The Accidental Archmage: Book One - Ragnarok Rising Kindle Edition

Updated Edition. September 2020.

An epic fantasy in another world.

What if you fell through a crack in reality and find yourself in a strangely familiar world? Like those people disappearing in plain sight you’ve read about.

A world full of magic, Earth’s mythological beings, lost civilizations, and people from its primitive and brutal past? Where gods play games among themselves, with the fate of mortal men as pawns. A land where a sword is deadlier than a five-inch-thick contract drawn by a hotshot lawyer. Would you survive?

That’s Tyler West. Alone, lost, and bewildered, the three moons in the sky made it clear he wasn’t on Earth anymore. It’s not a game. It’s real. And there’s no coffee, pizza, fries, or his favorite show on HBO.

Fantasy and science fiction have always been my favorites. Especially those from the era of dime novels and genre magazines, the time when both were still deemed fringe. Those stories spark the imagination and bring a reader to worlds and concepts beyond his reality. Though I have to admit, reality is fast catching up with science fiction.

- Fantastic

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2018

A whirlwind adventure with well developed characters based upon multiple pantheons of mythology. What is not to love? The first book of the series was well-written and well-rounded, but this book is priceless. The deities were relatable by their personalities and it helped to understand their motivations. Truly a marvelous piece of literature.

- Turning legends on their heads, then shake to see what comes out!

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2018

There is evidence of solid research scattered through the books, woven ins so that it enhances the narrative, even drives it forwards, rather than weighing it down as so often happens when such things are attempted. Fun interactions between characters, an engaging story, and legends coming out of the woodwork. look forward to more!

- Consistently entertaining

The research into all the details used in these books must have been more than a single person could accomplish in a year.

Reviewed in Canada on May 11, 2018
Slow start turned into a great read for me. You lost one star cause it's Hel not Hela. I get author liberties but it's like changing Hades to Hade. Hel is an important deity in the Norse pantheon. Hel she even is the ruler of her own entire realm where even Odin has no power over her.(kek kek kek bad pun your Odin would be proud of ;))

3.0 out of 5 stars It feels like two books sandwiched together
Reviewed in Canada on March 23, 2018

This book started well but then got hijacked in the middle. The first part of the book is about a young man's coming of age journey (which I thoroughly enjoyed) and then it changes into a magic conspiracy story. It feels like two books sandwiched together. I'm not buying the second book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good version of the classic modern person trapped in a fantasy world trope
Reviewed in Canada on September 29, 2017
The characters are likeable and interesting, and there's a good arc of growth of power that keeps it from becoming too much wish fulfillment. The opposition is similarly well characterized with motivation that seems natural.
I would have preferred a different formatting of the ebook, but it wasn't too annoying for me to continue reading. The footnotes at the end of the chapters defining terms and names are definitely a nice useful touch.
All in all an enjoyable fantasy adventure, with an interesting protagonist and a nice twist on the classic premise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magic, adventure and Gods!!
Reviewed in India on September 29, 2020

Known elements of fantasy world are masterfully written to create a wholesome read. Action is free flowing, isekai trope and subsequent world building is well handled. My only gripe is that the varied mythic references mentioned in the end did not have a link while reading the story. Would have to go to the last page which is mighty inconvenient.
Looking forward to reading the next in the series.

I liked it. It was a good read with plausible theme and settings. The quickness in which the author placed the protagonast may have been too swift or "Poof here it is" but it worked. I appreciated the fact that he was just a regular guy, going about his business, and finds himself ensnared in events where he has no control.
I look forward to the sequal.

4.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable read overall.
Reviewed in France on February 27, 2018

Based on the suggestion from LitRPG books, I expected some form of gameLit, but to my great surprise, no. It's more of a classic portal fantasy, where a normal person from our world drops thru a tear in reality to an alternate world in which, ages ago, all of the world's magical creatures and pantheons took refuge because magic was becoming quickly depleted on Earth.

The first book focuses on the Norse pantheon and their interactions with the hero, who stumbles upon an ancient ruin... and finds Clarke-tech (the kind of tech that's mostly indistinguishable from magic), making him an archmage. Which means he's now the perfect guy to use in divine games.

The main character isn't quite entirely believable, but he's hugely sympathetic, and the research on the nordic background is good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hoping for more story in next book
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2021

I gave this book a four because I feel it needs a good editing. The beginning is interesting. It has good characters and a really good story but it gets bogged down by all of the chatter.
The writer has created a good wonderful magical new world. They h ave tied in classic elements and yet leave a lot of mystery and wonder at the same time, but I felt the story got very heavy and slowed down by all of the philosophy and by the main character and minor characters explanations,and their long winded ponderings. Yes some of That is interesting and is necessary but I feel there is way too much. It could easily be edited out to provide an easier flow and more interesting read.
I will read the 2nd book but I am hoping for less philosophy and more story
