another great one

I love it. My favorite character in this was Deek the dungeon core. He simply stole the show.

another successful journey

Another great Journey written by A.J.
Full of action, adventure and plenty of laughs.
looking forward to the next in the series.

Fantastic book!! Just like the rest of the series

Fantastic book!! Just like the rest of the series.

Can't wait for more.

This is the second time I've read a LITRPG series. I think the has just enough of the RPG to get the feeling for what going on with out the droning on and on about hit points. The comic relief always cracks me up.

Stig Rules!

Between Aj and Iggy, you guys have done it again. Spent as much time laughing as was in thralled with the story. Good job. I look forward to the next book. And for any haters of this series. Chill Bitch! lol

the whole series is a wonder

if you are in to fantasy novels and you are mature this is a great series.

great book

I was realy reluctant to read this book after the downer ending from the last one, but the writer pulled it off.

less bad jokes more story!

there are whole situations that shouldn't have been written, worst warlock I have ever seen.

cant wait till next one comes out

I really enjoyed these audiobooks from this author. and would recommend this to anyone looking for a good read

Mc dumb

Not a full book. Also Mc is annoying and dumb. Overall series is because of sex stuff but let down by mc.

In regards to my last review of this series -

- I wrote about the series actually being a story with sex and violence in it. And though this one does eventually get back to that, I am sorry to say this one is over 60% porn. Not just a few scenes, but much of the story seems to be written by porn writers. Just enough plot to go from one implausible sex scene to another more implausible one.

I really hope this is not an indicator for the rest of the series. I'm just enjoying LK Hamilton's Anita Blake series rising from a period of +80% smut. Oh mind you this is still a really good story, but it's losing the intelligence it had in previous books. Not just the shallow NPC's, but the main charger and advanced AI are making really stupid decisions. And I assume some of these events seem to be affecting more than just our heroes, but they just don't.

** MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD **

To Markam - please consider having more reoccurring characters, especially in the real world of this epic. And some more focus on the higher intelligence AIs of the world beyond Aleria. Maybe to a few scenes that only us listeners see to show some of the larger world. Is that Mob boss such a higher AI? If so, why does he keep throwing good money and lives after bad, or get his mob taken over by someone smarter? Where does he keep finding these tough NPC willing to throw their lives away for a bounty? And act very stupidly on their hunt as well? Seriously, how bullheaded does someone have to be to not realise that highly dangerous monsters running from an area probably means something worse is about to go down?? Especially when the guy you plan to torture and kill many times decides to surrender and leave rather that sick around???? AND WHY DID IT NOT OCCUR TO ENIN TO ALLY WITH THE DUCHESS AND THE ADVENTURERS TO FIGHT AGAINST THE DUNGEON GUILD AND THE BABY CTHULHU???? The city of Vaas may have been more saved, and it would not have been a three-front war against him.

Sorry for any spelling errors I made him names here. I listen to the audiobook. :-)
