Early Access

Koyesta Online, Book 1

By: John Cressman, Paige Fallbright

Narrated by: J.S. Arquin

It started as just a game for Madison, but now, the entire virtual world may hinge on her decisions!

Madison only joined the Koyesta Online's early access because her brother begged her. Of course, the fact that they're awarding brand-new cryptocurrency to the early players for in-game actions might have something to do with it too. Thrust inside the world's most immersive fantasy VRMMORPG, Madison, her brother, and two cousins find themselves in some backwater little town, far away from other players and the main action of the game.

Determined to make the most of it, they set out on a series of adventures and stumble upon hidden ruins and a secret epic quest capable of reshaping the face of the game before it's even been officially released.

Join a dragon girl, a barbarian, an elf druid, and a beastmaster with a big cat named Buddy as they explore the boundless world of Koyetsa Online, battle monsters of all shapes and sizes, and find out whether they have what it takes to become true epic heroes.

repeat and

Narration was done well the story was interesting tended to cover the same subjects over and over again again

good young adult novel!

Good story and narration!

this is a fun game lit book would be a great introduction for children or teens that you would like to introduce to the gamelit genre.

doesn't really have any cussing or adult situations.

the end hooked me

I won't lie I was having issues with this book but in the end I was hooked.

with an awesome world and a great game gimmick I really enjoyed.

Also tons of EverQuest references and I'll admit I'm a sucker for that.

good with small issues

1. why the heck didnt she use her breath weapon or wings more? supposed to be a dragon kin. dies to the spider and could have used the breath weapon. this just makes the character seem dumb

2. way. too. much. combat log as the battle. ug. i want to gouge my ears. the number of times ive skipped forward to avoid the annoying system log messages. theyre cool in moderation but shouldnt be a replacement for story telling. and yes the combat scenes in the abduction cycle were worse and more tedious. we dont need every blow or every damage count. sprinkle it in for effect and fun. right now its horrible.

Better as just a book

Good story but with the way it's written this would be so much better as just a book, as an audiobook the combat is disjointed as you're forced to hear the damage which make it sound like a turned based game, which is very disappointed if it is the case. Story is good, narrator is good, it's just awkward as an audiobook, maybe more for D&D oriented listeners?
