These Hallowed Bones

A LitRPG Adventure

De: Drew Kelly

Narrado por: Johnathan McClain

An action-packed LitRPG Adventure perfect for fans of Elden Ring, 1% Lifesteal, and Unbound.

Death is only the beginning of his fight.

Beyond Haven’s walls, twilight smothers corrupted realms. Yet in the Field of Broken Banners, where the last great army fell, something older than despair takes root, Purpose.

Forgotten oaths stir in blood-soaked soil as bones rise from hallowed ground. Not a lone hero reborn, but a guardian forged of countless warriors’ final breaths. A silent champion shackled to the last desperate command that ended an age:

Hold the line. Protect them all.

It bears no name. Needs no flesh. Fears no death. Only the dead remember how to stand guard. Some promises outlast even death.

Don't miss the start of this new atmospheric monster evolution LitRPG adventure featuring the heroic undead, demon hunting, an overpowered Death Knight MC, power progression, dark magic, and so much more.

Mixed Bag

I really enjoyed the idea and the world building. The narration was honestly great. The only main problem I had was that I would notice inconsistencies and VERY repetitive writing. I understand the repetition could be due to OCD writing but the inconsistencies were kinda ridiculous. Stuff like "It would take three days to reach this location if the survivors can make the trek," to "I have no knowledge of how long it would take to get there for them, the dead do not have need for time." While these weren't perfect quotes, things of this nature were very prevalent.

Cool MC in a dark world

The MC is gritty and relentless. The undead twist was unique and opened the door to some cool abilities. The internal monologuing got repetitive at time. So long as he is fighting things were pretty awesome. The is a lot of potential here. The narration did a good job creating a dark atmosphere.

Unique MC

The author repeatedly uses "these old bones" but it seems to be used in place of "he" or "her" as the MC is not one individual but instead is something made up of the memories of any bones they have used in their form.

I do like the MC being what they are as it is a refreshing difference from just another human hero against all odds, this MC isn't human but an amalgamation of difference races from humans to dragons without all the politics the usual MC has to go through. Overall I like the book except for some parts that are repetitive. Looking forward to the next book.

immediately started listening to it again

If you like a dry, take no s#&% absolute tank of a fighter that is actually Intelligent, you'll love this book. well written from a different but refreshing point of view with none of the needless fluff you get in some stories. You want purpose, action and a good fight then then sit and listen, these hallowed bones have a tale to tell.

bones with purpose to protect

when the world is mostly deep in corruption and demon lords Humans have only their last stronghold, Ancient bones hears humanity's call to protection, rises our MC to protects.

there is plenty of action and an unique world setting and a different point of view. can't wait to see where the journey goes in the next book
