I thought the first book solo when it was a single narrator and never went beyond that because it wasn't really good. in time though they redid it with a dual narration team and I was shocked to see that the series had continued on as long as it has. that said I decided to go ahead and give it a second shot and honestly these days I probably would have continued on past that first book if I had been a Kindle unlimited member or subscriber I guess you would call it. now that I'm at the end of this publisher pack I am interested in continuing the series. it is the same male narrator they've simply added the lady in as far as I can tell. I am familiar with her past performances and I've never seen her deliver less than a fantastic job.

I was looking for something light but I'm not sure that this is what I had in mind. I honestly don't even remember when I picked up this book so it must have been a part of some sort of sale. I believe that it is a trilogy and the publishing company has a habit of releasing it as an Omnibus. so you might want to hold off and get a good deal. I remember picking up Tomb Raider for like $5 on Steam and was super satisfied with that purchase. I think I paid full price for the sequel and it definitely affected my opinion. the narrator did an okay job.

partial spoiler warning because it was telegraphed. After having read this entry I'm wondering whether or not the author is what's called a discovery writer. It would explain some of the decisions made when telling the story. I did not like the motivations for the lady forerunners. I didn't like how one of them died and I really hated how the other one died. It's no secret that one was a traitor and the other was a zealot. But for my point of view the author didn't put in enough work for me to hate the characters enough to justify the way their story thread came to an end. I like the bunny Warriors and the war between the various systems. I really like the interludes. They show up at the right time and I enjoy the different perspectives from the other characters. I can't finish the review without mentioning the Fantastic performance from the narrator. lastly a round of applause for everybody who had a hand in bringing the story to us, the audiobook listeners.

when it comes to a sequel and basically looking for everything that made the last one worth listening to and then some. I've read some of this authors past works and it seems to drop off in quality as the series progresses. there's a female character killed off in this book for which I did not like how the author went about it and the White House scene was stupid to me. I do like our characters interactions with his off-world team and the building of an on world team. since early on I figured that there would be some kind of event that would allow Earth to pull into the number one slot. that hasn't happened and there's no guarantee that it will but there's a setup enough that the author may be going in that direction. we'll see in the next installment. lastly I want to give a round of applause to the narrator who has delivered yet another fantastic performance. really well done to everybody who had a hand and bringing this book to the audio audience.

in my experience these system stories have variable times between when the apocalypse starts, but it usually doesn't take too long before we get there. I snuck a peek ahead and was surprised to learn that the first five books in the series are pre-apocalypse. that's the longest that I've ever seen for such a story. I am wondering if the author is going to do five before and five after. with that sneak peek changing my perception of the series I figured that I had a reasonable idea of how the following books would unfold to that point. as you can tell by the title of this review I was wrong. I do not want to risk spoiling anything for anyone, but the very last scene has our main characters sister freshly showered screaming her head off when she spots a Roswell Gray peering through her window.

this is not the first series that I have read or listened to by this author. he does connected universes in case there's no warning that you notice when checking out this book. I didn't see one and it bit me in the back side as I was rolling in towards the ending of Crystal core which was notated at the end of the book as being connected to Welcome to the universe and dragon sorcerers. potentially very cool if you love everything that an author writes but if you don't or deliberately skip a series because it didn't sound interesting to you only to them find out that is connected universe that just might affect the review. as a side note I've come across an author relatively recently who is amazing at knocking out the first couple books of a series and then there can seem to land the ending. this author reminds me of that fellow, but to a lesser degree. it's more that because of the connected universe the endings are watered down if you haven't already been reading the other series. with The Upfront warning out of the way, we'll move on to the fact that the story setting starts before the Apocalypse takes place when the system is introduced. there are multiple worlds competing to see who gets screwed over the least. each world has its own Heroes and one of them is hunting the others. the uncle is chosen as one of these Heroes and is then murdered. his position was supposed to go to the father who unfortunately dies of cancer before he can take up the mantle. this brings us to our hero of the series who is a 22-year-old kid looking out for his mother and sister as he's dealing with the death of his father and preparing to go to college. time is short before the apocalypse starts and our hero is well behind his fellow Heroes of Earth. now it's up to him to adapt or die in his bid to do his part to save Humanity.

I do my best to separate a personal taste from the quality of the work when I choose to leave a review. the writing is solid all the way around and the narrator delivered a fantastic performance. that said I absolutely hate Cliffhangers. it seems to me that the author is going to be finishing off each book with a cliffhanger. this really is only a problem the first time reading a series assuming that it's not a completed series. fortunately for me at the time I'm leaving this review the first 11 books are already out in ebook form. I'm afraid I didn't pay attention to how many of them have received the audio treatment. I will say that the ebooks are not a part of the Kindle unlimited program and the price of the ebooks continues to increase as the series progresses.

a phenomenal performance delivered by the narrator. first class writing all around. our story follows a king Reborn. he has overpowered abilities in this new world. an orphan in his last life he now has a family and is hell-bent on protecting them from what may come.

I do Endeavor to separate the quality of the work for my personal taste. the narrator is a fantastic performer and has delivered in this entry. the author consistently delivers quality work and this entry is no exception. personally the story steps outside of what I am normally interested in. the author was interested in returning to storytelling where the characters are dealing with a significant amount of trauma. there is quite a bit of therapy and coping mechanisms when it comes to the characters as they develop and try to return to some level of normalcy. at times I find it cringy. the author has previously stated that there will be three people in the Romantic relationship. there are areas where the three are interacting with each other, but it still felt a little bit more like two main characters and a bunch of supporting. we'll see what happens in the next entry because even though it's not exactly to my taste I did ultimately enjoy the book.

write out front I'll just say that for anybody reading this review, this is an easy recommend for me to you. this is my all-time favorite series from this author. the narrator delivers Time After Time a fantastic performance. things are definitely heating up in this entry and our main character is starting to recover memories once lost to him. we'll get a couple of hints as to where the next ladies might come from and unfortunately say goodbye to a beloved character. there's battle and political intrigue aplenty and I can't wait for the next book in the series to drop. a round of applause for everyone who had a hand in bringing this story to us, the audiobook listeners.
