The Mage of Shimmer Mountain

LitRPG Book 1: Crafting Magics

By: Adam Sampson

Narrated by: Ronnie Rowlands

The day after Hugo gains access to magic, his train explodes.

Unknown magic flings him back in time, and he narrowly avoids death this time. While he is trying to unravel the mystery of this unexpected second chance, life goes on. His new gifts lead him to the magic academy. At the school, he will face off against noble students who don’t want him to be there, teachers who expect him to already know everything, and literal monsters that want to kill him.

To survive and thrive, he will need weapons, friends, and a healthy danger sense. But first, he has to pick which magic domain suits him best.

Fun

Nice written book with good pace to the story. Equivalent to a not so privileged individual attending a prestigious school.

Phenomenal Series Start

Adam Sampson is a new author to me so seeing a new author with this type of story excites me. This book was great from the beginning to the end. The time loop aspect along with the cultivation and LITRPG elements makes this a book and series I think fans of the genre wont be able to get enough of. I certainly cant wait for the next book in the series.

Ronnie Rowlands gives a wonderful narration performance that kept me engaged in the book from page one until the end.

That was awesome!

I loved listening to this book from start to finish. The last 10 seconds left me wanting more! Highly recommended!

Takes a little while to get into the story.

This one took me a little while to get into partially because to the single narration and mostly because it takes a while to setup. This is not run of the mill fantasy/litrpg story line. There's same complicated maneuvering and politics that had to be established. Not to mention all the different races and their politics, and quirks. It could have been better served by dual narrators, but that's just my preference. Really good story regardless and I'm looking forward to the next in series. That ending left me wanting more.

I received a free code for this audiobook in exchange for an early and honest review. I totally failed on the early part.
