Sting & Song

Beesong Chronicles, Book 1

By: Benjamin Medrano

Narrated by: Reba Buhr

What happens when the god of chaos wins a divine poker game?

Bee-girls.

The life of a giant bee is a simple one. The life of a giant bee when her queen turns the entire hive into human-like apis to fend off an attack? That’s a good deal more complicated.

Getting down from a 50-foot giant rose without wings while surviving the attacks of malevolent wasps is just a start. Surviving long enough to figure out what to do with her new life proves to be something of a challenge, but at least that much is understandable.

Of course, that’s when she gets sucked into the tangled web of an ambitious demon lord who’s threatening to plunge the world into a war.

The only question is, are the gods done with her yet?

a very good read

This is the first lit rpg like novel book I've listened to from this author though if focused more on the story rather than stats which is good. It was enjoyable from start to finish and I only wish it was a little longer though.

i need more joy

joy is such an adorable character i just cant get enough of her at all.

better then expected

I've listened to a few of the authors others book and this is their best one by far. I can't wait for the next book to find out what else happens with Joy.

Gamers might like it.

In essence it's a story about a new race/ new expansion in a video game world. The characters don't know its a video game, but it's clearly a video game. I'm a gamer I liked it. Ready for next in series.

Fun female-centric LitRPG

This book was a fun listen with excellent voice talent. The RPG portion is a little less crunchy than many LitRPG books while also using dialog to give exposition about the world and how things work. These sessions of exposition ocassionally slow the pacing, but only in reasonable places and never too long to be a distraction. Finally, my favourite feature: no heavy handed politics that can sometimes become a distraction in female centric books. The story is key here, and the characters just happen to primarily be female. It works, and it works well.
