My Opinion: 173 pages, $2.99, Available On Kindle Unlimited
A very nice short read that advances the MMO adventuring of the main character (MC) and his group of friends and adds a nice dash or real life danger. The story hits all its plot points pretty succinctly which means there’s less fluff. Enjoyed the read, especially the ending and only wish I could learn to use the rapier as well as the MC.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
