Although it started off a bit rocky, this was a fun novel to read. The first few chapters had some clunky prose and didn't explain much about the world. However, after a while, the story really took off and became exciting and filled with action. I'm looking forward to the next books!

I received Advent by Seth Ring as an eArc through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. I think as for as LITRPG's go, this is done well. I've never read anything from Seth Ring before, but I will definitely be checking out his other series. I did really enjoy the dream sequence scenes and that was super intriguing for me, as well as the mystery behind a few of the characters and how that will play out in the future.

As far as the characters go, I do like them. However I don't feel really super attached to anyone other than the protagonist, Mark. I don't really feel any emotional depth or connection for some of the side characters other than a few of them, but at this point in the series, it's really lacking depth of characters for me.

It felt like some of the storyline was just bouncing around a lot, sometimes things felt like they were apart of the story, other times it felt like it was just happening, I thought the beginning of the book was really strong, and drew me in, but for the middle of the book, the random storylines and such that were going on felt a little forced. I thought the conclusion of the book is satisfying.

In the future, I will most definitely check out the next book in this series when it comes.
