For over 30 years, Dominion of Blades has been the hottest online role-playing game in the world. Any gamer with an immersion rig can enter the world of sword and sorcery, of goblins and dragons, and they can hack and slash their way to glory. But the game is too real for some, and after an epidemic of real-life fatalities, public use of the immersion technology has been banned, causing the game to be shut down.

Jonah wakes to find himself in-game, level one, with no memory of how he arrived and no way to eject. With only two companions, trapped in a world that once hosted millions, Jonah must battle his way across a treacherous landscape, fighting virtual monsters, all too real pain, and a very human enemy in a desperate bid to survive.

Dominion of Blades has a great sense of humor with just enough danger to balance it off. I laughed out loud plenty of times, especially during the bits about avoiding quests. But the author also creates a decent sense of peril, which can be hard in a story where the characters can simply respawn if killed.

The story is a little slow to start, but once it does it grabs on and doesn't let go. It builds on details throughout, and it's full of well implemented twists to keep you guessing, which makes the ending very satisfying.

The characters are very well written and unique, which can be rare in the LitRPG genre and helps build a solid emotional connection with each of them. If you've read some of the other reviews for it, you probably already know that it explores some controversial topics, which can bother some readers. But it works for the story and makes it feel more personal.It's also good to see the genre get a much needed dose of diversity.

Overall I can't wait for the next one, cause I got a credit with it's name on it. We need more LitRPG like this!

I’m having a hard time with this book. I usually enjoy litRPG stories, but this one has too many game oddities and long conversations for me to get comfortable with. The extremely long-missing time frame, the space ship, granting epic abilities, the psychotic player; too much going on. Not to mention the surprise twist going into the second half. There is definitely potential here, just a bit too ambitious. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

It's just a game!
