Follow an unfortunate soul who has been thrown into a fantasy world with nothing. He is quickly railroaded into joining the Legion and has to develop under harsh conditions while slowly discovering his potential power.

This story has light LitRPG elements with a stat and magic advancement system. The MC is not overpowered and experiences the pain of growth as he tries to find a place in the strange new world while staying alive. Neither are coming easy to him as his Legion Company is constantly in harm's way.

I grew up on Tolkien but never had any interest in D&D. Having said that I enjoy a good sword and sorcery romp as much as the next GoT fan boy. I got this book via the audible algo who offered it to me either free or on a killer deal…their thinking being “get him hooked and he’ll buy the series” and they were correct! At first I thought…oh no another nerdy YA D&D slog with endless lists of hit points and spells…and there’s some of that early on but once it gets going the tone improves and it becomes and enjoyable engaging romp. The magical rules make a kind of sense. And the story telling is brisk and engaging. Couple of things I really appreciate are virtually no romantic plot and our hero isn’t the annoying, anguished weakling…no he’s into his surprising new world and wields his powers in a fun way. The narrator is top notch and pulls of female characters much better than most. I’d certainly recommend it to any fan of Tolkien, George RR or Le Guin

Shockingly good

It’s a good book nice to get away from the more anime style of reincarnation book style really a good one keeps you in the moment wanting to know what is going to happen next
