Publisher's summary

Olgerd and his tribal NPC gang have finally discovered the Forbidden City. Problem is, they haven't found what they were looking for. The ancient maps are hopelessly out of date, and the Ennan capital city is lying in ruins.

In the meantime, their enemies are closing in. Noctean hordes are arriving from the Silver Mountain Valley; the Dark army has already crossed the Back Stream, and the forces of Light have already entered the Icy Woods.

The magic protection sphere which Olgerd received from the city's invisible guardians is about to expire.... The only way he can save the lives of his trusty NPC friends is by activating the Twilight Obelisk.

Disorganized

First of all, read the books in order. This book lacks the introductory explanation to ease the reader into the story. This book follows on where the third book ended. Remember the mirror he got? Yeah it gets used once in this book but never explained. It's deus ex machina but the author thinks about these things books in advance so I guess it's ok.

The story is a little disorganized and isn't as exciting as the previous books in the series. This is due in part to the disconnected nature of the substories. The lead up to the next book is ackwardly tacked on. It should be an afterword.

The plot outcome is still a surprise. Yes he raids dungeons, yes he gets cool loot, and yes he levels up.

Did the aurthor die or something,Book5 please.?

Where is book 5, and of course i loved it. When is it coming out, soon i hope.?

Loved the first 3, can't finish this one

Literally. I listen at night and I keep falling asleep during it. Not sure what's even happening cause I can't stay awake.

Buy if you want to cure insomnia.

The story feels like "The Last Jedi" movie.

While I enjoyed the series and performance I felt that the writing was leading up to something more but in the end I felt the writer decided he was done with the story and just wanted to take the easy way out leaving what could have been a much better story behind. The intrigue set forth in the previous books is just cast aside with no real explanation leaving me to feel much like Star Wars episode 8...

AWESOME

Man i am not looking forward to waiting for the next book. this one was incredible.

Boring story, annoying narrator

The narrator has a very odd way of speaking that's very distracting; plus, he speaks slowly and conveys a depressed attitude that casts a pall over the entire story. I followed the advice of another commenter and boosted the playback speed 20%, which helped.

Otherwise, the story is very run-of-the-mill. Hard to really care about the main character.

Probably the only reason I keep buying these audiobooks is that by the time the new one is available, I've forgotten that I disliked the previous one.

Never thought I could Binge an audio series

I have to give credit where credit is due. Mirror World is an amazing series which leaves me constantly yearning for the advancement of VR technology. There's just enough reality thrown into this crazy adventure that I feel like I could jump into Mirror World give or take a few years. It truly is amazing. <3 The world itself is wonderfully built. Osaduchuk really knows how to se the stage and expand upon the world without detracting from the plot...… The characters too are masterfully done. Watching them progress has been an absolute joy to listen too. Osaduchuk took great care to make sure stagnant waters stayed far away from our heroes. Which is a trap a lot of authors tend to fall into. Natural progression is very important and it's nice to see it flow so easily here. Also, I have to give credit to our Voice Actor~! I was engaged the entire time I was listening. Not once did I ever feel like the emotions were forced and the voices were just so spot on! Great work. A VA can make or break and Audiobook and I honestly can't wait to hear your voice again.

great pace and fun litrpg

I really enjoyed this tale, the story didn't drag and left me excited for the next in the series!

terrible plot ..

the entire story was godawful and the author relied way to heavily on deus ex machina moments and it was also very cringey when the character interacted with characters

epic

friggin epic! loved every second of it.
from the wall to the citadell to the mountais it keept me listening almost unabridged.

A great story

A great story. in depth and deep world. But someone needs to tell Kyle that trebuchet is not pronounced with the "T" on the end. its French it's treb-you-shay not treb-you-shet!

fantastic conclusion

this was a great end to the series. I do agree with other reviewers that the book was kind of rushed in the end ( whats with the Tanner business?) I think we might have added another book to the series maybe... or another hundred pages to this book. Thank you Alexey for taking us to Mirror world. I had a great time!

love it!!!!

I just love these book's the only thing i could say is this last book was short a little detail in places. but i still love the story
