Aaron Hope finds himself in a tournament that he's been trying out for for a long time. Not only is he in it, but he's in the finalist rounds! He can't believe his luck. After the tournament before the final round, he is drugged and sent to an alternate reality where he's to defeat game bosses and retrieve soul stones. He can't get back to his body until he defeats the game. Can he do it or is he doomed to stay in the game forever?
I listened to this audio book with my boyfriend. We both loved it! He's a gamer so he got more of a grasp on certain things than I did, but as a former gamer myself I did understand and love most of it. I kept drawing parallels to a game I used to play called Conquer. Not enough to assume it's from that game, but enough to fully picture the game at hand. I loved it and can't wait to read the next!
The narrator did a great job as well. He gave each character their own personality. It was pretty amazing. It was kind of obvious that he had a lot of fun performing for the book. I really hope that he is the one that narrates the second book honestly. It will be weird without him as narrator. I guess we'll find out when we cross that road!
I fully recommend this book! While it's more directed at the gamer world, I think many people could find enjoyment out of it. The characters are witty and funny. There's action and fighting in it. It's pretty amazing. I loved it. I can't wait to read the rest, and I can't wait to read other books by this author!
