Acerca de esta escucha
Paragon Exordium is an easy-to-listen-to character-driven fantasy novel that combines classic magical elements with a modern-day setting full of non-stop action, world-building, and high stakes.
-In Paragon, Georgia, the battle for survival has begun.
After the Shattering, everything changes. When technology falters, the remnants of humanity must unite against an onslaught of creatures beyond their wildest imaginings. Basilisk, orcs, elves, dwarves, and other terrifying creatures now populate the planet.
With the creatures causing havoc, strangers are forced to join forces. Private military officer Peter Blair grapples with enigmatic dreams brought on by a black sword, and his inability to save everyone. While journalism student Sarah Young discovers newfound magical powers and the responsibility they bring. With refugees flooding in and danger on the rise, Peter and Sarah must embrace their new reality or risk surrendering Earth to the Fae - losing everything they hold dear.
Fans of The Walking Dead and Lord of the Rings will be enticed by this genre-bending epic that rings with themes of survival, sacrifice, and self-discovery.
After 6 years of writing/editing, Mikel and David have completed the first installment in their Apocalyptic Epic Military Rural Fantasy. A story like no other.

Hi, my name's Max and I'm one of the Selected. What's the first thing that pops into your head when you read those words? A great hero, chosen from among all the billions of people on Earth? A lucky man who has ended up on an unknown world and gained superpowers? An explorer of new worlds who has discovered his destiny? Well, that's all true, but there is one but . . . Actually, if I'm honest, there are a whole load of buts. And there are rules. And the first rule of the Selected is: "Try not to die. It is expensive and impractical."

A life spent honing his skills and serving his country hasn’t turned out exactly how Nathaniel Abrams planned, but it’s attracted the attention of the Tower. Ascending to its peak is meant to give anyone whatever they wish for, but all Nate cares about is finding some way to use the skills that seem so useless in civilian life. And if he can prevent a magical wish being given to some maniac (because the Tower seems to love welcoming maniacs through its doors), then that’ll be a bonus. Besides, Nate has an edge.

All his life, Mark Fields has dreamed of joining the Defense Force to fight the vicious, alien Exlian, just like the rest of his renowned family. But so far, he’s … a dishwasher, trapped in a dead-end job with no powers, no money, and even fewer friends. But an encounter with a dying woman changes everything—granting him the abilities he needs to join the training camps—and his life finally feels like it’s turning around, faster than a movie martial-arts montage (just ignore the weird cat).

The System is here! Most of the population of the planet were suddenly turned into zombies, while the rest acquired new abilities. Abilities that let them run from the zombies, save themselves, hide, and try to survive. But it only takes one bite that almost always means death. Our hero was standing in line when the apocalypse came. He was lucky at first to be caught in a crowd when the zombies tried to bite him on the leg. Really lucky, because those trials unlocked new abilities for him.

The voice acting was stellar as well. The only criticism I could give is I didn't love the babysitter's voice at the very beginning, but every other character's voice had a charm and inflection that made them truly unique and helps immerse you in the author's story.

First, thank you to the author for sending me a review audiobook copy of this book, I had so much fun with this!
A modern take on classic epic fantasy tropes, Paragon Exordium tells the story of a group of survivors in modern-day Georgia following a magical apocalypse known as The Shattering. After the sky broke into pieces, technology all but died, and magical creatures straight out of the fairy tales began to appear: orcs, dwarves, elves, dryad, basilisks, and much, much more. Suddenly faced with a frightening new world, rife with magic and beings beyond their comprehension, our main characters must find a way to survive while also trying to discover their places and their destinies as they suddenly find themselves living in a classic epic fantasy story made real.
I genuinely had a lot of fun with this world, this story, and these characters. I loved the modern take on the classic epic fantasy story, loved the magic and the mystery, and loved the different POVs that we followed throughout. This book also gave me major The Walking Dead vibes in the best way: an apocalypse, a group of survivors in Georgia, a character that reminded me of The Governor, a journey to some important HQ building in Atlanta. The characters were well written, the pacing was wonderful, the plot was intriguing, and the battle scenes just got more and more epic. I laughed, I cried, I was anxious, happy and mad: all the marks of an enjoyable epic fantasy. To me, the modern aspect was weaved in with the epic fantasy feel quite well, and I enjoyed this unique take on the genre. A fun quest, some political intrigue, plenty of magic, the potential beginnings of a prophecy, ancient, mysterious beings, epic, bloody battles, THE WORKS: if you want it in an epic fantasy, this book has it.
As for the audiobook, I think that the production was quite well done. The characters all had their own unique voices, things were dramatic, serious, or humorous at the correct times, and the narrator easily kept my interest throughout. There were only a few moments (certain characters' laughs for example) that took my out of the story, but overall I really enjoyed the audiobook experience and would definitely recommend it to those interested in checking this book out.
Now for some areas that didn't quite sit so well with me. To nobody's fault but my own, I thought that this book was a standalone, not the beginning of a series. Because of that I felt myself becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of answers as I neared the end of the book, but that's just my own fault. As the first book in a series, this was well done. The writing significantly improved as the story continued, but at the beginning it felt a little too predictable and easy. There's one character in particular (a character I love by the way) who was far too conveniently placed and knew all the right answers too often for my liking. I wanted the characters to struggle a little more to discover things rather than just have the answers handed to them at no expense right off the bat. That is necessary in some capacity with a story like this, I understand, but the worldbuilding felt a little too "in your face" for my liking at times. There were also a few times where things felt a little too metaphorical/mysterious for my liking. This may have been intentional as we may get answers later in the series, but this is something I struggle with in other books too. All in all though, my gripes with this are minimal and didn't significantly hinder my enjoyment of this book!
I had a lot of fun with this story and talking about it with the author was a lot of fun! I immediately ordered myself a shelf trophy and look forward to continuing this series in the future! Fans of epic fantasy will definitely enjoy this modern take on the typical epic fantasy story.
A fun modern twist on classic epic fantasy!
