A Divine Dungeon Series (Artorian's Archives, Book 17)

De: Dennis Vanderkerken, Dakota Krout

Narrado por: John Pirhalla

War never changes, as even among the Ancients, ancient grudges spark revolution.

The final moments of the journey in Ancient Greece sets the stage for a revolution ready to explode faster than a poorly brewed potion. The Old Guild and Asguardian Remnants are itching for a comeback tour. Led by Odin's feathered spies, Huginn and Muninn, they’re all set to hunt Artorian down—this time for good. They're betting their last shiny coin on vengeance, aiming to turn Artorian's dream of a New World into a nightmare—permanently.

Artorian, now a mere mortal cut off from the ever-revival of the Seed Cores, finds himself playing on hardcore mode. With no respawns in sight, he's gearing up for a showdown that's less about divine intervention and more about divine invention. His weapon of choice? The Luminous Gatling—part disco ball, part harbinger of doom—ready to light up the night sky with a feather-picking light show.

As the twilight of Cal looms, it's clear that the old guard isn't going down without a saga-worthy fight.

Diggy diggy hole!

I am a Dwarf and I'm digging a hole. Diggy Diggy hole, diggy diggy hole. Born underground suckled from the tit of stone... I love the Wind Rose reference. I love and enjoyed this volume. All of the reference are iconic and hit the funny bone just right. Can't wait for the next volume or series this turns into. Also I love how we went from Divine Dungeon to The Artificer: Viridian Gate followed by Nomads Soul: Viridian Gate. The Artificer: Tech Genius and Politician trys to save the world from a "Natural Disaster" and get everyone in the world "who can afford it" downloaded into a digital world were their consciousness can live forever on a "server" till they can somehow be saved. Sadly, there are set back and a researcher dies during a transfer sequence test. This accident is the start point for Nomads Soul and continues from here, on the new life and adventure of the first transferred consciousness. Sometime later, the transfer is perfected and the rest of the Viridian Gate Online series starts with the once Tech Genuis/Politician; now iron fist ruler; growing at odds with those he saved, when his favoritism for those that pushed his plans forward for this project to save people, comes to light. To keep this new world from being dominated by the wealthy all over again, the people rise and gather to break open and away from the fist that beats and holds them down. Each of the main characters have their own series and they all start just before and then during the groups gathering for the first time. Each of the series are amazing and fill in the missing details that the main storyline is glossing over. If you told me that the all of the series from Dakota Krout and James Hunter series were connected, I would totally believe it after how this book ends. I love this series though and agree with CALcite. The Divine Dungeon series does need more books now that the batton has been handed off here. I can't see how this isn't CALs story picking back up. I will miss Arthorian shenanigans if he steps out of the spotlight, but I need more and don't care which perspective I get it from. See you in the next volume/series!

more plz!

I love these books and that books are connected with the other series ❤️ keep it up guys this is GREAT!!!!!

Please don't say this is the end?

the culmination of an anthology? I want to say yes but it also feels like no. another step in the timeline of the divine dungeon universe.

STOP. WITH. THE. DINGS.

THE NOTIFICATION DINGS. STOP. THEM.
PLEASE I BEG, THEY'RE SO LOUD AND THEY HURT MY EARS AND THEY'RE ANNOYING.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REMOVE THEM.

Everything else is fine.

I did like danger licious murder of my loneliness.. that was unironically great.

Some Forward Movement

It definitely felt like the last three books could have been compressed into one. I still love the tone of the series, but I'd love to see more selection on the things happening.
Spoilery past here:
I'm glad to see the story has reached parity with the beginning of the Completionist Chronicles! I hope we get another Artorian story that runs parallel to it. Seeing the cast interacting with recognizable modern
technology is quite compelling.
The review gets at least an entire extra star for John Pirhalla's performance of Dangerlicious. That was majestic!

Dangerlicious!

Great book, great story, even better performance! As a bonus, we get the long awaited full version of "Dangerlicious" performed by John Pirhalla!

Finally at parity

I originally picked up this series thanks to the completionist chronicles and the fact that some of the book's descriptions through this series hinted that there will be a behind the scenes perspective of the game world Joe got thrown into. It was a painful journey up to this, but luckily, this issue has done away with most of the silliness and punnage that made the last few books so painful to listen. Though not entirely, the singing portion gave me 50 points psychic damage. I am looking forward to see this arc finish and hope to find other books exploring what kind of abyss Joe makes for the mod team with his own shenanigans. No doubt (not) being helped by that of our favorite grampa!

Theatrics

Did not like the unnecessary music, singing, and sound effects Did not like reference to “real” things

Anaheim?

This title has been the worst picked title of all the books.
This is also the worst of the story so far.
Now I’m not saying bad, or that I didn’t like it.
I’m just stating it’s the worst book written in this series in my opinion.

It felt very much like a transitional piece with a good bit of filler pushed in and turnouts that seemed just forced as things could have been handled so many different ways, but we got this.

Anyway it’s not bad, I’m not mad I bought it.

Overall 5 stars
Performance 5 stars
Story 5 stars, but only because I’m not gonna cut into the book as harshly as I could and would if this was direct from DK himself and this weak.

good book, however...

there were several large sections of this book that I felt didn't keep my attention as well as previous books. overall it was good, but I normally will finish a book in a few days, this one took me 2 weeks.
