I was given a free code for this audio book. I was in two minds if i should leave a review or not, as it is not a good book in my opinion.
This is a LitRPG book, which in my mind is a book that has RPG elements within it. Some subtle, some more obvious, but all manage to merge the storytelling with the genre.
Battle Master is essentially a computer game walk through with a 'splattering; of a story. Forget any build up, in the first chapter we know what is going on. In the second, he is cool with it and selects his character. Then it is just a number of encounters from a 'starting' zone in a MMORPG. They have inventory, which appear and disappear like a computer game.
Yes, i know the whole thing was to look like that, but it was put together poorly. I had no attachment to any character (can not tell you the name of the main characters, and it has been less than a day since i finished).
This will suit some people, but not me, and i will not continue with it.
