Reborn a Hero: Asher Merrick

Reborn a Hero, Book 1

Dying was only the start of Asher's life. He would be Reborn a Hero.

Asher Merrick never thought a night out with his college friend would cost him his life. Gathos, God of the Lost, has granted him an opportunity—a second chance he doesn't intend to waste.

Thrust into a magical world of dragons and danger, swords and sorcery, might and magic, Asher Merrick is ready to prove himself. He's ready to prove that the extraordinary power he received will unlock his potential and help his powerful and beautiful new allies.

Will this power be enough to help him and his new companions solve the mystery in Naled's underbelly? Can he and the Red Breaker guild prevent another incursion of undead from destroying the port city? And will Asher be able to protect those that he holds most dear to him?

Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: he's just getting started.

Intended for mature listeners.

don't waste your money

poorly written, don't waste your time. Inconsistent characters and Asher is a beta that does not fit in this type of story.

Good start

The book is a slow burn on our mc and is abilities. Also plot was good with some twists. The characters are great and unique. Looks like book 2 could be great, but with no weird cliffhangers it ended nicely with many possible directions.
The narrators did an excellent job and is an easy listen.

that ending tho

it was pretty alright until the last fight where they started deus ex machina'ing to the max, it really felt awful,inconsistent and beyond rushed.
but as i said, pretty alright for a first book, but the lack of monster fights for a fantasy setting was pretty weird, felt mundane.

So close but a few misses

First off, the narrators were great! I gave them 5 stars.
The basics of the story were also fun and inventive. The 'spice' was super duper cringe in this book. It didn't flow with the story and were annoying interruptions to the story. I'm happy the MC wasn't a standard Isekai perma-virgin but it wasn't a plus.
The magic and battle system were interesting and the end of the book hinted at a much large system for the MC. I'd give a book 2 a chance, but i'll just FFWD the 'spice.'

Great book.

I really enjoyed this book and will be looking forward to more. I will also be keeping an eye out for more by the same author.
