Gun Blade: A LitRPG Fantasy Sci-fi (Crystal Shards Online Book 4)

A interesting and fun genre shift from the other books that was fun to read. It feels like the author has taken a lot of time to fully flesh out this world so that everything makes sense.As far as the characters are concerned the interactions between the group contine to be one of this author's strongest points. I continue to be eager to watch how everyone develops and grows and enjoy the fact that everyone is well rounded and that nobody is perfect. I look forward to seeing how the burgeoning relationships develop further and if tensions cause problems or if everyone ends up in their happy relationship with their chosen partner(s).Now excuse me while I read everything again and impatiently wait for book 5.

First book was a breath of fresh air (not for the Citadel i guess).Second book kept me entertained.Third book kept me happy yet again.Fourth book was a direct preorder.Characters are well developed, they stay true to their beliefs and main character (MC) does not make silly mistakes (mistakes are okay, just not the silly ones), leap of faiths and other utter nonsense stuff. Starts off very slowly (slow is good) and builds into much much bigger world.One of the most important things for me is not changing the point of view (POV) while telling the story. I like to follow MC all the way without those disruptions - while I understand the necessity in some books I utterly loathe it. That being written, the POV actually changes - but - only between 2 characters and the change is consistent in every book and the chapters are short and non-intrusive, something like "hey, while you are doing this and that.. this happened, just FYI".Every book is set in an unique (uniqueish) enviroment and the fights are mostly unique as well. Can't really write anything more meaningful without spoiling it all. Go read it. It's great.

So we are book 4 into crystal shards online which if you read book 3 raised the stakes even more. We get more questions then answers but the book has a way of grabbing you for you to desire to know more. I normally get burned out by this time but crystal shards online still feels fresh for me. 5/5 especially due to mc character growth!

This book was an awesome addition to the series. Loved the switch of worlds "zones" and game mechanics. Loved also how the book finally released some information on certain events. Highly recommend this book and cant wait to read book 5.

This is definitely one of those series that has geeky nostalgia tucked in at strategic places. I've been following along for a while and highly recommend it .

Pretty good. This series took a down turn with book 3 but it's getting better. Really want it to end though

Excellent addition to this already wonderful series. The action is very face paced and it feels as if you cover so much of the story quickly that I wish it would just slow down sometimes but other then that it’s amazing. Can’t wait to read more!!!!

This book is great and it’s updated super fast I’m extremely impressed with the authors work and I personally love this as I play a lot of mmo rpgs
