About this listen

The virtual world of Barliona is a place of rest and entertainment - but not for everyone. It has become a survival arena for Daniel Mahan after he was sentenced to eight years in its virtual jail. Mahan has been through it all: the back-breaking work in the mines, betrayal by other prisoners, and finally, the retrial which has released him into Barliona's common world. What more could one want? Mahan could have kept a low profile and enjoyed relative freedom while serving the rest of his time. But being a Shaman, he can't help himself. Soon he's a clan leader, taking 50 of the continent's top players to claim the secrets of the Dark Forest.

I have over 300 audible titles and I have to say that the narration and performance of this book is one of the best I've heard. It's a compelling universe with a great story and awesome characters. I can't wait for a sequel.

The Best performed audio book I've heard.

Again this book needs to be read in order and is a good continuation of the story line. Characters are levelling up and it is good to see that whilst they need to level it is not poorly done. The author manages to stop it being too power levelly but equally allows development at a pace. Character story and world development continues to be really good and I like the development more and more. Roll on the next book.

Story continues to grow well

Good continuation of the series.If you like Ready Player One, then read this as it is better. Top notch narrator as well.

Better than Ready Player One

Guy pretty much saves the game world by creating a way to fight the new invulnerable enemy shadows and the emperor and dark lord still want to punish him? This series is awesome for crafting and combat etc. But I seriously want to punch the higher ups of the empire in the face!
