Saintess Summons Skeletons: Book 1

A Holy Necromancy LitRPG

By: Mornn

Narrated by: Hannah Schooner

She wanted to be a Necromancer, but awakened as a Saint! Somehow her summoned heroes are all undead?

How will the church react when their Saintess summons a skeleton in place of a mighty hero? Sofia isn’t too keen on finding out.

In this world, Gods choose [Saints], and [Saints] summon [Heroes] from other worlds; everyone knows that. But Sofia had a thing for bones ever since she was a child; there’s only one [Class] she wants: [Necromancer]! When, by the whims of fate, she gets both classes at the same time, the system breaks.

Two classes? That isn’t allowed!

It cannot be! The system’s administrators would not let it go… If only they were still there.

But they were not, and it was too late. Sofia saw an opportunity to abuse a loophole in the system, and she is just the kind of person who would try to stick her whole arm into said loophole if she could if only to see what happens.

So, what has the system, running by itself with its mysterious creator missing, done to mend the error? The two classes fused into one.

Sofia’s skills from the two classes were broken and mashed together. [Holy Light]? [Raise Skeleton]? What she receives is [Holy Skeleton] instead. But can she escape the Church’s grasp with her newfound powers, or is she destined to forever but some God’s pawn?

Follow Sofia as she unknowingly gets tangled in power struggles far beyond what she had bargained for.

With millions of views and thousands of followers, this was one of the most popular female-led web serials of 2023. Be ready for a wild ride as you experience the reworked and improved version of Sofia's Skeletal Shenanigans!

Break a leg, skeleton!

Starts off strong

I really liked the premise and it starts off really strong. This is a really long book which is usually a good thing but I slowly checked out after chapter 59. Up until then I felt like there was an overarching urgency to the story and world building along with characters to explore. But after chapter 59 the rest of the book is pretty much the main character and party (which is really just one person) alone leveling up and not really having any interaction with other characters.

I think the hardest part for me was when they go to one dungeon realize they can’t really do anything there. Go back try to fight something they can’t defeat. Then go back to another dungeon that they already did and was devoid of characters originally and find it again devoid of characters still. It didn’t really feel like it was going anywhere at that point. They were still leveling up and unlocking skills tho. So if you enjoy that it might keep your attention more than it did mine. The first part was good enough for me to still give it a 4/5.

Solid story with a bit of cheek

good story lot of moving parts they hint at but I'm looking to uncover more as the series progresses. lots of ways this story can go, not pigeon holes into anything and points out a lot of things that happen in the little/Isekai genre without being completely melodramatic and depressed for chapters. keep up the good work. Narration is solid only wish you had stat sheet audio chapters to skip although it's a lot easier than most litrpgs

It's a decently written book

The reader gets so quiet at times and the chapter beginnings are so loud that it makes it hard to listen to without turning the volume app-and-down all the time. The book is a decent book. You're able to listen to it, put it down and forget about it, then come back to it. It's not what I'd call a great book. But it's an all right book.

The quality of both the story and the speaker are amazing!

The quality of both the story and the speaker are amazing! The title is all that needs to be said.

Too much swallowing…

I enjoyed the writing, although the main character did have an annoying habit thinking to themselves a bit too much/too repetitively. Overall though the book was solid.

My issue is with the narrator. I will be avoiding any books read by her in the future. There was so much audible swallowing. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to just re-record a line if you needed to swallow halfway though.
