I will say that the main character does often take additional time to think though the magnitude of his decisions and the impact they will have. One of the main lessons our character learned in the second book was that actions have consequences, and this book it no different. I’m sure that is not the case, however, I would have like to have had more backstory even though I jumped right into this one after completing the second. It is like the author has written a single book and released the various numbers in the series at chapter breaks. As with the second book, the third in the series lacks any detailed prequel which is often used to catch the listener upon any of the activities of the previous book. I will say that not only have the characters in the book matured and grown due to their experiences, the author’s writing style and storytelling has also improved with each new book in the series. Even if you are not a gamer, people often enjoy these types of book as it is more of a virtual biography when done.

If you are at all excited to see where our hero goes, this book continues right where book two left off. If you have listened to the previous two books, picking up book three is not even a question. These stories usually follow one or more characters as they complete quests, level up their stats, and often try to fulfill an ultimate challenge once they become powerful enough. For those who are unfamiliar with this genre of book, LitRPG is a type of story where the listener is dropped into a virtual role-playing game environment often a MMO RPG. The series is written by Aleron Kong and the Audible narration is performed by Nick Podehl who also narrated the previous two books. “The Land: Alliances” is the third book in the “Chaos Seeds” series which is quickly becoming a full-fledged LitRPG Saga with upwards of six total books planned four currently available on Audible. My original The Land: Alliances audiobook review and many others can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.
