Sentenced to Troll 5
In the wake of tragedy, a new hope emerges.
Chod has obtained an item with the potential to turn the tide of battle if it can only be unlocked.
To unleash the power of the mighty green dragon, first, it must be hatched—a feat unheard of for generations. For any chance of success, Chod needs a location rich in life aura, and there are precious few.
While new allies march toward Seascape, Chod and company head to Wandermere, the fabled land of centaurs and Mythos’s most ancient forest. The life aura within may be dense, but sinister monsters have escaped from the shadow realms with the intention of overtaking the forest.
Chod must save the centaurs’ ancestral homeland. Or watch it topple, the first of many.

Great story
The third book, does a great job in let the characters in the grow and fill out more. You can identify with them and the story they tell. Nice twist at rhe end as well

Couldn't put it down
This book had me torn. Do I read it now or wait for audio. I couldn't wait and loved it. It was so good. What else is in store for Chod and friends?

Mediocre
The 2 main problems I have with this series are:
1. The use of first person, present tense is sometimes difficult to follow. It seems like Chod has1 action for every other character's 2-3. It really seems like the author forgets that Chod should also do things because Chod is the narrator of the story. I get tired of yelling, "DO SOMETHING!!!" at the book every chapter or so.
2. This is supposed to be a rehab program. A significant portion of the participants have decided to be evil, even worse than in RL. Earlier in the series one of the characters is lauded by the program director for only attacking the 'bad' races instead of everyone. Yep, teaching a violent offender to only kill those of different races, nothing could go wrong with that. Now we have characters who are actively evil, working for demons to subjugate the world. What are the consequences? They get more power more quickly, great lesson. All that happens is that some of the players (mostly Chod) think less of them. If I was the comptroller I would remove all funding and permission to use convicts for the program.
Both of these buttons were pushed hard in this one. There is also a little zinger from Chod's past at the end that just seems useless. I don't know if I'll be getting the next one. Tom out

October 1, 2022Great story line
Your writing is very good but you need to spell check more and please don't use eviscerate to describe inanimate objects because they don't have visera I am so tired of authors using this word to describe the destruction of something that doesn't have internal organs

Let’s get ready to rumble!
The Chod Squad continues to spread the word and build an alliance of heroes ready to fight the threat of the necromancer. Romping and stomping his way through the championships Chod builds his reputation and works his way closer to the final conflict in book six.

Really good fun
Volume 5 of Chod the forest trolls adventures are just as much fun to read as the previous 4, with characters old and new featuring, as the build up to the war everyone knows is coming, carries on relentless.

Trollish to the max,in the best way
I’ve got a soft spot in my reading for these types of adventures. Well written with interesting characters. Kinda makes me want to play these style games.

Keeps your interest.
From the beginning I was tied into this series. It made me want to just keep reading. I didn't want to put it down. One of the best series I have found in a long time.

The battle never ended
This was an amazing adventure with our gang joining a tournament just to be able to find allies and talk to the leaders of the town. Now I understand the whole story. I love Flubs. He is so cute.

Excellent storytelling
I’m engrossed in Chod and Tayrn’s story. I can’t wait too see how it unfolds. LITRPG at its best. Love Limmy too.

So close to the end
So I waited until I read the entire series before leaving a review. This was great. It's like Sword Art Online but middle earth. Highly recommend!
