A truly unique story. It mixes RPG, post-apocalypse, and reincarnation into something new.

It took a while to find its legs but once off and running it was unstoppable. With a sympathetic protagonist pitted against an enemy of unimaginable power, we get front row seats to an epic David versus Goliath battle. Or at least the set-up to the battle. Because it's only just begun.

If the set-up to the main conflict is this good, I can't wait for the next book.

What a shame. Began very interestingly but the main character uses a cheat code or another life and he plays again starting in utero. The rest was mostly filler, introspection and angst. Skipped pages. Writing choppy. Corny.

I was enthralled by this book.

It started out with a damaged character that we got to see grow throughout the book in meaningful ways. The first section of the book I was waiting for a twist and when it finally came I became even more engrossed.

I finished this in one day and it turned out to be one of my favorite books of the year. If you’re a fan of settlement building, apocalypse, or realworld LitRPG then this is the book for you.

First Song has fantastic character and story development and really delivers in every aspect. If the second book is anything like the first then I expect to have another favorite of the year.

9/10

If you don't like lit RPG (I'm not really a fan) but enjoy "Fantasy", this book is still quite a bit of fun.
