Interesting and well presented

Revisado: 01-26-24

Enjoyed the side bars as much as the main story. Conveyed clearly and articulately with relatable anecdotes.

slow start, decent story

Revisado: 08-25-23

The first 2 hours or so struggled to grab me. However, the story started to pick up after that. Some issues are resolved without explanation, which can be irksome. Overall, it's a decent story. I also choose to believe that the "continent" is one of the sub worlds managed by one of the dungeon cores inside CAL from the Divine Dungeon Universe.

No more narrator

Revisado: 07-17-23

I'm going to start with my issues first, then get to my positive feedback. FIRST, that synopsis was terrible. It had me dreading this entry. First impressions are important. SECOND, I have given the narrator the benefit of the doubt for the last several books, but no more. It is a constant break of immersion when he can't keep his voices straight. This happened at the very first line of the book, where he mixed up Tim's line for Dawn's voice, then started talking like CAL instead for all of Tim's lines. That kind of lack of care is irritating to a long-time listener, especially when it happens to multiple characters. I appreciate the soundboard, but I am not willing to listen to him anymore, so I will be getting physical copies from now on. OK, that's the bad stuff. Now, for my actual opinion. I enjoyed this story far more than the last two books. Plenty happened that actually felt important to the literal world building of Eternia, and Artorian actually has some semblance of control and feels like himself again. The jokes and references are back, but I've come to accept them for the chuckles they give me, though it feels like he is daring people to sue him sometimes. Overall, I enjoyed this entry more than I thought I would and look forward to the next. I will be getting the physical copies of all the books narrated by Pirhalla in this series and will only listen to the Baldree books next time I reread the series. Toodles!

I love this series

Revisado: 06-09-23

...But it does have issues down the line. Every book has a great underlying story and beautiful moments between likable characters. But the author leans heavily on jokes and references down the line. It's very balanced in the first four books, but it becomes a very real problem that gets worse with every additional title. It's worth it, I'm still invested, but it is a problem I hope will be addressed.

Finding the new path

Revisado: 04-14-23

I had no idea where this series was going after the last book, and apparently, neither did Artorian. This book was mainly Artorian trying to figure out what he wanted now that the major fires were put out and how to have fun with a system that gave him too much. Ultimately, 13 hours of indecision leading up to the setup for the next book. Fun enough, but don't expect a lot of progression from this entry.

A great start!

Revisado: 04-05-23

I'm looking forward to the future of this series. Varies entire crew is incredibly endearing, I even like the crazy one. Good pacing and a completely different feel from Cradle. I'm hoping I will like this series as much as its predecessor.

I wanted to like it

Revisado: 03-30-23

The setting was good, and the story had potential. However, it ultimately fell flat. Most of the 3 books repeat the same things every 2 minutes with actual story progression sprinkled here and there. Drazen lord, my shaping is different, elementals, don't get caught sympathizing with the elementals. There, I just gave you 90% of the MC's inner thoughts throughout the 3 books. The MC is completely static. He doesn't learn from past mistakes while he ignores and lies to his friends. You barely get to know any other characters, and it's like the author is afraid you will forget the overarching mysteries if they don't mention them every paragraph.

Enjoyable, but...

Revisado: 02-21-23

I liked the story overall, and Travis Baldree is a great narrator. But I need to lower the score for that ending. Cliffhangers like that show a lack of confidence in selling sequels based on the stories' true merits and honestly should be illegal.

New game +

Revisado: 02-17-23

One day Artorian will be able to stay an old man. It is nice to go back to Eternia after the last few books. Regarding the narrator, now that he has gotten used to his roles, and I've gotten used to his voice, he is very good. Also, let me just say that he has convinced me that using a soundboard should be standard for all narrators.

An extended commercial break

Revisado: 02-12-23

This book is filler. That's the long and short of it. It's an in between arcs setting meant to set up the next story... Welp, here's hoping the new arc is good.
