About this listen

Amongst the remnants of the ancient Saidican Empire lies Golias Hollow, an underground community of people who’ve taken refuge from the tainted surface. Completely cutoff from the outside world, the men and women of the Hollow follow the teachings of the prophet Dormiar, sacrificing a select few to the outside each year in a ceremony known as “The Choosing”.

Aristial Stoneblood, orphan and occasional troublemaker, is one of this year’s Chosen. Along with his beautiful childhood friend, Kerys Weaver, Aristial leaves the safety of the Hollow and enters an unfamiliar world of shapeshifting swords, respawning monsters, and dangerous dungeons. It’s a new beginning, a place where intimate bonds can hold power, and the price of life is paid in magical essence.

A post-apocalyptic, dungeon-crawling, fantasy harem adventure.

Warning: This audiobook contains a significant amount of explicit sexual content and some adult emotional situations. Listener discretion is advised.

An interesting world and charming start

At my request I received a copy of this audiobook in order to give a fair and unbiased review

Genre: Harem progressive fantasy

Ari has lived in the caves beneath the surface all his life. But finds himself and his childhood friend and crush suddenly having to face the harsh realities of the surface.
Together they fight to adapt and meet others along the way, and soon Ari finds himself surrounded with beautiful women he cares for.

Power dynamics in harem: MC is central, but everyone has a say.
Sex scenes: Explicit. Diverse. Not over the top.

Narrator
Voice diversity: Good, characters can easily be recognised by voice
Pacing and intonation: Very good. Creating intensity at dramatic and passionate moments.
Sex scenes: Passionate, at times delicate and never awkward. Perfect balance.
Amy Soakes is a great story teller and had me fully immersed throughout my binge.
Overall: 4.5 / 5 stars

Writing
Fast and engaging. A "page turner".
Lots of banter and likeable characters that are way more than just fan service, with their own struggles, growth and goals.
In general it feels lively, engaging and well written.

The book’s strengths.
- Great narration
- Interesting World with threats bound to weather and hints at a deep lore
- Characters that have more depth than HaremLit can often have; fewer characters, but with more depth.

The book’s weaknesses.
Nothing was holding me back from just relaxing and enjoying the story.

Overall: 4.5/5 stars
Check my profile for more reviews. They are not always this flattering. It is just legit a good HaremLit book.

Meh!

I was given a code for this book, where by I promised to leave an honest and voluntary review on audible once I'm done.

I couldn't really get into this book, it didn't grab my full attention, I may retry in the future.
The narration is ok.
It's got some Adult content which is quite full on.
Overall it's a one time listen to in my opinion.

An interesting start

When I first started listening to this book I admit I was a little confused. How in the world does the cover tie in to what is happening? Heck, how does the name even fit in. After an admittedly slow start things did start to fall into place, though, and I was able to get into the story. It's a bit slow, but it's the first book and a lot of setting had to be explained. Ultimately I give the book credit for being the closest book I've ever read to explaining how a world could evolve into something that really resembled a video game. If I find myself with credits to burn I just might continue the series; I see a lot of potential.

Pretty darn good overall

The story was a little strange at first but once you get through the first chapter and the quick pace of the chapters at the beginning it's a darn good story with enough suspense and drama to carry through. 4 stars.

Really bad

Really bad, on very level. I read fan fiction that's better than this. I would go in to more detail but were you start its so epically awful.
