Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

Alec began his 18th birthday with the temple monks. By day's end, he discovers he possesses magical abilities. Except his magic is unique. He doesn't require grimoires and incantations to cast spells. Alec's magic is entirely natural. He can, somehow, absorb the elements from objects and manipulate them according to his will. This power is incredible, but difficult to master. If he's going to learn how to use his natural magic, it'll take the tutelage of Archmage Diamondspear, one of the most adept magic users in the kingdom.

But Steve isn't the average guy, he's ex-military, ex-enforcer and ex-human. He's a one man nanite fuelled nightmare for those that cross the line, and he's decided that its time to clean up his act. He's going to make up for the things he's done, and save 'the little guys'.

The apocalypse began on Bring Your Dog to Work Day. One moment, everything was normal. Then the World Core woke up, and slaughtered almost everything alive so it could harvest their Chi. After that, it rebuilt everything and put the survivors in a game-like environment, pitting them against monsters and each other. The rules are different now. Chi power is as important as being able to fight. I'm one of the survivors. With my knowledge of martial arts and my special Chi skill, I'm turning myself into a force to be reckoned with.

That was who I was. That was what I was, a tiny snake with great potential. The sole creation of the Great Core. It was just us—the great core and I—tucked away in our little corner of the world dungeon. Together, we hid from the bad things and the Coreless of the world outside, safe from the horrors that would consume us. Until one day, the Coreless found us. Until they tried to steal away my creator. Until with no other option, I swallowed the Great Core that had made me. Only after that, did I become what I was always meant to be.

Callum had seen things all his life. There are monsters and beasts living among people, but he learned very early not to admit such things, not if he didn’t want people to think him crazy. It turns out that the supernatural is real, but at 30, Callum has no desire to be part of that secret. Not that he has a choice when it turns out he is a mage, albeit one that hasn’t cast any spells in all his life. There are requirements, duties, and education that the powers that be insist he be subject to. To hell with that.

Summary
Summoners are born, not made.
For Bran of Ealdor, this is the one thing stopping him from becoming a member of the legendary warriors known as summoners. They are gods among men who can call monsters into battle to fight alongside them.
Mages, Rangers, Beastmasters, Protectors, Hunters, and Lancers. These are the six classes of summoners.
None of which Bran can become.
Until one day, when a griffin crash lands into the stable, a summoner riding on top of the beast.
That day, everything changes for Bran. He is thrust into a world of magical creatures and their masters, and he soon discovers just how unique he is among them. But being special puts a target on his back. Some of the most powerful summoners in the world would do anything to discover just what makes him so special.
Summoner’s Shadow is a LitRPG series that occurs in a medieval fantasy world. Bonding with monsters grants a summoner special abilities, dictated by the monster type and their class. Monsters can be leveled up, augmented, and evolved.

Sum it up
This is a good point from another reviewer and why its a good point is because its brought more than a dozen times.
"I found the protagonist's history as a war vet utterly pointless too - he should have just been an unknown stable hand. Every time this guy goes into combat it just feels amateur hour to me." The dude is 20th something, Not only that, but he was a spearman, that is it. Some low level foot soldier.
It was not some bowman or master bowman, but hey lets have the MC pick up a bow for the first time and start to use one like he is robin hood, also what is the point of this academy if he doesn't attend it? This whole story is not believable and the interactions of other characters are the same.

pretty amateurish
this book just feels amateurish. From unrealistic dialogue (ex: when Bran meets Olaro), to plot conveniences (oh how convenient that Olaro, this person Bran met out of chance, is his new tutor), it feels like someone's first draft.
firstly, the old cliche of the main character being the most special person on the planet. Summoners are super rare, so you're already pretty special and lucky if you are one. But oh no no no! This isn't good enough for MAIN CHARACTER GUY. he needs to be the MOOOOST special out of special people, so he can be better than all the other special people with little to no downsides
second is the shear convenience in some parts of the story. Oh, how convenient that an enemy school JUST HAPPENS to infiltrate our school through the very same alternate dimension our main character is in, and in just such a way that they need to pass by our main characters despite them being several hours away from their destination and on a side of a mountain. Wow, how lucky!
Also, less bad but still flaws. At one point, a griffin has its ears perked up (eagles down have ears) and the griffin can conveniently track the infiltrators through scent, despite being a flying predator.

Freaking Awesome
This is an awesome book. You follow the journey of Bran, late bloomer Summoner. He get his long wish of becoming a Summoner. The story is very well written with enjoyable characters. The system is great. Great twist in how humans don't have powers, the monsters do. Get to tame monsters and feels a lot like an adult Pokémon (got me hooked off that alone). Can't wait for second book!

it's good a unique take on magic
I usually don't right reviews but I've seen two form a Joe and Joseph and honestly I don't get the hate. yes he is a veteran but that was with the spear why in the world would it mean he should be a magic god I think he learned how to use it fairly well. then there is the other review the author stated multiple times that he had some archery training (not to mention I'm sure magic plays a role with his development) tldr it's good ignore the haters

Very enjoyable listen - anxious for more
I took a chance on this one since it’s from DB King and I’ve liked some of the other series. I was really happy I did, it was a great listen and I’m very excited for more to come.
I suspect I’ll probably be too impatient and read the next one that was just released to Kindle. Still anxious to listen as I think this series will have some replay value.

Pleasantly good listen!
Story
The story is an interesting take on summoners, its been a pleasent and enjoyable listen. I've read the review from Joseph with his 2 star rating and i will disagree about his comments of the main character. I've enjoyed the references about him being a soldier and it helped drive the decisions he makes durring battle, which seemed like smart moves to me. The plot has a good deal of mystery which I will be looking forward to finding out about in the future volumes.
Audible performance
Mr. Rising did a fairly good job with being the narrator for the story. He did a great job in coming up with the different voices for the characters. Though my few negatives on his narration was saying "times" while listing out the inventory items for each item and I felt there was a slight offness to his performance. Might have been due to seeming a bit slow. Reccomend maybe to speed up to 1.1 or 1.2 on the narration speed setting. But seriously though it was an enjoyable time listening to the story.
Thabk you Mr. King for another great story

Started out okay, then went downhill
If it's not bad enough that you try and blatantly rip off Philosopher's Stone, doing so while making your early 20s cast of characters seem more naive than a trio of eleven year-olds is pretty embarrassing.
I found the protagonist's history as a war vet utterly pointless too - he should have just been an unknown stable hand. Every time this guy goes into combat it just feels amateur hour to me.
Ultimately, I'll not be continuing with this. I found it frustrating and, when it wasn't annoying me, dreadfully dull.
