Length: 17 hrs and 4 mins

Publisher's Summary

Book four of The Realms. Continuing the epic LitRPG series begun in Barrow King.

Gryph would give his life for his sister but saving her could cost him his soul.

Gryph entered the Realms with one mission, to save his sister Brynn. He didn’t want friends. He didn’t want responsibilities. He didn’t want to care. But even the best-laid plans go awry, and after escaping a sentient dungeon and defeating a would-be world conqueror, Gryph is no closer to finding Brynn.

Then, while mourning the tragic death of a friend and grappling with the burdens of leadership, an ally, thought long dead, returns offering the slimmest of hopes.

This hope takes Gryph and his friends on a journey through strange lands where they must outwit a mystical crime syndicate, evade an infallible bounty hunter and face-off against Brynn herself, now a goddess with no memory of her true self.

Gryph must triumph over them all. If he fails, both he and his sister will not only lose their lives, they will lose their souls.

pretty good with very minor issue

really like the narration n the story.. but I find that at parts the author kept emphasising on how the mc could respawn n the others could not. I think we got it. maybe a different way of putting it could be better else itd be like repeat of the same sentence.

also I think there's 2 audio editing problems. 1 in chapter 13 .. where there's a pause in tbe middle of a sentence n there's a weird exhaling or nose blowing sound n another repeat of a few words 3/4 into the book.. or maybe it's just me...

solid

Solid book. This one covered a lot in terms of story progression. It sets up the series to really keep going in a different direction. The flow and character progression was great. Plenty of back and forth banter. Curious to see the outcome of Wick.

yet again... amazing

this series easily took over as my fav litrpg. it is so well done. i hope everyone else enjoys it as much as i did.

The action is on

Things escalated and the action is by far elevated in this book .. you won’t be able to pause or stop listening till the end ... and wow what an end .. I look forward to reading the next book :)

Cause He's a Soul Man!

Great story and engaging narration!

Gryph and crew have finally been reunited, and are reeling due to the loss of a comrade. They are finally in a position to go rescue Gryph's sister, but a certain high-god has sent a mysterious stranger out, and things will get complicated! Will siblings be reunited, and Gryph's sister be rescued?

Armen Taylor continues to do a stellar job narrating this series.

An epic adition to the series!

I really loved this one, and if you enjoyed the rest of this series, then you will too!

good book

love the series. can't wait to see how the characters progress through the rest of the series

Always so well written

I always enjoy the pacing of these books there is a fine balance of explanation that is needed, humor, action, and character development. One wheel with many well done spokes.

excellent

love the intrigue and addition of new caricature of life and humor mixed with humaniti's interaction with their god

great book

this is a really good book.
I've enjoyed the series so far, great story and plot, good status page to story ratio so it doesnt take up half the book, if you enjoy litrpg/ virtual reality games you will love this series.
keep up the great work

amazing

It is a tale of adventure, mayhem, and loyalty, filled with crazy action, way too much stupidity, and tons of laughs.
amazing book its a must buy you will not regret it

Great Twist

The author introduces some interesting new mechanics and delivers another compelling story with the great characters we have come to enjoy. Narrator did a good job portraying such a vast roster of people in a convincing way.

Lots of anticipation for the next book!

unexpected ending

c.m. carney brought more twists and turns to the table, with Armen Taylor expertly narrating the story bring the characters to life, just when we thought we would see an end to the story, it gets a new twist of intrigue and life!

Keeps getting better

Probably the best so far, as we start the story with a reunion of griff and lex which truly are a great combo. A lot story progression as we start the adventure against the fake gods.

great continuation

very good way to end the book, lots of unexpected twists and turns. really enjoyed it

Bad accents and terrible "jokes" make this a flop

I'm regretting my commitment to this series after the yawn fest that was book 3.
This was book 4 and it's supposed to be humorous. Perhaps it appeals to a different audience than me, I didn't laugh once, didn't even snort. It's like being in the company of a group of people who think they're funny and none of them are.
Armen Taylor is not good at delivering humour, so maybe the book is a funny read. But even worse than Armen's terrible attempts at making the story humorous is his atrocious dwarven accents. The Scotsman in me wanted to burst my ear drums, uurgh! Don't get me wrong he's a good narrator, just not good at delivering the "humour" (for want of a better term) or dwarven/Scottish accents.
Story is good but would have been much improved if the attempts at infantile humour and the cringeworthy party bonding scenes, which were over done and over long, were reduced or removed.
Books 1 and 2 were ok but this was like eating a badly cooked dessert after an excellent starter and main.

Scourge of Boredom!

Once again I find myself at the end of a fantastic novel from the Realms series and this makes me sad. I don't want it to end!
As I've mentioned before, the combination of the writing and the quality of narration creates a fascinating performance that is impossible to turn off. I recommend this to anyone!

great story but accents were hard on the ears

The dwarf accents are painful attempt at Scottish accent that made me cringe every time

another great audio book

loved this audiobook great narration for a epic series love the writing and story can not wait for the next one

Great story

All I can say is this series keeps you coming back time and time again
main characters are so funny constantly changing and growing as the series goes
this series is a must read or listen.
5 star
