À propos de cet audio

The game real heroes are dying to play....

When an invitation to try a cutting-edge game promising darkly sensual adventure drops in Abram's lap, it's an offer he can't refuse. After all, as an agoraphobe who never leaves his apartment, his social life is defined by, and limited to, games.

Yet an interesting premise quickly shows its dark side as his mind is filled with memories of unspeakable torment, forcing him to rely on his meta-knowledge just to stay sane. The game is like nothing he's ever played: It has no tutorial, no HUD, no levels, no experience system, no respawns, and no mercy.

Surviving against all expectation, battered by memories of a woman he can't help but hate, Abram's only hope for survival is given to him by a chance encounter with Angrboda, the legendary mother of Fenrir. In her arms, he learns that only through sensual exchange can he advance, and with her support he sets his sights on power, rulership, and a harem of mythical, or murderous, women.

Celestine is a world of monsters. The strong rule the weak, trust is in short supply, and the only real options for the true survivor are to lay it or slay it. Thank goodness it's only a game.

Warning: This book does not pan to waving curtains and fade to black. Those uninterested or under the age of 18 are strongly warned of explicit content.

Initially I thought that this book was just a throwaway credit purchase. The basic premise was quite weak, the game elements overdone. Except that wasn't what happened at all. The fancy game elements I expected to be prevalent and overdone were missing, or just gone. The initial premise was inverted into a twisted miasma of the protagonists insanity. Cebelius took a weak plot and wrote it into a compelling narrative that was nearly impossible to stop listening to. The man character is not a paragon of righteousness, or a bastion of justice. He's written quite believably as an extremely flawed and damaged individual whose most inhuman acts are both believable in their execution and incredibly well written.
It was an unexpected gem that I immediately sought the sequel to.

One of the best NSFW books I've ever listened to

This review is doing two things at once. It's a review of Forsaken as a standalone book, but it's also a review of The Mountain King saga as it currently exists, which at the time of writing is just two books. Just know that whatever weaknesses Forsaken has, Hamartia more than makes up for them and the Mountain King Saga is shaping up to be one of my favourite fantasy series ever. It's honestly a shame this is in the Monster Girl Harem genre because I think that Cebelius is an incredibly engaging and inventive writer and I worry that his stories will be pigeon holed. He writes interesting, morally conflicted protagonists, and his decision to introduce a serious limitation in both this series and TAP is stroke of genius. Beyond the protagonists, the supporting casts are diverse, three dimensional, and a delight to spend time with.

Forsaken is a good book, but it's not great. It takes place contemporaneously with the latter part of The Celestine Chronicles after finishing Forsaken I was worried that the characters from Celestine Chronicles would only be brought for fan service. The opening is also very much like Mask of the Template.

Abram is much more relatable to me than Terry. Surprising no one, I have much more in common with an agorophobic IT nerd that spends his free time browsing Wikipedia and teaching himself random hobbies than an aspiring MMA fighter.

Suffice to say that if you liked Celestine Chronicles odds are you'll like The Mountain King Saga. Celestine is one of the coolest settings for a fantasy series I've personally heard of and I was delighted to jump back in to that world. If you find Forsaken lacking, read Hamartia. The Mountain King Saga is shaping up to be epic and after reading Hamartia, I think Mountain King is a perfect follow up to Celestine Chronicles. There were parts in Hamartia where I was listening to a spicy scene and I was actually wishing it would end faster so I could get back to the plot. Seriously.

Also if you read this Cebelius, Mix (Sp?) is probably my favourite character you've written and I'd love to have a short story from her perspective.

More time in Celestine
