ainz Ooal Gown, but that shouldn’t sell short the other characters. Some standouts this volume were also Neia, Remedios, Demiurge, and King Buser. Scenes with Remedios were particularly harrowing, with the weight of her emotional outcries.

This arc plays Overlord to all its strengths, so I’m very excited to see its conclusion next volume.

Love the Orator not crazy about this part.

I really like this series don't get me wrong, this section just doesn't feel like a complete story or has a satisfying ending. I know it's part one, but it would be better to have just been combined.

Just an absolute fan

Since the anime hasn't caught up to this point, it was all to exciting to listen to this new material. Most of the characters introduced all had decently flushed out back stories, and motives. Which makes me eager to see how Ainz pulls out with another W

Great Book - Crap Narrator

If you made it this far, you know you are going to buy this book so why are you even bothering with reviews? Anyway, look forward to Demiurge's new weapon.

Getting past the anime finally

Can't wait for more, see how this story progresses, it's a simple joy having Ainz cluelessly trying to adapt when the crew would always see whatever he does as the smartest move without question
