Synopsis of Arcane Pathfinder Book 1: Arcane Magic

Samantha is a young attorney who is transported to an alternate reality in her sleep across the Void and time. She soon finds the world she wakes up in is controlled by an all-powerful System with mechanics similar to the fantasy games she played back on Earth.

After a brutal introduction to her new reality, Samantha (Sam) is given a class explicitly curated by the enigmatic System.

Equal parts artist, survivor, explorer, and battle junkie, Sam's only limitation is her lack of knowledge about her new magical powers and the System controlling her new reality. A limitation she is quickly overcoming as she explores and battles her way across the landscape, learning and improving along the way!

Follow Sam’s adventures as she explores the fantastic and deadly new world she has found herself in.

Synopsis of Arcane Pathfinder Book 2: The Beastlands

After recovering from her battle with the evolved being, Sam finds that what she did damaged not only her body but also her soul. Oh, and to top it all off, she isn't exactly human, and she may have an infinite number of siblings! Having grown up an orphan, that revelation broached a lot of questions. Unfortunately, she doesn't have time to dwell on what she has done to herself because the church has finally found Nara and immediately attacks the group, only to find out what a pissed-off Pathfinder who only recently ripped an evolved creature apart can do.

Follow Sam as she laughs, battles, drinks, and stumbles her way across Hallista in this next installment of the Arcane Pathfinder series. We will see how the MC handles things her own way, no matter what is thrown at her. Is her way the right way? Nope. But it is the fun way!

This book features A raid event, a seductive elf, more bandits, a wild night, epic battles, quick battles, lore galore, an ancient succubus, camping, exploring, loot, an ancient dungeon, and, of course, Sam blowing herself up...multiple times!

    So far, very good. The setting is well established, starting simple but making the laws of this world clear. The MC’s initial fight showed rather than told how the magic system functions. I especially liked her class choice as it has a lot of room to grow. The MC is a breath of fresh air as she isn’t some dumb kid or underachieving otoku, but a very successful and ambitious professional who has built her own law firm. She’s got some battle junkie in her, but fights intelligently with a solid presence of mind.  She has OP potential, but is a small fry in a dangerous world and takes massive mental and physical abuse, and she’s quickly disillusioned about the brutal reality of this magic world.

    The story is great, the survival aspect is really good and from what I can tell is pretty accurate.  The system is really good, while as a concept it's not unique, the author has made it really interesting with plenty of questions to be had. Main character wise, she's a fun character with a good motivation and a good drive for exploration, the fact she has a more neutral class (by neutral I mean not purely combat or support focused) is definitely a plus in my books.  The only real issues I've noticed would be some minor grammar mistakes and, the sometimes confusing flow of events/thoughts of the MC, though the latter issue is rather easy to get around and only really ocurrs a couple times.  Overall a great story and I'm excited to see where it goes
