Publisher's summary
Stack your Deck. Climb the Gaia Tower. Defeat its Guardians.
Almost half a century has passed since prison ships en route to Australia discovered the mysterious Tower rising out of the Indian Ocean, known as Gaia. Monarchies, republics, and trading giants came together to build a city around it and contain the monsters spilling out of the rune-covered structure.
The few that dared enter and climb it learned the magic of Gaia's runic cards.
Now, most people enter the tower seeking fame, fortune, or power. Not Diya Sen. He climbs hoping to find clues about his missing brother and to solve Gaia's mysteries. However, the warring noble houses stand in his way.
His mission won't be easy. Many sources of power are outside his reach as an ordinary man. But if the direct approach doesn't help Diya achieve his goals, perhaps the talents of a Spell Thief will.
Don't miss the start of the Tower of Cards series from best seller J Pal. This is progression fantasy utilizing a runic-card-based magic system with tons of customization. Perfect for fans of All the Skills and Towers of Heaven, as well as games such as Slay the Spire, Hearthstone, and Gwent.

Story
After serving two terms in the Iron Army's Building Division, Flint Woodson is done with it all. With his four-legged friend at his side, he wants nothing more than to find a remote settlement, work as a guard or a builder, and find a wife. He doesn't care about filling his remaining nodes with Skill Stones or wasting his life looking for a Class. Wyldbloods like him aren't destined for greatness. But the realm is at war. The Fae are sick of humankind violating their treaties, their Wyld armies taking to the fields.

Story
Arthur lives with his father, a fallen but proud former noble, in Border Village #49, along with the other good folks condemned to toil in service to the Baron. But Arthur has an edge: a stolen heart card that secretly fell into his possession, thanks to a dragon. It’s a priceless source of power for the Baron and the tyrant will kill to get it back. Invaluable, too, to a young man of spellcasting ambitions.

Not every man can handle a magitech gauntlet that speaks in floating silver text, or a handful of women with unique...needs. I’m not every man. When a bad blind date got worse - like, interdimensional lightning storm worse - I woke up to a realm of dragon women, magical kobolds, and a playful monkey girl with a painful secret. I also accidentally (totally on purpose) stole an ancient artifact in the form of a black gauntlet that bonded with my body and unlocked various new abilities. So what’s the catch? The glove wasn’t meant for me. It was meant for the fabled Hero of Silura.

Chad Johnson built his following by being a troll. Online games, social media, you name it—he's there with a witty comeback. But when he goes too far during a televised stream, he's handed a punishment unlike any other. Instead of the usual ban or suspension, Chad's sentenced to thirty days of full immersion therapy in Isle of Mythos—a world of epic fantasy filled with dungeons and mythical creatures. The twist? He's forced to embody a forest troll, one of the most-despised races in Mythos.

Worse, his only weapon is a magical branding iron, which seems to have one skill and one skill only, to overwrite slave brands. Thing is, monster girls seem pretty grateful about being freed from the tyranny of their masters, and with each one he brands, the stronger he becomes.

But also, where death awaits him in any corner, and he must become stronger. But at first, before he can even fight, he has to run, because he is too weak to win a battle against even the weakest monster. And that is why he invests all of his Essence Points into his Agility. Which eventually gives him the potential to overcome almost all his enemies— with the small caveat that he does not get hit, of course. His immense speed...

Narrator Makes Some Odd Line Reads
I'm halfway through, but far enough to make the following observation. As another reviewer has mentioned, this narrator makes some odd choices. He sometimes puts the emphasis on the wrong word. This can give the phrase a different meaning than the context suggests. But sometimes it just makes the phrase seem discordant. A lexicographer calls this bruising the ear, which is an apt description of how these missteps strike me as a listener.
Part of what makes it particularly disappointing here is that the narrator generally does a good job. He clearly knows how to read a line and mostly does it well. If Christopher Walken was narrating, you'd get 10 wonky line reads per minute. Pirhalla's narration does not approach Walken levels of wonk. But, while Pirhalla may not be topping out the wonkiness scale, he's definitely registering levels on the scale. It's noticeable and breaks immersion frequently enough that at least two reviewers have now bothered to point it out.
With that said, I enjoyed Spell Thief and I don't regret my $7.49 (thanks KU). There is a ton of room for the story to grow and I’m looking forward to it.

Gamelit using cards instead of points!
I actually love J Pal's work, so I gave the Spell Thief a go. I found that I enjoyed the book a lot, inspite of the very slow start as the world and character building progressed. Dia was a very thoughtful and respectful young man, even if it crossed against his own opinion.
His plan was to climb the tower to get stronger inorder to prove his brother's innocents. The goal never changed but became more immediate when his best friend's life is threatened! But first beating the tower, will be no easy task. Filled with both monsters, and greedy noble houses ready to stop him no matter the cost.
This is only the second gamelit I've read that plays around with cards instead of stats to get stronger. The first one being Jake's Magical Market and I still find it quite unique, and fun style of gamelit writing.
So yeah, grab the book and see what you think.

The magic system is wonderful
Fun, unique spin. And enjoyable blend of culture and storytelling. Dynamic magic system and enjoyable challenges.

Pretty Good
For the most part I did enjoy the book, but I’m hesitant to consider sticking with the series. I’m not a huge fan of books with complicated romances. I prefer them to be either there or not at all. With the matter of distrust, divergent goals, and social status all thrown into the mix; it sours the story for me.
Aside from that, the card system, character progression and growth are all fantastic and an enjoyable listen.

Perfect start to a promising series
a great listen and a fascinating world. the system is interesting, offering a wide variety of cool opportunities.
i appreciate that searching for a perfect upgrade means there's plenty of time to appreciate the character's current power before they change again.
the characters are also great. they're believable, and the question of whether or not they’re trustworthy is a constant!
