I was skeptical

This is Isekai done right.

There’s very little brought from earth or pop references. We delve into a new world with a mc that is believable.

It’s a slow progression but it’s never boring and all the characters feel distinct and well written.

There’s some dark moments that make the pleasant island vibe seem more realistic.

Childhood

This first book covers the reincarnation though to the first coming of age ceremony and managed to be pretty interesting without a big mystery or fighting

Exceptional Story great narration

The story was well written it grabbed my attention and and was professionally edited and just a good job overall I really enjoyed the story.

I love ❤ Kai's story! Get the book because I sure you will too...

I didn't know anything about the book other than the fact that I liked the cover and that Aethon published the book. Aethon has found and published a plethora of indie authors resulting in a lot of dynamite books to read. In other words I trust 'em! And Ohhhh boy, oh howdy Elydes a New Dawn was grrreat! It wasn't long after I started reading that I realized that I was totally captivated by the storyline! The book's reminiscent of a slice-of-life adventure only more so. As we follow Matt who's Isekaied and transformed into Kai with his birth in the world, where his life starts all over again... With a system that has magic and monsters and power-ups leading to a fast-paced story and Kai finds himself mentality excelling in Elydes! Especially when he's finally apprenticed with a mage, an apothecary, and their what? Butler/Enforcer? no that's not quite right either...
So yeah you should definitely grab the book, better yet get the audio. Because even though I had never heard Ryan H Reid before, I discovered that he gives the book he's reading while adding a pinch of flavor to his wonderfully nuanced performance.

I like it.

Not quite great but at least it actually makes me care about the world and the people in it which is not a given with audible book these days.

An amazing book.

Only critique I have, is that the mc, tends to stew in his dilemmas a bit too long, for a 17 year old reincarnated.

A fun story

The main character is fun to follow and shake your head at his antics. Sometimes he's a bit more childish than I would expect, but overall an enjoyable character. The world building has many unexplored threads that are pretty exciting. The side characters all have their own flavor. Overall, an enjoyable read

Nice new entry

This was a really interesting story and did a fantastic job seeming fresh. The story has action of a different sort and you will not have battles galore. Honestly I think 1 real fight the whole book. But I wasn’t bored and still felt really engaged.

Wasn’t expecting much but was wrong

I was pleasantly surprised that this book was pretty good. There were times it got kinda doll but other times it was pretty good and kept me entertained and made me want to know what’s gonna happen next I recommend this book and hope there will be a book too.

Interesting slow burn

Keeps you interested throughout the story, but definitely has childish MC. Kind of wish that wasn't the case. Other than that it's not that bad, and I'll purchase the next one.
