About this listen
Meddling gods. A magical card system. An apocalypse no one could have predicted.
Jake is working at the neighborhood market under his apartment when the world ends. He expected nuclear war, a computer virus, or even climate change burning everyone to a crisp to bring about the downfall of civilization. But cruel and arbitrary gods from another world? Who would have guessed that?
When these cruel gods shuffled Earth like a deck of cards, nothing was in the same place anymore. Monsters, dungeons, and magical items appear scattered across the globe. And suddenly, everyone has access to a new, strange magical card system that gives them magical powers.
Jake, wasting his day slacking off in the cooler, as he usually did, found himself alone in a completely new and very dangerous world. Can he learn to survive? Can he collect enough cards and create a good enough deck to fight back against the monsters that have overtaken his former home? And why are these strange people that look a lot like elves knocking on the door of the market he is hiding in and asking to buy some of his goods?
The gods may have stacked the deck against him, but Jake just might have a few cards up his sleeve that will help him survive.

One of the best
I slept on Jake’s Magical Market for so long because I wrongly assumed it would be a bit a guy in a magical market doing shopkeep things. Boy was I wrong. Do not pass over this book if you like the genre, this series is one of the greats, I cannot wait for book 2

This book is fantastic!
The book is an epic fantasy series in a single book! It begins like 'System Apocalypse' meets 'All The Skills'. And then gets sooo much better! With an epic adventure reminiscent of 'Magician' by Raymond E. Feist and Xanthia like the 'Cradle' series. I can not recommend this book more!

very good story
Jumps around a bit, kinda like starting a quest then starting another and another but not finishing the first ones.

Lived it
I had a lot of fun listening to this. Only took me 3 days to finish. Even now I find myself remembering parts if the story as if they were my own memories. Haven't had that happen before. I am looking forward to the continuation of the story.
Only issue I had was a lot of words and sometimes sentences were repeated unnecessarily. Felt awkward at times. This is fine though. Your first book. No way it would be perfect and I am actually quite impressed at it being your first.

great story but could use a little polish.
The story was very interesting and kept me hooked the whole time, but a few times the story only progressed due to the order Jake used his abilities, even when he obviously should have performed a different way that would match ability and character growth, but didnt due to plot progression.

Why is it always the end?
Part 1 I loved very much.
part 2 had what felt like a good arc but the narrative did a lot to emphasise how important his friendships had become and yet we didn't get to see them. i felt like the author did too much to set up for another book and not enough to finalise the main ark.
I'm cool with power creep but especially right at the end I got the impression our character could finish his goal at will, having circumvented his most recent obstacle. Could have done it with the same tools he'd just used.

An easy listen.
Travis Baldree does a great job of narrating and will forever be the voice of Jake. It's an easy listen and takes minimal effort to follow the story, but is also well written enough to keep your attention. There is a section in the middle of the book that is a bit long-winded but overall I highly recommend this book to fans of the genre.
