Brilliantly written

I usually do not do spoilers but on this occasion I will do a small one.

Kaz is to James & Eden as Oberon is to Kevin Hearne.

As expected - just great.

Don't be put off by a 4 start review.
I think 5 starts should be reserved for those books that dominate all before them.
This one is very good and I recommend to all those that started the series.

The only thing I would say here is that if you imagine 10 hours of reading as a paperback; it's probably a book a you can put in your back pocket. 15+, well then you're starting to talk about something meaty. You know, value for money etc... So here you get what is expected for 11 hours. It's a start but nowhere near something that is gonna last a week in the sun on holiday...

it was made clear in the first book where we're headed and this book doesn't disappoint.

The only thing I would say is that levels seem to be ghostly; in that all of sudden we are are level 20+ when I think the author could have played on each level as a real celebration. Not a big deal however.
And I do wonder... if it wasn't Nick Podehl, would this book have been so amazing? Maybe....

The MC and friends have been setup so beautifully with their interactions and wants and needs, that you genuinely feel each situation each are exposed to. This is surely a sign of a very good author who knows how to weave his readers into something very entertaining.

The big fights are spread out nicely with entertaining moments in between that span the emotion scale from funny to sad, heroic to treacherous.

A good job well done.

Great series

I'm really enjoying this series. The story and narration are great. My only quibble is the hero continually beating bosses vastly more powerful than himself. He does manage it in clever ways most of the time, so it takes a bit of the sting out of it. Looking forward to the next book.

great story

loving the story and action although the heroes nose must be flat for the amount of times he catches an attack square in the face without moving. lol

if the narrator can pronounce 'rifled' as in rifle-d instead of riff-led that would do my heart good.

Need Book Three

Review from my boyfriend and myself. My boyfriend and I listened to this book together We loved it very much. We were trying to figure out if this would be a duology or a series. Now that we know, we can't wait for book three! Listening to these books with him has given me a better understanding of D&D. He loves to play the game. Maybe now I can play with him! The narrator was fantastic. He was great in the first book too, so I had no doubt he'd be great in this one. I hope that he'll be narrating the third book too when it comes out. It wouldn't be told the same without him. Fully loved it and fully recommend.

Book 2 = Double the Enjoyment

Although thinks only book 2 this is even better than bookn1 as your now invested in the fight that the Cruel Citadel has found it self in. The characters have become familiar and their cause just and true despite the unusual forms we are now set against the Heroes and the light based crimeria whilst we cheer on our erstwhile heroes as they level up.
Now that the characters have become familiar i find myself enjoying the skills of Podehl a lot more now which helps a lot. I especially like Kaz and Griff as they are so appropriate for how i imagine them to be.
Overview is 5 stars all along and a tense wait for the next chapter to arrive in all too much anticipation.
