This book was on par with bestsellers
The storyline and the characters were intricate and evolved through the story. It was engaging and kept me pulled into the story. I was quite sad to reach the end of such an epic. I will be heartbreaker if does not continue

Nope, can't do it any more. Made it twenty percent through, I'm done.
This one is bad. Bad writing, bad story and bad characters. I started to despise the main character very early on. He does as he is told without any understanding then complains about it nonstop. The whole thing, just bad.

Oh dear. This was a bit of a mess. Just a bunch of random events, new bad guys appearing over and over so they can be killed one after another. Why? What’s going on? Who cares. A shame as it had quite a strong start.

Suffers from the common problem of modern lingo in medieval fantasy settings.

(I listen to the audible version)
This book is both very fun and at the same time a tear-jerker it's very good very well written and very unique in its story as a whole. I enjoy the sister side of the story a lot more while I like the brother's side as well it just as the kind of typical trope that he gets magic and then is super powerful right away without any real practice though to be fair he does a bit its just nothing like the sisters. The one thing that throws me off is the size of the gremlins one minute they seem to be short the next they're tall like humans and besides that, I find the interplay and just the overall character of the female gremlin that is with the brother, in general, annoying especially towards the end. however minus that little part the book is really good and definitely worth picking up. I will be looking forward to checking out book two once it comes out

Pretty good read
The story started out a little slow and ended up having a familiar over powered hero. However, the story took an upswing about half way through. The dual prospective hero/heroine story lines allowed the author to get creative with his story telling. The mysterious figure involvement also lends intrigue for any forthcoming books. All in all, I ended up enjoying the read and will read the next installment.

Good to read in a flight
Yet, again good book from the author, good plot, fast action, I generally enjoyed it a lot. The only problem with it, is a lot of editing mistakes, for example: he instead of she, etc. it is manageable but at some point very annoying. I am hoping the next one will be better edited and I am looking forward to it. Keep up good work.

Similar to Supermage but still good
This book is very similar to the supermage series. The characters are almost identical and the powers they have are similar. Regardless it is a fantastic start to a series. I loved supermage so this was enjoyable. Definitely recommend reading if you enjoyed supermage.

Superb
What a great weaving of tales between the brother and sister. Mr. Oster does a great job of keeping the reader engaged as he weaves two stories toward the end he has in mind. The character builds are good and the empathy the reader develops speaks volumes to Mr. Oster’s ability in writing.

Great book!
I really enjoyed the book and want to read the next one so I'm not going to leave a super long review. The MC and his sister are pretty OP so if that bugs you, you might not enjoy it. But it didnt bother me at all.
Spoilers:
Dating the gremlin is a little wierd, not sure how I feel about it other than she's so pushy I'm surprised the MC likes her.

Super fun read
I read a lot and this author has done a great job. It Is a great start on I hope to a great series. The MCs(2 main characters) both have challenges to deal with. The book does hint I think to his other books(you need to read the others). Over all I will be reading the next one soon.

This book is what I would imagine would happen if Braveheart had a baby with Harry Potter. There are strong motives of revenge mixed with a cool, original magic system. The world creation is really well down and I am excited to see what happens in subsequent book. The characters are really well written and it is fun to see their individual personalities come through.

I like the concept, but the characters are cheesy as hell. The MC says some shit that makes me cringe so hard it's almost painful. His ability to focus needs a lot of work. And he's kind of a moron a lot of the time. Just try to remember the cheese. I will continue to give it a shot. It at least hasn't made me angry.

A universe expanding.
I've read all of Oster's books and all of them have been awesome. Great fight scenes, good pacing, varied magics, and what seems to be a a connected universe for his stories. Definitely looking forward to more titles from this author. Pick it up!

Good read!
Good read, not the best story in the world but a fun read nonetheless. If you're looking to read something to pass the time then read this. The author does a good job and knows his genre well.

Humorous as ever 👍
Of course,as with all of Aaron Peter's books,this was ncred only funny and was not lacking in any way, so far I have collected 15 attribute points, a secret skill, and a good old fashioned handshake. Keep up the good work.
Ps, don't black mail me please 😄

Zero to hero
Aaron Oster is a master of the zero to hero story. Rampage kicks off another example of it, with great characters and world building.

Amazing as usual!!
I’ve come to expect nothing less when reading Aaron Osters books! A fun story with loads of magic and adventure. The world building and magic mechanics really make the world come alive!

Delightful Fantasy
This is a straightforward and nicely packaged fantasy, almost like something from the Brothers Grimm. Theres no harems, little profanity, and no twisty side plots. The characters are easy to understand and enjoy. This is a good story for ages 12 and up.
Don’t be fooled by the straight pitch though. There’s a nice polish and depth here, especially on character relationships. There’s also a hidden main plot that looks like it can offer some deeper things, and theres more than one plot twist to keep things interesting. It keeps you reading to see “what happens next” and any book that does that is a winner.
I think we’re going to see some good character progression as the plot unfolds, and even more magic and action than was stuffed into this story (which was quite a lot).
There are some strong design resemblances to the author’s “Rise to Omniscience” series (which is fine - it’s a good series) yet there’s strong differences too, especially in races, landscape, and world. Lastly, this is a delightfully long story, and not some glorified novella. It’s nice to sink into a good long read, which is fairly rare these days.
All in all a great story, easily something to read with family and friends. Definitely recommended.

One of his best
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the ride to omniscience series, but this one seems even better to me. So well developed with plenty of twists, turns, and mysteries to keep you going. 5 out of 5 easily.
