Acerca de esta escucha
Scrappy but small, Kirrin gets beat up. A lot. So, when he hides from the local bullies in a powerful man's carriage, he's inadvertently transported to a vast rural estate. Far from home and hungry, Kirrin is caught stealing from the kitchen and fears the worst.
But the So'har Hak'kar is impressed with Kirrin's tenacity and quick wit. Instead of having him criminally punished, the great ruler sentences Kirrin to serve him while learning to fight, move with stealth, and solve intellectual puzzles.
Unfortunately, Kirrin doesn't realize he's being trained as the lord's personal assassin until he accidentally kills his first victim. Now, Kirrin's family is at risk. His life is at risk. He struggles with who he's becoming. After all, he's living a life on borrowed luck. But borrowed luck never lasts.

So he was fairly surprised to wake up in the back of a moving wagon with a couple of adventurers. Turns out that Rowan had been given something most street rats can only dream of—a second chance.

Hiral is the Everfail, the weakest person on the flying island of Fallen Reach. He trains harder than any warrior. Studies longer than any scholar. But all his people are born with magic powered by the sun, flowing through tattoos on their bodies. Despite having enormous energy within, Hiral is the only one who can’t channel it; his hard work is worth nothing. Until it isn’t. In a moment of danger, Hiral unlocks an achievement with a special instruction: Access a Dungeon to receive a Class-Specific Reward.

Accidentally murdered by a cleric in another universe during a botched resurrection, Arnold, a semi-pro gamer, wakes upon an altar to find himself incarnated into the overweight body of a farmer who could have been his fatter twin. He’s not the hero. He’s not the villain. He’s certainly not the chosen one who is there to save the world. He’s a clerical error. It could be a bad joke, but apparently, it happens so often that they have a standard procedure for returning you.

Due to unusual circumstances, Randidly starts in an isolated dungeon far beyond his level, forced to rely on the mysterious Traveler Shal in order to learn and survive with the dangerous new status quo for his world. But survive he does, only to leave the dungeon and discover that while he experienced several hellish months in the dungeon, only half a day passed on Earth. Randidly's capabilities are now more than enough to help build a small enclave of survivors, but that doesn't mean balancing his sense of responsibility against the plots of an unfriendly town will be easy.

The orphaned Elsie Camden learned as a girl that there were two kinds of wizards in the world: those who pay for the power to cast spells and those, like her, born with the ability to break them. But as an unlicensed magic user, her gift is a crime. Commissioned by an underground group known as the Cowls, Elsie uses her spellbreaking to push back against the aristocrats and help the common man. Elite magic user Bacchus Kelsey is one elusive spell away from his mastership when he catches Elsie breaking an enchantment. To protect her secret, Elsie strikes a bargain.

Arthur lives with his father, a fallen but proud former noble, in Border Village #49, along with the other good folks condemned to toil in service to the Baron. But Arthur has an edge: a stolen heart card that secretly fell into his possession, thanks to a dragon. It’s a priceless source of power for the Baron and the tyrant will kill to get it back. Invaluable, too, to a young man of spellcasting ambitions.

All of this was because of the dragon stone necklace I scavenged from that dead mage. I knew it was magic when I saw it. Well, it was and it wasn’t. Dragon stone, they call it, but what it actually is, is a dragon’s egg. When I touched it, I felt the need to put it around my neck for safekeeping. When I did, the necklace embedded itself inside my skin, making me the new dragon’s envoy. It has since been my duty to protect the egg until she’s ready to hatch. How do I know the egg is a she? Easy, she talks to me and is helping me to bring out my natural magic talents.

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

But that’s all put on hold when he enters his abuela’s house and somehow ends up stepping into a world unlike anything he’s ever known, filled with fantastical meta-humans; walking, talking devils; and other creatures one usually needs some serious pharmaceuticals to see.

You'll need to borrow another cuppa luck
This is a rather strange book to review. There are a lot of things good about it, and several things that were off.
First, the main character is extremely naive for being 17 years old. I get that he is runty and has no friends, but he is not street hardened in any way and is completely clueless to other people's machinations. I mean utterly unaware. I found it hard to believe that he never got any smarter running and hiding from his tormentors.
Secondly, this is very much a building the character kind of book. There quite literally is no pay off at the end of the book. No big scene, no real battle, just a he finally learned a lesson, albeit way to late for him to do anything. Instead, the author opts to show you how the protagonist gets his skills. Oh, and the guy seems to take a shower every five seconds. Seriously. Every paragraph practically starts with I had to shower before I met Ha'Kar, or I got done and took a third shower. It comes off like a weird writing fetish and it truly madly and deeply annoyed me.
The end of the book was about as anti-climatic as you could get and still have an ending. There is a lot of set up, so I imagine there will be some pay off in the next book. I would have happily endured the marathon training session if the MC had just learned something more than what was being taught to him, and when he commited his crime I lost all sympathy for him when he rectified the situation. He went from being a naive kid to a stone cold monster in three seconds. If he was going to go that route there should have been hints of it in his personality earlier. Sure, he'd fly into a rage if someone he cared about was hurt, but what he did was in a cold sober state of mind, and the way he almost instantly decided to keep away from his child shows that he is immoral.
Oh, and I want to say I am not against books that show you how a character grows in his or her skills. I loved the Gord the Rogue series by gary Gygax, which is just him showing you how Gord learned to pick lock or knife fight. That had a payoff. This book really doesn't.
In all honesty, I did not hate the book. I enjoyed it for the most part. I did think the narration was excellent. But it just had flaws. I know I will not be getting the next book when it hits Audible. I am content to have lived through this. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go take a shower.

A departure from the kind of stories TJ Muir usually writes.
I don't like to spoil anything with reviews so I'll be vague.
TJ Muir is known for uplifting and optimistic fantasy with a strong moral and Christian themes. This book is a slight departure from what I expected based on past experiences. It's darker and the character ark of the protagonist seems to lead deeper into darkness with every step.

Its odd, a little rough
Wish I could give a half star more. This is not my usual 3 star book, it is also not one of my 4/5 star books. Since I rarely give out 5 stars, I guess its my own fault. The premise and plot have some very intriguing aspects...but somewhere along the lines, it just didn't grab and hold my attention. The flow between scenes felt broken, the scenes felt a little forced, and the characters all feel like they are hiding something.
I wasn't thrilled with the performance. It could have been better.
I am not sure if this is an ok starter to a very good series or just bleh. With that in mind, your personal mileage may vary on this one. I think I would get book 2, just to see where it goes.
