About this listen

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.

Good book…. Not litrpg

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.

Quality Fantasy with LitRPG Elements

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.

Better than I expected

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.

solid story

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

Very good!

I thought this was a very good book. I love LitRPG and combine that with Norse mythology and you got me hooked 😁. It was a great story and the characters are very interesting. I want to listen to the next one.

Good lite LitRPG

I enjoyed the story and Neil is fabulous as always. I think he always brings a lot of energy to his narration.
The LitRPG elements are somewhat sparse, but enough to keep me engaged with the growth of the character.

Low born and ... winter is coming

As others have commented about this book, Blake Arthur Peel only lightly crosses onto an litRPG genre novel. There is leveling up and acquired skills but the book was mostly a fantasy adventure novel. Even with the absence of the typical litRPG genre mechanics, the story and the well-defined character development made for a good listening experience. While most of the characters appear to be either dislikable warrior brutes or arrogant, self-absorbed upper class fire mages, the primary characters have enough well-define character development to make them interesting.to follow. The antagonists are an other worldly horror led by an evil born of the netherworld.

Am looking forward to the next book in the series and Neil Hellegers' compelling narrating performance.
