About this listen
Reidon Ward will become a god.
He doesn't know it yet, of course. Reidon was born weak, sickly, and small. Afflicted with a painful disease and abandoned by his parents because of it, he has had to fight tooth and nail for every minor advantage life has allowed him.
However, his perseverance has not gone unnoticed, and when the most powerful artificial intelligence in human history takes an interest in him, things began to change quickly. Granted a CAD—a Combat Assistance Device—with awful specs but an infinite potential for growth, Reidon finds himself at the bottom of his class at the Galens Institute, one of the top military academies in the Collective. Along with his best friend, Viviana Arada, Reidon will have to start his long climb through the school rankings and on to the combat tournament circuits that have become humanity's greatest source of excitement and entertainment.
So begins the rise of a god. So begins the ascent of the Stormweaver.

Story5 out of 5 stars 52
When the cultivators came to Earth, they destroyed our entire civilization in a matter of hours. Armies fell, cities burned, and that was before the moon turned red and filled our world with monsters. Now, over a decade later, what's left of humanity slaves under the heels of our Qi-infused masters. The luckiest of us might even become one of them, they say—if we serve the Dynasty well enough and harness the power of Qi. But I want none of that. I'm sick of serving, and I want nothing to do with their world. Instead, I want them to pay for what they did to mine.

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.

Humans have been pushed to the brink of extinction by an ever-evolving demonic threat. Portals are opening faster than ever, Towers are bursting into the skies, and Dungeons are being mined below the last safe havens of society. The demons are winning. Quest Academy stands defiantly against them as a place to train the next generation of Heroes. The Guild Association is holding the line but is in dire need of new blood and the powerful abilities they could bring to the battlefront. To be the saviors that humanity needs, they need to surpass the limits of those that came before them.

When it comes to action and adventure, every hero needs a good sidekick. Holmes has Watson, Batman has Robin, and Daniel has . . . Orrin. More like brothers than friends, they always have each other's backs. And as Daniel is the big, strong, handsome type, Orrin is more than happy to remain in his shadow at school, at parties, pretty much everywhere. Then things take a turn for the truly weird when a terrible accident catapults the pair into a world totally unlike their own, in which the rules of a role-playing game hold sway.

Amazing story, can't wait for Book 2
This is an amazing underdog story. Well thought out universe, and backstory. Great character growth for the main character, as well as secondary characters. Narration was great, Luke Daniels did his best to differentiate character voices which was extremely helpful, I especially got a kick out of Catcher's voice.
The CAD grading system had much to be desired though. A countdown alphabetical system implies an upper cap, F-S... ugh, it should have just been numbers with tiers every 10 levels and it would be been mostly the same. However the Growth stat should not have been part of the CAD's overall ranking, it should have been to the side for the user (and hidden for people not granted access) since it doesn't affect combat capability in the slightest in any given fight, it only applies after a fight is finished. Any one of Rei's close friends (Catcher and Aria) should have known exactly what his growth stat was since he was constantly saying the levels of his other stats, it's just simple math to determine averages. Which means his beginning CAD ranking should have been F0.
And while i do understand the academy mostly teaches new users to use their CAD's, they are all members of the military. Then spend more time focusing on training to fight other users and ZERO time learning about the actual enemy, or how to fight them. I'm sure there could have been team simulations pitting them against under powered Archons. That way they would become familiar with how they looked/sounded, fought, adapted. Also zero instructors or staff made themselves available at training centers to watch over students training and offer guidance or advice. All the students were so focused on either their honor/reputation taking a hit, or later becoming jealous about competition for sports, and not one of them was like "Wow, this is the type of person I want to back me up on the battlefield!"
All these small criticisms aside, this was an amazing book. I'm eagerly looking forward to book 2 in March. Only 4 months away... yay.

Very well written book. Vivid imagination pictures for the mind. I enjoyed it all and are looking forward to the next book (2).
This is NOT a space opera book but takes place in a small area.

Story is told smoothly full of action, twists, and yuks making you hesitant to pause or fall asleep. And the other comments seem to agree! My only complaint is there isn’t more to the series.

Pretty good start
Great start to the series, ill definitely be picking up the next book.
HOWEVER. The story itself is not really original. Your typical started from the bottom school progression story, staring the best friend, the school bully, the forbidden love interest, the teacher, the angry teacher, the rival...yeah you get the picture. The characters themselves arent particularly interesting. I understand their motivations but i didnt find that any of them (including the main) stand out to me.
The narrator is a bit too BREATHY and dramatic at times, it can make some scenes a bit silly and uncomfortable.
The fights can be drawn out and certain parts can be over detailed, several times i found myself spacing out DURING fight scenes. Yikes.
Its better than *Sufficiently Advanced Magic* but not as good as *Cradle*
Still great.

Great fun book
Great first book. If you like the idea of a Sci Fi, Harry Potter/Enders game coming of age book you will enjoy this book. The narrator is able to have enough different character voices to keep the listener involved and the "LIT" format is not so over done to make the book a endless narration of Statistics. I look forward to the upcoming Stormweaver series books. I think the success of this book will depend on how fast the author is able to get the other books in the series out.

Fun progression sci-fi with likeable characters
While I wouldn't say that this novel is incredibly unique in a lot of ways, it does a lot of things right. Good pacing, an exciting progression system, a likeable cast of characters, and fun interaction between them.
This, coupled with an incredible performance from Luke Daniels, kept me engaged the entire time. Finished the whole thing in like 4 days.
There are only two main criticisms of the story I can think of:
1. the characters seemed a bit to glued to each other, would've been interesting to see some more individual development.
2. the dialog at times felt a bit juvenile and cringeworthy? Maybe a bit overdramatic. Though to be fair I would prefer this over the norm in a lot of modern fantasy/sci-fi dialog, which is just incredibly dead and uninteresting. Also the characters are basically kids, so it somewhat makes sense.
Overall, one of my favorite things I've read/listened to this year, can't wait for the next book!
