The main character is evolving nicely, but I'd love to see some more deeper relationships evolve for him. Also, the author Aleron Kong, really churns out the novels, so as a reader, you have confidence it won't be years in between releases. Crossing my fingers that by the 8th book, ebook and audible version will release simultaneously. Very much looking forward to the rest of the series coming to audible and the 7th book, which is coming out soon. Read the books first as e-books and now I'm going back and listening to them as audio.


As one of the best male narrators in the game, I honestly couldn't have been happier with anyone else's performance. Nick Podehl was an AMAZING choice as narrator. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?Ībsolutely! Sadly, I had to sleep in the middle, but the book had engrossed me so completely, I actually DREAMED of the characters. And then, he answers them! He doesn't keep us starved for more, he is generous and mindful enough to give the reader exactly what they want and in a timely manner. The author managed to either anticipate questions the reader will have, or writes so well, he leads you to ask the questions he wants in the first place. You've been replaced in my audiobook library as most anticipated! I haven't been so excited for a series since The Wheel of Time was still being written. I'll be listening to each and every one the same day they are released. In preperation, I've already set aside enough credits at Audible to purchase all the books in the series once they are released. This book made me fall in love with the LitRPG genre all over again.

I don't know exactly how the author managed to create an ending that felt like an ending at the time, but also now barely feels like a brief pause in such an engrossing story.Ībsolutely. And yet, the first book ended in a way that I remember being satisfied and that the book was over. So engrossed in the story, and so completely enamored with it, I honestly couldn't tell you know where the end of the first book left off and this one began. It blended so seemlessly with the first book that I didn't really feel like it was a sequal, but a new episode in a miniseries with the same overarching story. Would you consider the audio edition of The Land: Forging to be better than the print version?
