On Frostworld, only the strong survive....

Jarl Beckström dreams of one day becoming a great warrior. Sadly, he had the misfortune of being lowborn-classless, unable to level up. He lives the mundane life of a poor mud-farmer, subjected to the whims of the infamous battleborn and the magical fireborn. But legend says that deeds of great courage can change a person's class....

When the Clan Lord's son unexpectedly disappears, Jarl sees an opportunity to prove himself a hero and rise above the lowly station of his birth. He goes against the traditions of his people to seek his destiny...and possibly even his death.

However, dark things stir in the frozen wilderness.

A star has fallen from the heavens, and the dead have begun to rise. While clanholds struggle in eternal conflict and powerful men vie for control, only an ambitious mud-farmer and his domineering sister can shed light on the true enemy: the monstrous, undead draugr....

Don't miss the start of an epic GameLit/LitRPG adventure with a Viking and Norse Mythology twist. It's perfect for fans of Unsouled, Iron Prince, and Sufficiently Advanced Magic.

overall I am satisfied, my only critique is the performer needed to slow down and let the narration breath instead of rushing like a run on sentence

Fantastic viking ride.

This is an adventure novel. The litrpg elements are so pointless that they actually detract from the story. That being said, it’s still a great book. When the MC levels up, nothing happens. There is a vague notion of improvement, but there is never any clear idea of the difference between a level one and a level twenty. There are some skills, but they just seem like normal combat reactions. The stats take the form of dice rolls, which is annoying.

Good book…. Not litrpg

Not quite the full bore commitment to LitRPG that other popular reads have, but certainly well within the expanding genre. Not my favorite, but kudos for a bit of originality. A credit's not wasted on this.

Quality Fantasy with LitRPG Elements

So I have a weird fascination with ice worlds or frozen ruins. When I first saw this, I was a little hesitant because I didn’t know if they would do my fascination justice. This definitely went beyond my expectations and I loved it. It has everything a Skyrim fanatic like me would ever want in a Viking style book.

Better than I expected

the world is a little basic and the characters somewhat predictable... but the story is solid and entertaining...

Niel does a great job and the lacking star is due to personal preferences on my part...
his main voice is unfortunately distinct enough that I am constantly reminded of other books he's narrated instead of focusing on this one

solid story
