Summoners are born, not made.

For Bran of Ealdor, this is the one thing stopping him from becoming a member of the legendary warriors known as summoners. They are gods among men who can call monsters into battle to fight alongside them.

Mages, Rangers, Beastmasters, Protectors, Hunters, and Lancers. These are the six classes of summoners.

None of which Bran can become.

Until one day, when a griffin crash lands into the stable, a summoner riding on top of the beast.

That day, everything changes for Bran. He is thrust into a world of magical creatures and their masters, and he soon discovers just how unique he is among them. But being special puts a target on his back. Some of the most powerful summoners in the world would do anything to discover just what makes him so special.

Summoner’s Shadow is a LitRPG series that occurs in a medieval fantasy world. Bonding with monsters grants a summoner special abilities, dictated by the monster type and their class. Monsters can be leveled up, augmented, and evolved.

This is an awesome book. You follow the journey of Bran, late bloomer Summoner. He get his long wish of becoming a Summoner. The story is very well written with enjoyable characters. The system is great. Great twist in how humans don't have powers, the monsters do. Get to tame monsters and feels a lot like an adult Pokémon (got me hooked off that alone). Can't wait for second book!

Freaking Awesome

Story
The story is an interesting take on summoners, its been a pleasent and enjoyable listen. I've read the review from Joseph with his 2 star rating and i will disagree about his comments of the main character. I've enjoyed the references about him being a soldier and it helped drive the decisions he makes durring battle, which seemed like smart moves to me. The plot has a good deal of mystery which I will be looking forward to finding out about in the future volumes.

Audible performance
Mr. Rising  did a fairly good job with being the narrator for the story. He did a great job in coming up with the different voices for the characters. Though my few negatives on his narration was saying "times" while listing out the inventory items for each item and I felt there was a slight offness to his performance. Might have been due to seeming a bit slow. Reccomend maybe to speed up to 1.1 or 1.2 on the narration speed setting. But seriously though it was an enjoyable time listening to the story.

Thabk you Mr. King for another great story

Pleasantly good listen!

I took a chance on this one since it’s from DB King and I’ve liked some of the other series. I was really happy I did, it was a great listen and I’m very excited for more to come.

I suspect I’ll probably be too impatient and read the next one that was just released to Kindle. Still anxious to listen as I think this series will have some replay value.

Very enjoyable listen - anxious for more
