The Selected (Book 4): A LitRPG Action Adventure Series
Who’s the bravest of them all? Cat lady Mirelle and her Celestial Clan? Yeah, go screw yourself, Mirelle, you and your whole clan! It’s bad enough that I’m allergic to you, now you’ve gone and stayed behind in this world when you should be in the next one.
Go on, scram! And take your stupid clan with you. No democracy here, just despotism, tyranny, and the coming of the lord. Which means me, if you hadn’t worked it out yet… he-he.

I received a review copy of this book.
Very well done. I don't think I'm spoiling anything by saying they finally accomplish everything they wanted in tis book of the series. The next one (if there is one) should be very interesting indeed, since we'll get to see new worlds, and (probably) learn loads and loads about the system.
In any case, this piece of the story was everything you'd want in a story covering the conclusion of a series. Well done, and I'll keep an eye out for more from this author, because this guy writes great stuff.
