Publisher's Summary

Maximilian Storm has embraced his new life as a Battleborne. Reincarnated on a strange world in a powerful chimera body, he has gathered friends, made enemies, and developed wondrous new magical and physical abilities. He’s even discovered that a couple of his men, Smitty and Dylan, have chosen to join him on this world.

Max is on a mission to secure and expand his newly conquered kingdom, Stormhaven. But War Chief An’zalor wants his mine back. When he sends a small army of orcs to capture it, Max’s party, along with his dwarven and orc allies, must help him defend his new territory.

An epic quest is discovered, sending Max and his core party into the wilds to track down and retrieve a powerful artifact. New friends are discovered, and new challenges met along the way. When Max ventures off on his own, he discovers a lost territory, and an ancient dwarven secret that may change the lives of everyone. A secret that might also end his own life, and his reign.

Wanting more

Such an amazing story!! I love that the stat sheets are not repeated constantly. And anytime a female character speaks, it’s actually a female narrator speaking the part!! That’s makes a huge difference!!! I can’t wait to dive into book 3!! I recommend this book to anyone who likes to have a good chuckle and will have you pumping your fist with each victory!!!

solid series

solid books, I enjoy the fact that there is two narrators. Instead of having them to voice a male and female they have an a person for both instead of a deep voice doing a woman's voice

Can't stand narrators voice

Listened to about 5 mins. Just can't get past the narrators voice, every word is pronounced the exact same. Might just end up reading this one instead.

time to bring the wrack and ruin to the enemy

more World building. more team members are found. and more exploration and hilarity ensues. Max still has a lot to learn and a lot of this book continues that theme. there is never a really dull moment so that the listener can continue to be enraptured by the story. cast and crew are great and are easily understandable. I find for the specific character type that Max is the main voice actor does a great job. don't listen to the complaints people. take a listen for yourself.
I have gone through book one and book two probably about four or five times. I am as patiently as I can waiting for book three. along with many other works by this author.

Both a hit and a miss

So protag is supposed to be an experienced soldier used to leading an elite squad of mercs yet he doesn't send scouts when the orc army takes longer than expected to show up and is constantly making errors I don't believe he should. A better example of good military conduct in a series is the ten realms series. All together besides the protag dumb ass mistakes I believe the book is great. Don't give two fucks about the villain tho

jarring and unessesary

skipping to the antagonist every other chapter is completely useless and utterly: at least for myself, jarring and unessesary. you could literally put out (1.5, 2.5, 3.5 etc) and use that for the villain so to speak. as of right now I'm completely uninterested in his story. to me I couldn't really care what he's going through since he's not "in the game" yet at least it would make sense to do that until they come in contact with one another. it would give the author a bit if a break too. best example is. "the good guys"series & "the bad guys" series. or Dakota krout's Artorian & Dungeon books. there's loads of reasons to do something like this.
1. you can focus on and create a more in-depth character.
2. again, it could give the author a bit of a break and have it be a bit refreshing.
3. people who are uninterested in the antagonist's story or at least a more in-depth story before say, a merging, could then opt out of purchasing content.
4. possibly give more to your readers in the form of lesser wait times between publishing.

loads of reasons.

it's just upsetting have to keep tapping the skip 30s button and sadly watching the listening time go down and down whilst you're enjoying the book.

A satisfying story that leaves you wanting more

The book is not perfect by any means. The story is kind of all over the place, but there is something about the characters’ triumph that is so classically satisfying that it just makes me happy.
