I've rated it 3 stars for the story itself however the audio version is incredibly performed and makes it far more enjoyable.

The plot is a little convoluted and amateurish, however put in the context of how it came to be it makes sense. The characters have a Mary-Sue fan fictiony feel to them at times, but on the whole it's a fun piece of fantasy adventure in a world that's easy to sink in to. I'm sure I'll get the next volume and enjoy many hours of escapism.
