if I had a Nickle for every time murphs played a dark brooding edgelord sword guy I'd have two nickles. but um not complaining. so far this might be my favorite squad yet.

brilliant

my only complaint is the episodes don't release more often! stellar performances from everyone. Brennan as a fox isn't something I knew I needed.

love this series

been listening since the first book, as always another crazy time with the merry band of pirates. r.c. Bray once again brings the characters to life with a great performance.

I hope if they ever make an amazon prime series out of this book series they let r.c. do the voice for our favorite beer can

50 chapters of leveling.

Revisado: 11-10-20

Disappointing.

First 2 chapters wrap up the previous cliffhanger. the next 50 chapters are spending points from leveling or ascending. sure theres an imp fight in there and running from some bugs. But no actual story progression until the final chapter, which ends in another cliffhanger. Not the first time this series has done this either and it's pretty frustrating.

Kong, either cut down the leveling segments from padding your run time, or write more story to balance the hours of endless droning about leveling stats.

put it on prime

another knockout performance for RC bray. wish there was a little more resolution or interaction between Adam's, joe and perkins. Otherwise though a great read.

amazon, why is this not already an Amazon Prime television series?

Another roller coaster of a story.

Revisado: 11-29-17

Loved it. Sanderson is a mutant who's super power is writing excellent complex fantasy. I love reading about Dalanars past and seeing what becomes of him. Teft is one of my favorite characters, while his chapters are few and short they are very powerful. Shallan continues to morph into one of the most complex and intriguing female leads in fantasy.

I only have one negative thing to say about this edition of the stormlight archive. Not enough Rock and Lopen. I was really hoping at least for a bit more in the epilogue after rocks epic moment...but I guess I'll just have to wait for the next book.

A great adventure

Revisado: 10-27-17

I am not usually into these types of litrpgs, where the world is a game and everyone knows it. But this story is a great take on this type of world.

Well written, funny, smart with lots of action and twists. its a hefty read at 25 hours as well. Shout out to the sound editors and the narrator who do a great job bringing the story to life.

I, for one, welcome our new green overlords and eagerly await the next book.

Better than the first. But not by much.

Revisado: 10-14-17

first, thank you for stopping the "mommy/daddy" dynamic of the twins. It was creepy. Though mama and papa are only marginally less cringy.

Still to vague. Rather than take the time to flush out the story and characters to get a decent sized book, it just feels rushed or incomplete. storylines or backstories get smashed into the main story in such a hamfisted manner, I keep having to go back to listen again to see if i missed some conversation that would make these character interactions make sence. I didn't. For a book series that's supposed to be centered around sentient dungeons this book seems to be way more about the random npcs of the town. nobody of consequence seems to ever be in real danger of the dungeon. I for one do not care about the kindly human blacksmith who b.s's his way into teaching life lessons. (by the way, to anyone who ever would think that using a half forged sword to block a fully forged sword to teach a point as a life lesson. dont. you will die. that was a terrible idea and a stupid plot point.) Nor do I particularly care about the various depressing sob stories of adventurers that I want to see the dungeon eat!

the best part of this book is the dungeon to dungeon combat, which is something other books in this genre have not done, yet. but its only like the last 10% of the book.

also, for the love of God. Never name an incredibly powerful being in your own book after yourself Jeffery "Falcon" Logue. I could not care less about the authors own narcissism. that character by any other name would be an alright addition. But the author naming the character after himself? It's insultingly bad writing. You could easily just have used a different name. OR better yet you could NOT include your nickname as your nomme de plume, and guess what? We would NEVER HAVE KNOWN THE DIFFERENCE. Imagine if in the last book of the "song of ice and fire" series suddenly had a super amazing warrior by the name of George Martin who shows up, takes control of the white walkers and dragons, kills the other characters and wins the game of thrones by virtue of his super incredible awesomeness. It would be as much B.S. as this.

To summarize: too short, lazy writing, authors own narcissism on display, not worth the price.

Short, expensive, vague, and cringworthy.

Revisado: 08-22-17

after reading dungeon born book 1 I was hungry for some more litrpg novels of the sentient dungeon variety. In looking around for similar novels I found the slime dungeon, which was being heavily used as a comparison online. The slime dungeon, as I understand had begun it's writing process before dungeon born and is widely considered to be the more original story. I was excited to see what a book that took this long to release would bring. (especially since the second dungeon born book is already available on kindle) I decided to check it out and was quite dissapointed.

First, even as a new release, a 25 dollar price tag for a book this short is already a mark against it. as an audiobook I'd hope for it to at least make it through a work day.

Second, I find the actual story severely lacking in details and can't seem to decide whether to be satirical litrpg comedy or gritty fantasy epic. The relationship between the dungeon and his sprite feels so hamfisted and awkward. The few jokes in there dialogue are weird and oddly oversexualized for a magical being speaking to a sentient gemstone. The whole mommy/daddy thing is super cringy.

Third. The villain never seems to be a sincere threat. His convoluted plan makes no sense when he could have easily just waltzed to the boss room and accomplished his goals within the first 5 chapters. it's sheer dumb luck (i.e. deus ex machina) that the one person who could stop him was included the day he decided to enact his "master plan".

There are good parts. The slime evolutions are interesting. but not a lot of jokes. not a lot of action. not much detail in general about the world and how magic works there.

In all I enjoyed it, but I know theirs a book out there that goes into much better detail about pretty much everything and has a much better natural evolution of the characters and the story arc. guess I'll just have to wait for dungeon born book 2.
