About this listen
It's hard to find a lesser man than Apropos: a con man, a knave, a scalawag...and those are his finer points. This time, Apropos winds up a stranger in a strange land called "Chinpan," populated by those who speak a different language and live by a code of honor, neither of which Apropos can comprehend. And yet it is here that he begins to examine his life and question whether he can aspire to become more than the hard-bitten cynic he's always been. He may yet be able to find a happy ending among a gentle people who are willing to accept him, faults and all, and he acquires a teacher who may even be able to set him on a road to true enlightenment.
But events conspire to pull Apropos in unexpected and dangerous directions, for his presence in Chinpan does not go unnoticed. What does the mysterious criminal organization known as the Forked Tong want with him? How do their plans tie in or conflict with the criminal Skang Kei family, and their enigmatic leader, Skang Kei Ho? What of the Mingol hordes? And what will be the fate of the Chin clan, including Double Chin, Cleft Chin, Kit Chin, and little Kit Chinette?

Story
Apropos is a rogue, a rascal, a scoundrel, a cheat...and those are his good points. Lame of leg but fast of wit, the only reason Apropos doesn't consider chivalry dead is because he's not yet through with it. An orphan with a chip on his shoulder, Apropos, travels to the court of the good King Runcible, with three goals in mind: to find his father, seek retribution for the death of his mother, and to line his own pockets.

Owen Deathstalker, last of the infamous warrior Clan, always considered himself more of a writer than a fighter, preferring his history books to making any actual history with a sword. But books won't protect him from Her Imperial Majesty Lionstone XIV, who just outlawed and condemned Owen to death, without any explanation, reason, or warning. No wonder she's called the Iron Bitch. Now, on the run from Imperial starcruisers, shady mercenaries, and just about everyone else in the Empire, Owen's options are limited.

Story
Rupert didn't especially want to be a prince. And he certainly never asked to be the second son of a royal line that really didn't need a spare. So he was sent out to slay a dragon and prove himself - a quest straight out of legend. But he also discovered the kinds of things legends tend to leave out, as well as the usual demons, goblins, the dreaded Night Witch - and even worse terrors hidden in the shadows of Darkwood. Rupert did find a fiery dragon - and a beautiful princess to rescue.

Poor choices everywhere. Basically hit reset on the entire series and felt like a spin off.
Worst in the series. Aimless, no big quest or achievement to strive for. It just sort of starts with him landing in a Japanese inspired fantasy world, with some race jokes that probably would raise an eyebrow if released today. Nothing mean spirited with the humor but gets a bit one note.
None of the characters stood out, in fact, at this stage nearly every character we got to know, is gone.
The book started from a fresh slate, honestly hardly felt like the same world if all the characters are written off, the world building is written off, the prior conflicts done away with, the main characters history pushed aside, literally nothing but the main character here who seemingly has little to nothing to do with his character arch previously. Feels oh most like a fan fiction or cheap spin off.
The main character hardly feels like there was any growth or any relation to the series.
The ending also was just..... Bad. Like the author couldn't decide how to end it without needing to write a 3 novel epic in this world so they decided to instead quickly include a lame twist (aged poorly twist that makes no sense) that is over exaggerated the everything wraps up in 30 minutes.
So sooooo bad. It's so incredibly strange how weirdly bad that ending was or overall this entire book. It hardly even felt like it could be a junk food read as I felt nothing (a running theme actually, maybe the author was depressed when writing this because it really sucked the joy out of everything).
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
