Publisher's Summary

For a boy coming of age and discovering a magical self-reliance and new powers for every occasion, the future is in the cards, in this fantasy adventure.

Arthur lives with his father, a fallen but proud former noble, in Border Village #49, along with the other good folks condemned to toil in service to the Baron. But Arthur has an edge: a stolen heart card that secretly fell into his possession, thanks to a dragon. It’s a priceless source of power for the Baron and the tyrant will kill to get it back. Invaluable, too, to a young man of spellcasting ambitions.

So, at the behest of his father—and to save his own hide—Arthur flees and joins a trader caravan on the kingdom’s backroads. Mile by dusty mile, he gains new skills and learns more about his increasing capabilities. But when he meets Horatio, his sharp-tongued new best friend and a spell card collector himself, Arthur discovers the greater powers to come by building on the Legendary card hidden close to his heart.

One step ahead of the Baron’s hunters, Arthur and Horatio forge on under a sky full of guardian dragons—from the adorably loopy to the mystically wise—and their unflappable riders. Amidst danger, rescue, and friendships with both humans and those creatures of the more leathery variety, Arthur awakens to a newfound confidence . . . and the extraordinary things that can arise from the simplest magics.

The first volume of the hit progression fantasy series, featuring a unique card-based magic system, now available for the first time!

Critic Reviews

“Honour Rae’s All the Skills has everything I love: great writing, an intriguing mystery, and badass dragons. Well, some of them are badass. Some are dweebs, and that makes it even more awesome. And the audio is some of Luke Daniels’s finest work.” —Matt Dinniman, bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl

Awesome

This is easily up in my top gamelit series of all time. It's very well written, the world building is fantastic and most importantly, the story is fun.

A kid from the sticks happens upon an ultra powerful card and keeps it. Slotting it into his body gives him the ability to 'gamify' learning new skills, which could either make him very powerful, or a target.

I did have occasional issues with moral choices the main character made not being the ones that I would have made, but it didn't affect my enjoyment of this book. Do yourself a favour and read this, you won't regret it.

Surprisingly Deep Characters & World Building

I have been through a wide range of genres, and LitRPG can be fun, but this series does a great job of balancing story, world building and the fun idea of attaching levels to character development. You can enjoy the main character’s exploration of the world as he grows up, but still experience his mistakes and luck that allows him to continue his journey. A dash of realism to the decisions someone in his position would make. Very happy to listen to this series.

I've listened to about 300 fantasy books and this one made it to my favourites list.
The mc isn't over powered there is a decent amount of world building and excited to see what happens next and the mc actually has depth to him

Loved every part, from the narration to the story and plot. The premise is original and well-thought, with great character development and a free flowing story line.

I'm begging for more

I have 14 days until book 2 comes out, that short amount of time feels like ages cannot wait for book 2. 100% recommend.
