Queen in the Mud

De: Maari

Narrado por: Larissa Thompson

A girl suddenly vanishes from her world and finds herself drifting in and out of consciousness in a world of pure darkness. The only insight into her precarious situation is a prompt opening before her eyes indicating that the system failed to delete her.

The doggedly optimistic and naive teenager, Naomi, is reborn as a monster into a fantastical world governed by the rigid rules of a suspiciously game-like system; a world full of magic and danger where the familiar mingles with the inexplicable. She finds herself deep in the bizzarre, savage forests of the unclaimed lands where deadly monsters prowl in the shadows just out of sight.

After a close brush with death, any hope that this could be a lighthearted adventure evaporates as she feels real pain for the first time. The realization sinks in as Naomi comes to terms with this not being just a game; it’s her reality now.

As if coming to grips with the life or death survival situation she finds herself in isn’t enough, the description of one of her skills seems to be speaking to her....

Awesome!

It's been a while since I've been excited about a series, and this one is a great start. It has an enchanting feel and just a nice and refreshing addition in a very stale genre.

Got me wanting more!

So I started this book not really expecting anything. I listened to and read multiple reincarnation/world-hopping books and this might be no different. However, as I started listening to it I couldn't put it down. I loved how they slowly started to reveal some hidden truths and not just dropped everything on you in very short order. I didn't even know I hit the last chapter till I hit the credits that was how I knew this was a good book. This book has me wanting more of this series of our little Queen in the Mud.

New addition to my top five litRPGs to recommend.

I am excited to see the queen in future installments. I love the non human MC. It's not done very often. Tho she is the queen she is still relatable.

unique perspective world

I really enjoyed this book. While the core concept is not 100% unique ( if I gave details it would be a spoiler ) the perspective of the main character as a large newt is. I enjoyed the simplicity of the fantasy world designed within and found myself daydreaming about playing the sort of game with natural development described therein. The story is absolutely charming. The narrator was also fantasticly clear and easy to listen too. I only choose 4 star for performance as it was some times hard to differentiate one character from another if I had not been paying attention when their name was announced

Solid title

Strong story, good characters. A little heavy on character sheet / skill description reading, but not too bad. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

The narrator occasionally stumbles on words, and mispronounces words (eg chitin), but otherwise does a great job.
