Giovanni Tio liked Homicidal Lemming's review of UpStream: The Knight Rising — Volume 4: Urban LitRPG Fantasy Adventure: "Another 5 star read, exciting, fun, humorous in places, and an all round enjoyable read, just like the previous 3.

Giovanni Tio liked M.'s review of UpStream: The Knight Rising — Volume 4: Urban LitRPG Fantasy Adventure: "In this book, the story got better. The protagonist's intelligence and wisdom are still "unreliable", but a wee bit better. One line of dialog between the characters sum things up well: "“My previous master…” The giant took a deep breath before continui" Read more of this review »
