From readers

What readers are saying

an adrenaline rush

Picked up on a whim and I couldn't put it down. I like how competent and ruthless Neo was. The action and story building was good. An editor to make everything flow better would be my only critique.

Good plot and character development

This a great series. I look forward to the next arc!

Unexpectedly good

Bought the book to support the author, I won't deny I wasn't expecting much from a first time author. But I am wrong! It's a fun read, clearly inspired by modern Japanese fiction, with a pinch of video game love. If you're a souls and isekai fan, this is for you. Baptista creates his own universe and places the story in a very relatable setting. His style is admittedly a bit raw yet, but it's his first book, this is good stuff. Have a read, it's really fun.

The second book is better!

Voidstrider series is fun read. Baptista's style is evolving and dynamic, it reads easily and the story will appeal to any fans of dark fantasy, video games and manga/anime. There's a few sneaky pop culture easter eggs for the careful reader and great consideration for building momentum. Baptista may be writing his first books, but he's off to a good start! I don't want to spoil the story, but I was delighted with how Baptista took the story forward. You will have to see for yourself.
