About this listen

Reeve SilverStar: War Mage, Convict, Slave. A survivor of some of the most heinous and brutal fighting ever conducted on his world.

He finally escaped the cycle of war and death only to find himself kidnapped, taken to a new universe where nothing makes sense. A world where nothing is familiar and insane robots, killer AI, and otherworldly beings he can hardly comprehend are the norm.

He must learn to survive these constant threats to his very survival, all the while learning that these new experiences are changing him, molding him into something new...something extraordinary.

Reeve must go through desolate space stations, massive fleet battles, and covert operations to gathers those who find themselves lost and abandoned, while forging a new company to fight back against their would-be oppressors...whether they be mortal or divine. Follow the Mercenary Mage as he fights to control a universe and discovers the penultimate truth of reality itself. The Gods are but the heralds of the Darkness to come.

The Mercenary Mage Trilogy takes place within the Sundered Divnity Universe.

While I did enjoy the first two books they weren’t great either. The character interactions were enjoyable for a while however developing beyond the personality first present and growth were quite lacking. A big part of this was the time skipping several large chunks and glossing over smaller interactions to always keep the big picture events in the forefront. While it does work with this style of book it left something to be desired.
While I am biased towards slower reading styles, the narration was kept at a high pace for too much of the book. A few moments for dramatic effect, or to just let the information sink in during important moments would go a long way.

If the premise interest you I encourage you to try the book. I don’t know if I will end up recommending his book to friends but there are definitely parts that will stay with me.

Much happening, speedy pacing.

main character is over powered and honestly the story is a mess.
This book is a nerds fever dream, long winded and really predictable.
every issue is overcome immediately by the main character.

if you like saving the universe, overpowered characters and pointless characters you'll like this.

oh and the dialogue is absolutely rubbish.

decent idea bad execution
