Great story, but not a fan of the newly introduced sound effects

One of the most engaging and entertaining LitRPG series out there. This book is the first to include sound effects as well as the usual voices. I didn't like the sound effects, I felt a lot of them were jarring or impaired the imagination, or they didn't sound quite right. I feel they detracted from the story. (eg why do we need the sound of a helmet being put onto a table??)

I've read a few LitRPG novels now and this is one of my favourites. Well crafted story, palpable moments of horror and sadness. The character status reports are well placed and interesting, it's great to watch the main character's stats progress. Tyron is definitely likeable as as main character as well. Love Dove too, of course! I can't wait to listen to the next book, and I really hope more are coming after it.

It did take a few chapters to get going, but those chapters are there for good reason and I appreciated the detail. (too many books now are lacking in backstory) The plot device is good and characters like the Macaulay brothers and the Bone Taker will stay with me. (though do think Sixsmith was missed in the latter part, for reasons, but..) The Unhappy Medium is an entertaining listen and the voices are great. I just wish there were more adventures to listen to!

Narrator too annoying

So very sorry, I gave it a whole hour because I enjoyed the author's other works but the narrator is just awful. Reminds me too much of an unpleasant English MP, but even more plummy and unrealistic in speech than him. Posh English characters don't have to speak like that. Not the kind of voice I want to hear narrating a story before sleep.
