Reddit reviews Mortis Operandi: New Hire

175 of the books I have first time read this year were from Kindle Unlimited, so here are the ones that pop out as I scroll through my giant history (only listing first in series to keep this list as short as possible).

I think the best series I have read this year is Fatemarked.

• Fatemarked by David Estes is amazing, I enjoyed it more than a few series that have gotten an insane amount of attention. Estes published all 5 books in this series over 1 year (which means he probably spent years before writing the whole thing) and despite spreading out to follow a lot of characters, it remains a tight story. I did suffer some fatigue and didn't start book 5 after book 4, but in my defense, I read books 1-4 over July 31st thru August 3rd. I do plan to go back, and the author provides a concise summary of the entire previous series before each book making it easy to return.
  
  Other great reads:
  
  
• One Word Kill (Impossible Times) was good, and an entirely different voice from Mark Lawrence. One of the best time travel series.
  
  
• The Dragon Hunter and the Mage was a surprise.
  
  
• Mortis Operandi by Edward Buchanan was fun.
  
  
• Mage Errant: Into the Labyrinth / Jewel of the Endless Erg by John Bierce is of the better wizard school series I have encountered.
  
  
• The Zero Blessing is one I actually read last year, but it is another great wizard school series. I have only read books 1 through 3, there are more books after.
  
  
• Apprentice by Nicholas Hale was good. It goes in some really unexpected directions. As much a story about ensuring a legacy as it is about the title character's exploration of magic.
  
  
• Called (Southern Watch) by Robert J Crane is a Monster of the Week type, but instead of chasing dangers around (like Supernatural), it is a "king of the hill" style (like Buffy the Vampire Slayer). The story goes to some really dark places, that isn't a dare to people, just as a warning.
  
  
• Heroes Road was good. These two books are collectively about 1600 pages, but it felt like 4 or 5 books of content. To quote a reviewer (TikiTumbwo): "Epic Reality."

The second book to my Mortis Operandi series is being released Sept 2nd on Amazon. The series classifies as GameLit, and I've tried to write the book in a way that knowledge of the first isn't as needed. It does spoil the first book however..

Mortis Operandi - New Hire (Book 1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T46B4NM

Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps...

... but none of them ever ask why?

That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace.

he sudden exit of Mortis Operandi's CEO, the company was facing ruin. The goblin Eft was chosen as the new CEO and boss. The previous CEO made promises and contracts that Eft now has to fulfill, and it is causing a lot of trouble. Restoring the ancestral home of Ogre's seems easy enough, what if a thriving town now resides there? Along with facing corporate invasion, Eft must take on the tasks he wouldn't wish upon his worst foe, Customer Service.
