Tales of a Northblood

Winter's Breath: A LitRPG Saga

By: Carrie Summers

Narrated by: Annie Ellicott, Jeff Hays, Dorrie Sacks

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.

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!

I enjoyed this book, it is definitely an interesting storyline and interesting characters, I recommend it.

Enjoyable Listen!

Great story by Carrie Summers with great narration by the excellent team of Soundbooth Theater! Fun characters with good growth too!

great start!!!!

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!!!

It's ok

Great character voices!

It's just another LitRPG novel. People end up in another world where stats and levels affect everything. They have to fight monsters and complete quests.

The notes added to quests in the game system are entertaining and make it clear some mysterious entity is watching and paying personal attention.

The skulks' words being translated into statements like "righteous, dude!" was amusing.

I feel like playing Valheim around the time of listening to this book would make both more enjoyable. They both have that feeling of starting from nothing and having to build up very basic technology.

I don't MIND the series. If the books appeared for free in my Audible account, I'd listen to them... eventually, but not at the top of my queue. But I'm not particularly invested in continuing the series. Not a bad series, just didn't particularly grip me.

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.
