Fayroll #9
Word and Steel
Warning! This quest is impossible to complete on your own. Bring a group of friends with you.
Dark days are dark days, but a job has to be done, no matter how dangerous Harriton’s life can be. Fayroll, filled with epic raids in the company of the most unexpected team, tricky boss-battles await Laird Hagen!
Hagen used to minimize his interactions with other players, but now he stands at the edge of raid territory, and there’s no way he can proceed on his own. It is time for skills and tactics and undead raids led by an Immortal Baron. It is time to band together with old friends and clan mates.
The difficulties mount as the land of Fayroll is filled with a spawn of Darkness led by Lords of Death, while there are clan rivalries and wars. Everyone seems to have their own plans for the virtual universe. They are all combatants in the name of a new Fayroll era, ancient Gods, and Darkness.
A mysterious player definitely knows where to hide and how to break the whole game’s rules set by Raidion. Game administrators are no longer the most enlightened and competent, so who knows how the online world will change? Fayroll is the epicenter of an upcoming revolution. It is the same as in the real world, where Harriton has to struggle for his life against a still unknown but powerful and unscrupulous enemy.
“Word and Steel” is the 9th book of Fayroll series by the most successful Russian LitRPG writer A. Vasilyev. It requires all of your attention and sucks you in as the plot keeps moving forward, revealing secrets of the past, while finding new ones to investigate. Discover the secrets of parallel worlds in Fayroll: Word and Steel!

About the author
Andrey Vasilyev
64 books147 followersAt times, I feel I was meant to be an innkeeper someplace on the outskirts of Bree in J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth. However, in real life, I am a much-celebrated Moscow-based author, as well as one of the originators of the relatively new, yet insanely popular, LitRPG genre that blends cyberpunk, classic sci-fi, and fantasy.
I started writing in my late 30’s and only “because there was nothing handy to read,” but after my first two books gained nearly instant acclaim, I had to give serious thought to changing my current banking career to that of a professional writer. Fortunately for my readers, who had voted his debut novel More Than a Game (link) the “Best Book of the Year 2014,” I never looked back after that.
Over the next few years, I continued work on the now-bestselling Fayroll series, maintained a blog, and participated in various multiple-author projects. I am also the author of The Raven’s Flock and The Arch series, which will soon be available in English.

Book nine
Glad this bit KU today. Even though it is costly to do translations, I feel like this is overpriced for it's length.
An enjoyable story though and I look forward to book ten teaching KU.
I recommend this series.

Toto bol opäť o niečo lepší diel a zase platí, že je tak tým viac, čím monotematickejší je dej. Žiadne bočné úlety, hoci znovu došlo na ďalšie a ďalšie kvantá postáv, o ktorých nevieme nič. Ak niečo platí o celej sérii, tak to, všetky postavy, vrátane hlavných, sú len figúrky bez obsahu. A neviem, či je to sonda do ruskej duše, ale okrem toho všealkoholového pozadia mi pripadá, že je každý je od mladého veku kariéristom, ženy sú žiarlivé až bieda a tolerancia násilia je na nezvyklej úrovni.

These books don't come out fast enough..
Release day mix up aside this was a damn fine book. Resolutions to existing quests, new quests and a little closer to the creation of a new kingdom. This is by far my favorite LitRPG series and aside from the books being a bit short for my tastes it always succeeds at entertaining me.

A lot of filler
Not enjoying these books nearly as much as the earlier novels. I suppose 9 in a series is a lot.. The real life seems equally as fantastical as the game. The overall plot is just about non existent too. Overall it is disappointing.

wrong book
On the amazon Store purchase page, it says that the manuscript has been corrected. I've tried downloading it several times and it still gives me book number 8.
