Publisher's summary

Jace, a backcountry ranger assigned to patrol the wilderness of North America, was hiking when abruptly he was somewhere…else. Wind battered his thinly clothed body, and the salt air from crashing waves immediately soaked him to the bone. Nothing looked familiar. And then the strange game messages started appearing in his vision.

With no explanation for how he arrived here, Jace must nonetheless learn to survive in a merciless environment, crafting everything with his own hands. He must learn the art of combat and how to control the powerful abilities that surface in his body. Northblood, they’ll call him. A blessing and a curse.

On the bright side, he’s totally buff. And there’s this hot redheaded game tester who was pulled from her old life and shoved into his.

Things could definitely be worse.

good story

horrible on the gristwee hissing just say the words i almost stopped listening cuz it sounds like hes trying to puke but cant

Okay..

Mc is a dumb wuss. Doesn't "curse" ugh, are you fucking kidding me? Not helping the wolves kill the slavers. Wanting to flee from the alpha. Not taming the alpha. Not even getting a ton of exp from being a lil bitch and killing the cool giant wolf.. He sucks so much.
And that god damn bug hissing and grunting- why do narators want to give me a headache, shut up.

A Great Adventure

Carrie does another excellent job of gaming adventure with interesting characters and a wonderful plot. The narration is excellent!

Finally a book with crafting even if it's only a lil bit of weapon crafting it's still some let's hope she has him pick up on crafting in book 2

Narley Dude!!!

loved the characters and plotline. It
grabs you quick and keeps you interested. thank you!!!

Camping

Story is about mom and dad going on a boring camping trip with the entitled annoying teenagers. A Story were apparently a ranger that spends over 200 days in the woods each year and cannot make a campfire, I know 1st year boy scouts or cub scouts can do that. Very shallow characters and lack of development, don't care for any of them.

Double edge comment

I believe this book had such great promise. The writer made a solid effort to give the listener a well-rounded sense of who each character is. Sadly this book fails in one central area. With the writer’s permission I presume, the narrator gave a character the voice-over of a Bill and Ted character, and it has become so obnoxious to listen to that someone might consider returning this book. For instance, imagine if you had to hear someone say, “Your such a bodacious babe,” in a supposed medieval-like setting, it just does not fit.

nothing special... sad but true

Don't get me wrong it's not BAD per say but it's not really all that great either... it just doesn't stand out in any real way. the characters are a bit flat and every problem seems to have a solution fall into place without any effort or struggle.. to me thats the fun of reading these types of books. seeing interesting characters doing interesting things.. and I just didn't get that here.
