Quick Change Volume 3: Summoner

Quick Change #3

by C.T. O'Leary

Seth, the Adventurers' Guild, and their temporary allies the Transportation Guild made it through the monstrous wilderness to Askua, marking the first known successful travel from Efril to another country in countless generations. Seth adopts summoner as his secondary class, gaining abilities related to capturing and summoning monsters. Things aren't so happy, though, when they find out that Askua is on the brink of civil war. Seth must try to stay focused on honing his new skills and finding his mother, who is somewhere in this foreign land, a veritable needle in a haystack, as tensions rise between the two dominant factions. Just when it seems like things can't get any more complicated, it turns out that Seth might be on this mission solo.

Note: This novel contains game-like elements similar to those found in tabletop RPGs or MMO videogames, commonly referred to as litRPG or gamelit.

A great continuation of the existing story. The main character continues to abuse the seemingly useless trait in a lot of fun an interesting ways. I know this has been out for a while and I hope that book 4 is coming out soon!

Now we're at book 3 and still in the kingdom of Askua, where two brothers are duking it out for the title of emperor.

Of the three books in the series, I thought book three has the tightest writing and best editing. Unfortunately, the story just didn't work for me. Neither of the two princes are very likeable, and Seth takes it upon himself to figure out which one is in the right (since he's worked for one before discovering his mother is working for the other).

I just couldn't bring myself to care what Seth thinks about either of them, or his self-imposed quest to figure out which one is in the right. To me, this isn't his fight, no matter that his mother is the girlfriend of one of the princes.

And having said that, why doesn't he spend more time with dear old mom? He's come a long way to meet her, but they hardly interact at all.

I really hope book 4 takes us back to magic, adventuring and exploring lands where no man has set foot in before and away from politics.

4/5*

I just can't bring myself to care about the main character at all. The premise of the series "quick change" and how the MC took a bad sounding trait is basically an afterthought.

Instead we have a cookie cutter main character with little to no redeeming qualities (both as a character and as a person) and it's just another meh story with a magic system that doesn't really hold up well.

DNF and giving up on the series.

I originally confused the main character of this book with another one who was a broody jerk. The character in this one may or may not be a jerk, it's been a week or so since I last tried to read this book and I already can't remember enough to care...

So this is not a story.

It is a random bunch of thing happening that are loosely related. It is a cover for a poorly scripted over story that is rather boring. It is focused on a fool that should have been forgotten about as soon as he stepped into this world. I am done with this series.

More trying to be all things to all people, but otherwise, the story was well done, and reading more in this universe would not go amiss. Like the story, no clue where it will go next, but would love to find out.

Liked it

Really enjoyed this one. Lots of twists and turns in the plotline to keep it interesting. Highly recommend this series and can't wait for book four

Great story

Great story, work h all the familiar faces plus new ones. Enjoyed the twists on the latest entry, and will be watching for the next.

[Vincent Bernhardt · Rating 4 out of 5]

Almost as much fun as the first book, this one continues the saga. It's a great and refreshing take on the typical LitRPG.
Go ahead and read all three books. You'll enjoy them.

Not much going on. Couldn’t really care much for the plot and there’s nothing in character development to save the book. Probably won’t pick the next in series.
