I’m a long haul driver. I love this series and I find myself doing a seated happy dance every time you upload another book in this series. Thank you very much !
Otto is such an amazing character. He may be my favourite of all times. What a bad-ass, and he's so refreshingly logical. Why do people always try to pick a fight with him... it's just the most terrible idea imaginable. Yet I won't complain since I love to listen to them fail spectacularly. By now, I am convinced that you are incapable of writing a book that isn't awesome. As always, thanks for sharing :)
Otto is such an awesome guy. Bringing his brother and mother together like that actually brought a tear to me eye. Brought me back to 2013 when i came home from being wounded in Chechnya to see my mom for the first time in over a year, hadn't heard her voice in almost 6 months. There i was, in my wheelchair at the baggage caracal and my 2 #1 ladies come sprinting through the corridor. My future wife, Zoey who had moved into my room at my moms house while i was gone, and my momma. It felt like my heart and soul just got thrust back into my body. Doctors orders and the national guard MP escort be damned i jumped up and met them halfway. Ended up tearing a bunch of stitches, bleeding on my dress blues, and causing a couple guardsmen to shit their pants but, the LAST thing theyd ever do is attempt to get between an E5 Force Recon Marine scout sniper and the women he loves more than anything in the universe. I looked back and both of them were wiping tears away with their sleeves. They rolled my chair over to me and as i leaned forward to sit down i whispered, "pussies." They loved that. They couldn't hold their resolve and started laughing. "Youre one of a kind Sergeant." The ranking man said and squeezed my shoulder, they grabbed my bags and walked them all the way to my moms car. Good guys.
I was overjoyed to wake up this morning to a notification that book 5 has been uploaded . 🙃 Having listened to the previous 4 books in the last week I was beginning to experience withdrawals wondering when the next book would be coming 😁 thank you sir.
I was in the exact same position, spent all weekend wondering what I was going to listen to today to get me through the day. When I opened RUclips this morning was ecstatic to see book 5 up!
I have never prayed for someone's fictional mother as hard as I pray for Otto's. I feel like the last if his humanity lives in her. Once again, a wonderful book.
I’m a 6th generation prostitute working long hours typically leaned against a wall or possibly a sign post, maybe even another worker of ill repute. I can’t tell you how much I love listening to these books between jobs. Or even during a long job on my knees where the client doesn’t mind headphones I like to listen in on whatever ole Otto is doing. Brilliant writing.
Came upon ur channel while driving a truck, more than addicted to the series spend all my time possible to listen to it, great story, can't wait for more adventures of Ato, hope you will not let us wait too much for next one ! Im not a native english speaker yet understand everything perfectly, salute !
@@JamesEWisherbooks I’m honestly of the mind that your works are far better than the aforementioned titles. Sure, they’re good in their own way. But your captivating way of storytelling just makes these books far superior IMO. I’m hopeful for some producers at HBO, Amazon, etc. to stumble upon your work and offer you some deal for television. Much deserved. Good day to you!!
Just finished book 4, in a country where traffic is horrendous, your audio book makes the trip worthwhile! An hour's drive is like 10 minutes listening to your book. I love how you write, it's a perfect balance between world building and story. A stark contrast to GRRM's books where travelling takes 3-5 chapters. I love these kinds of stories where it's pretty much straight to the point without being boring. I'm looking forward to listening to this book and others of your writing as well. Thank you James!
That's very kind, thank you. A famous author once said that he tries to leave out the parts people skip or skim. I've always taken that advice to heart.
Not much fiction takes my attention. But this....this is gold. I look forward to the rest of your work. I only bombard with comments because i almost only use youtube for entertainment. Sitting here stuck to one video is somewhat frustrating as i could read your books 50 times faster than your reader. Not to say your reader is not phenominal. He is...undescribable. do not lose him
Thank you again for the opportunity to continue this line week after week. Even though it's coming to the end you have been quickly becoming my favorite author I have found in years, so I'm sure you will have something great next. From your series to stand alone storyline, I really enjoy how you write. Thank you and have a great week.
Lmaooo I just love Corina, it's refreshing to see smb so impulsive and energetic alongside Otto, also am a huge fan of Hans, they both just seem like very enjoyable and caring people
I accidentally hit the 👎😵💫. Phone was in pocket and stuff happens. Realized it and corrected it to 👍. Hope it didn’t mess up the algorithm 😑 Have enjoyed the character development throughout. Falling in love with Otto’s apprentice. Up and coming master 😉 Now to restart from book one in search of any clues I may have missed. By the time I finish, I bet the next installment will be out. Awesome stuff… I hold your work with one of my favorites, Asimov. His work was fewer in words, but you equal him in creativity and development 👍👍👍
I love your foreshadowing skills. Just enough subtlety to keep me guessing but not too much to make it confusing. I wish more people i knew read books or even listened to audiobooks. But sadly with apps like tiktoc i wouldnt be surprise if in another 50 years books were only in museums and things like fiction novels were banned for misinformation. Its a sad future. But has been projected by nearly every author i have read. Especially orwell. Godspeed good sir and thank you so much for your audiobooks. The fact they are free is the only reason i chose them. Thank you again.
Auto: *Breaks Geneva Convention* "Huh, this is bad? Yeah this is bad....but hey at least I'm not Stephen." Stephen: *commits several horrific war crimes* "Holy shit, Glad my little brother is on my side, probably can't abuse him anymore tho. 👀" This series is insane lmao
Calling him Auto made me think of the movie cars 🚗 replacing all characters with automobiles. With Auto plowing thru traffic chanting beep beep motherf*ckers
Each episodic story makes you crave the next one in the series to see if your own suppositions about the tale come to fruition..bravo..and many thanks for the journey
Thank you James. I found book 5 last night and just finished. I'm looking forward for book 6. The restrictions on my body and my wallet leave me little to do. I truly entertained and mind stimulated by the story you have created. Thank you for time well spent. Steve
Yes!!!! I am so excited for this. I get so into these books I finish them in a few settings. I am invested into Otto. It’s nice to see his transition from weak boy to a leader.
Came to Portal Wars after the Soul Bound Saga. I really love your writing style and how you manage to allude to details just enough to let the imagination fill in the rest. The story has been amazing so far and I can't wait to dig into this book next.
I enjoy your books little brother they are very good I'm 72 and I enjoy fantasy novels I have all my life and this is one of the better series that I've got to enjoy thank you for being talented enough to produce something like this keep up the good work little brother your books will be here long after you are gone and people will enjoy them
Really enjoying your books, the main character has no problem doing what needs to be done , I kinda wish our own politicians had the balls to do the same
A fantastic series, this has improved my mood 10 fold. I have ADHD and struggle to find something to just, do, but listening to a story that takes all day keeps my mindset in place all day, and increases my productivity :)
i have listened to 4 of these in as many days and i am planning on purchasing physical copies of the whole series just to show love to the author. these books are incredible and deserve endless recognition. Well rounded and dynamic characters and a world oerflowing with charm and mystery. thanks so much for these Mr. James E Wisher.
You're books are amazing! This is the second series of yours that I'm listening to. Remember always that you are valid valuable unique and irreplaceable and you matter more than you know! take care!
I find it's interesting at the audacity of Otto's enemies. They conspired against his land and now that it backfired they're acting like he and his people are doing something wrong. Smh... So they should have just let everyone roll them over... Keep pushing Otto!!!
This entire series was really good, I read a couple of your books and they are freaking awesome I really do capture my imagination and I’m going to let you know that you are officially in my top 10 keep writing OK and keep posting

Looking forward to starting Book 6, but sad because that will leave only book 7. I walk 2 miles to work each day and back in an urban environment and these books have made my walks refreshing and enjoyable.
I just had to say I really enjoy and appreciate your work! I drive tractors most days, and your books really make me look forward to my next days work 😂 Thank you for everything you do!!!

I too drive truck and very much enjoy my time listening
I three drive trucks and love listening while driving.
Not long haul but about 8 hrs a day.
I drive as well and have spent the last week or 2 binging all his series 😆
I drive alot also so I love these audiobooks also

Reminds me of Skyrim lmfao. Every bandit, bear, etc wants to pick a fight with the guy who just killed a dragon
@@thegreatpotato6098 So true 😂
I concur. Otto is my new favorite protagonist. All he wants is peaceful study, and loyalty. Such simple desire. Woah to those in his way. SMH

OMG THANK YOU FOR THE UPLOAD!!!! I'm stuck on a 12hr shift this is gonna make my hole day
One of these books makes my hole day too 😁
Seven hours of it anyway. : )

Awesome. Always great to have another truck drive on the channel.
Also,. The light motion in the cover art is awesome. It's just fantastic 😊
Thank you for posting the next one did not have anything at all to look forward to lately, now i can escape again to another life
You're welcome.
What I appreciate about this book is that the characters don't just make obvious stupid decisions to move the story along.
I try my best to make the characters act in logical ways. Of course, they also make mistakes since no one is perfect.
I’ve only just now come across your work. It is top notch. Thank you for your work especially in these times where a distraction is often necessary.
You're welcome. And I agree, distraction is very necessary right now.
You are amazing thankyou soo mutch i just finished book 4 this series has been great so far
Glad you're enjoying it.
Such an engaging story, and I love how the chapters blend together so seamlessly. Fantastic job by the narrator as well!
Thanks for another great upload, have been looking forward to this all week 👍
Thank you sir! I've been waiting all week for this.
Thanks! Please dont stop writing. Fantastic work i listen to this with my kids and we love it.
I don't plan to stop. Thanks very much for the tip.
Each book in this series has only gotten better and better, I'm excited for this one!!
Glad you're enjoying it.
Thank you so much for this great saga. Just Finished this book.
I can't help but picturing Otto as Merlin from the TV series and Wolfric as the guy who plays Arthur!
That's a cool idea, though Otto is a bit rougher around the edges than Merlin.
I could totally see that . Now I can't unsee it ha
I couldn't agree more lol its a determined Merlin no doubt lol
Cheers dude, I can see it too noe 😂😂 Thank goodness it's a good idea 😊😊😊🎉
These are some great books, Sir this series is on my favorite list wit the Witcher an game of thrones. I have been bingeing portal wars like crazy
Wow, that's high praise. Thank you.
Thoroughly addicted to these books. I don’t want them to end.
👍... the flow of the story and the comedic shots... great book
Thanks.

Lmaooo I just love Corina, it's refreshing to see smb so impulsive and energetic alongside Otto, also am a huge fan of Hans, they both just seem like very enjoyable and caring people
I made them both that way on purpose, as a balance to Otto's darker personality.

I'm not quite that pessimistic. I think there will always be demand for long form fiction even if it doesn't take the for a novel.

Keep pushing Otto!!!

Right
Amazing world and wonderful characters. I loved my saga binge and definitely would recommend to friends to have a listen. Thx for writing this story.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Just finished Book 5 and I must say I enjoyed the far off adventure and world building of the new continent. I struggle to know what was happening on the mainland though...haha....a great adventure filled with new canon and a host of new characters. Otto is a unique protagonist and he is surrounded by others who become more fully fleshed out in each novel, if they survive.

I started listening to this series only last week, and am already on book 5! It's such an enthralling series of books!

It must be that he is still so young as to why everyone underestimates him. Even other wizards dont respect him as they should.
Well done. That Book makes a lot of people happy.
Thanks a lot for this series I love it
Glad to hear it.
Great work. I'm late to the party on your series but happy to be along for the ride. Thank you.
