There are many worlds in the cosmos. Many of them have rules and laws that are utterly alien to the world that we know. Most never leave the world they were born into, never even know or suspect that other worlds even exist. Their souls simply go through the cycle of reincarnation again and again, always forgetting their past lives, and living as they please. But some few are given the gift of Transfering after death, to live their next life in a different world, with memories of their past lives to enrich the world they go to with new concepts and new ideas, and bringing back those same from the world they visited when it is time for their next cycle in their old world.

A young woman suffers a tragic fate, and is granted the ability to Transfer. She is reincarnated into a new world, full of monsters and magic, things that would be mere myths and legends to her in her old life. This time, she promises, will be different. She doesn't have to be weak here. She doesn't have to be a victim. She can be strong, and no one will ever control her again!

My Opinion: 274 pages, $3.50, Not Available On Kindle Unlimited

A good tabletop LitRPG story. It has a female main character (MC) who is transported to a fantasy RPG world that follows DnD 3.5 rules. 

Game mechanics wise, the story is pretty crunchy and the authors actually shows each roll done to determine the combat, saves, and skill checks and it was fun to see how bad rolls impacted the course of the story. One series of bad rolls almost ended the MC at one point. The MC also has a bit of a homebrew class, it was quite entertaining to see her think through her character creation choices and how she wanted to progress as she leveled.

On the story side of things, it's a fairly slice of life story that feels influenced by the Icewind Dale campaign setting. A fun action adventure oriented story with pretty good world building. Again, it helped that the setting was familiar since I'd read other novels set in a similar location. 

Overall, this is a good story that pulls heavily from the tabletop DnD experience and any one that likes the 3.5 rule set or the Icewind Dale setting will enjoy the story.

Score: 7.5 out of 10
