About this listen

Death had only ever been a small misunderstanding for the high mage. After his seventh reincarnation, he'd begun thinking of it differently, viewing it as nothing more than a slight hiccup in his plans.

But he'd forgotten one thing: When those plans get in the way of those higher up the ladder, punishment is soon to follow. And one more death brought faint consolation.

Sent to another world, he found himself in a stranger's body, though the worst part was that he was left with only the memories he'd built since his previous reincarnation. All the mage had learned before that point was gone. Finding himself in that challenging situation, his dilemma was between carving out his place in the sun and throwing up his hands in despair.

But giving in wasn't an option for Leg Ondo. The Brown Bear clan brooked no cowards. If fighting was the way to go, it was a fight to the death, to the last drop of blood. Most importantly, the new world needed to be explored and understood, the local iteration of magic in particular. Let nobody ever say that the youngest of the Bears was unworthy!

Great Story!

I really enjoyed listening to this book. They did a good job sucking me into the world of the story. I also enjoyed how they kept to the MC’s perspective pretty well for most of the story. Some books spend too much time on the side characters and it detracts from the MC storyline. This book did it just right.

Weird world but I couldn't put it down

I bought this hoping it was a LITRPG but it wasn't. The magic system in this world is very different but I thought this was very well written. I finished this in one sitting.

Good but

An excellent story but it seem to have something lacking. This may be because it was written for a young audience. Though my first guess would be this was not focused on young readers.

Excellence

To tell you the truth I found your books by accident. After listening to the first one I knew I was in trouble. I absolutely love your writing styles and stories, and if I had the money I would bye all of your books. Thanks for everything you do. I hope you can keep writing for a long time and never run out of ideas.

Twoooo different worlds ...

He lived in twoooo different worlds. Kidding aside, Vasily Mahanenko crafted a well-balanced and entertaining book. The characters were given ample backstory so as to invite one to become invested in them. The plot pacing moved forward in a fluid manner and the battles scenes were interesting. There is plenty of intrigue and the character interaction was engaging.

Matt Godfrey's performance was good and made a positive impact on the audiobook.
