I read different book series and a specialist book at the same time. When choosing my next book, I always wanted an overview. This page was created out of this wish. Here you will find books from both the private sector (mainly fantasy and thrillers) and professional environments.
“The Great Game” marks the start of a new series in the LitRPG genre. After my first foray into the genre with Dungeon Hunter, this is already my second series. I don't regret a single word I've read. I'm captivated by the narrative style and the exploratory hunt of the game mechanics as part of the storyline. However, this book is only enjoyable if you like this rules-based storytelling style. I'm thrilled with volume 1, and I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel.
The Krosann Saga concludes with its seventh volume, “The Downfall.” Volume six would have been a suitable ending, but a loose story line was left, which Sam now picks up. This allowed me to experience my beloved characters in one final, turbulent adventure – written with the usual warmth and exciting style.
The entire series is an absolute must-read for fantasy fans. I devoured the books.
Throughout the entire novel, I was on the edge of my seat: Who is the traitor, and whom are they betraying? Sam once again maintains suspense, keeping the question open until the very end. Thankfully, the many plot threads remain clear, and he doesn't get bogged down. The novel almost feels like the series's conclusion. But for Karek, becoming the ruler of all is still a long way off… I'm looking forward to the finale, which is wonderfully set up here.
The entire world of Krosann is in chaos, plagued by civil war and violence. In the midst of it all, the heroes try to find their way. Sam finds time for the side characters. As a reader, I get insights from their perspectives in some chapters, which makes them even more likeable. Sam's writing style and the humour woven throughout are particularly significant because they're so sharp. Thus, without any warning, the group faces seemingly insurmountable challenges on various fronts. Super exciting
Driven by the main character's dreams, the group travels to a remote location to discover a safe, unexplored world. At the same time, the crow murderess, who no longer wants to be one, is driven elsewhere, only to reunite with the group. Thanks to ancient magic, everything seemingly falls into place, assuming the warring parties can put their prejudices behind them.
Sam develops the characters exactly to my liking. Perfect!
Sam keeps the focus on the two main characters, who couldn't be more different. More and more magic enters the story, without the heroes knowing how it works, and they don't really believe in it.
As in real life, the world of Krosann is full of people who are prejudiced and resort to propaganda and hatred. The young group of heroes bravely stands up against this. They constantly try to do the right thing. That's precisely what I like and is a true joy.
