Loved it

I can’t wait for more stories in this world! I hope I get to see more of edd as he is hands down one of my favorite characters I’ve read about who live in this fantastic reality.

In a realm between realms, a skeleton rises. Edd….

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Another great "light novel" from the duo and excellent for adults and young adults alike. Reborn as a skeletal gladiator, a champion for his new master, Edd does not dissapoint. I've always wondered what could happen to a necromancer after his untimely demise and now I know one possibility. The plot and storyline moved along at a good place. I look forward to book 2 and the rest of the series! Audio Version: Excellent narration by Christopher Harbour. There was only one voice I couldnt stand but that's just a preference.

Magnificent New Series - Can't Wait For New Books

These authors have an excellent new series on their hands, beginning with this book. I'm always looking for a new series to sink my teeth into, and this by far has been the best book I have come across in a long time. I can't wait to see what they come up with next and will even check out some of their other books while I wait.

A quick, fun listen.

An enjoyable story. Starts out a little slow, but by the end when the MC is coming into his own with his powers, it starts to shine. There is some good humor (especially with the voice of the high-pitched spider). Could have leaned a bit further in with the MC. He gets renamed from a real dark, gothic sounding name to Edd--but the name change doesn't end up making any difference in the story. While not perfect, it's a quick listen, and by the end it did have me looking forward to where Edd's story goes if a sequel happens.

part of a bigger whole

the book was a quick read with a didn't waste time going from Point A to Point B. the story can feel at times like it is missing something and that is because it is part of a much bigger shared universe all building towards a shared conclusion. the performance was spot on with the tone of the book and the voices fit each character that they were pared with.

good short story

interesting world, and story. it was very short, with a good performance. needs little more story to make it a 5 star

This one has good bones...

First off, let me tell y'all I did receive a free copy for review. I was commenting on another book and mentioned that I had never heard of the narrator, but looked forward to trying him out, and blamo! The Wolfe himself tossed me a code.

Does that mean I will go easy and cast only favorable reviews? Not on your life! My integrity knows no such weakness.

So it is a good story, I really look forward to getting more of this one, in hopefully a more Fleshed out (can you tell I'm a dad yet?) second installment. While I find the redemption arc an enjoyable MC trope, I would like to have this one explained in more detail. It doesn't fully destroy the oh so important verisimilitude, but it sure does make my Skin crawl a bit.

OP MC? Or just reasonably stronger due to being the #1 draft pick? I'll let you decide, but there's enough in there for both preferences. I do like the explanation of powers, and skills, but would like some more explanation of the secondary skill-set and how it exists. 4 hours is tough to build worlds and systems fully, but the Skeleton is complete enough to let the logical conclusions be jumped to. In that next book though....this would be a neat place to do some explaining.

I feel that this is a complete story, out of a much larger larger tale, does that make sense? It's definitely worth a listen, even at it's shorter play time, it's just good, I make no Bones about it...I should probably have stopped after the first one, but I am weak. Unlike this book.

...yes, yes I do fill my wife's account with hundreds of litRPG, space operas, and scifi goodness.

great continuation of the series!

works is the start of a new series with connections to other series by these authors!

A fun addition!

I enjoyed this.

I liked the battle scenes. The narrator did a great job. I've been following his work for a little while now. I'll definitely be picking up more stuff by him.

An interesting side story

The world that is built is very interesting and ever growing. Although some parts of the story were predictable I still found myself enjoying them. It’s a well written short side story for an expansive world. That is what you get here and as long as you accept that you will enjoy this book.
