About this listen
Martin dug too deep, he uncovered secrets that the Masters wanted buried forever, and now he must face his punishment.
Trapped inside the game that they once loved, Iron Riot are now faced with a slow death by dehydration as their bodies in the real world are left to rot. The Masters, enigmatic creators of Strata, are willing to let anyone die so long as it preserves their perfect imaginary world.
But there was one thing that they haven’t accounted for: A rat with a plan.
If Iron Riot can finish the game before the timer runs out, defeat the Archdukes, beat the system, and show everyone what they are capable of, then they’ll have the attention of the whole world. The Masters won’t be able to hide in that spotlight. They might be all-powerful, but that doesn’t mean that their hands can’t be forced.

Story
It’s Drop Night, the one night every decade when the gods hand out cards to a lucky few. If you get a deck, you’re a deckbearer capable of wondrous feats within the Great Game system. You can control powerful monsters and summon mantles that let you fight alongside your beasts. Ethan Wolfe, top enforcer for the Grimm family mob, has already been overlooked on two previous Drop Nights. People of his ilk seldom receive cards, as the gods tend to favor people who follow their divine mandates, but that doesn’t mean Wolfe can’t hope.

Mark’s new life begins in the worst possible place—a burned-out village haunted by undead. Each morning these ravenous creatures disappear, only to return at night, driven by a relentless hunger. He'll need to stay low and think quick, because trapped and alone in the body of a child, he can’t level up in this new world. At least not yet. Soon Mark will learn that even among the living, safety isn’t guaranteed. When the small town that he ends up in turns out to be at the center of a conspiracy that threatens the world, he'll need to uncover the truth before it's too late.

Zaria was just a normal woman, living a simple life—until demons burst through her door and ate her heart. Reborn from tragedy, Zaria rises from the ashes as a Core, but with a twist. A rare mutation has turned her into a Mutant Core, destined to explode unless she forms a bond with a human witch to become a Striga. Her mutation? Legs. With the power of a full dungeon compressed into a walking house that is her body, Zaria sets out on a journey to find her Striga and avoid detonation. Along the way, she battles demons, builds her dungeon, and feeds her mimic mobs.

Pulled from the point of death and thrust into a horde-mode-style survival game, Benny’s odds weren’t looking too great. To make matters worse, an eldritch god… entity… thing named ‘Dave’ tasked him with destroying the very System that now controls his fate. But hey, it's not all bad news.

This was the way it had always been and Clay Shuntwise was perfectly fine with that. Running deliveries for his family’s shop in the sleepy town of Renton, the young teenager barely even thought about Heroes and their role in keeping the world safe.

An inn is a place to rest, a place to talk and share stories, a place to find adventure, or a starting ground for quests and legends. It is in this world, at least. To Erin Solstice, an inn seems like a medieval relic from the past. But here she is, running from Goblins and trying to survive in a world full of monsters and magic. She’d be more excited about all of this if everything wasn’t trying to kill her. But an inn is what she’s found, and so that’s what she becomes; an innkeeper, who serves drinks to heroes and monsters. Mostly monsters. But it’s a living, right?

Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Story
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Ending leaves some loose ends
I enjoyed the character development in this final book of the series. The only issue I had was that the ending did not address many of the subplots brought up in the previous two books, and felt a bit rushed. Still worth listening to the series, though.

Ending Sucked!!!!
It felt as if the author had had a disconnect with the mc before writing the third book.

The weakest of the 3 books
While i enjoyed the story for what it was, this particular book was the weakest, the major point was the ending being… like it was leading into an epilogue but just ended. Jericho seemed more abd more agressive than in the first and even second book to the point i thought him being transformed mentally into a wolf would be a plot point.
Also the parts with the opposing guild seemed like it should have led somewhere.. more.
I feel like this series needed at lesst two more books considering the pacing set in the first two books.
Tldr: ending was weak snd characters bickering might grow annoying but i still enjoyed it for what it was. Even if martin grew a bit too much like the r/iamsosmart kinda stereotype by the end

Lackluster Ending
I was really enjoying this series and hopes that it might delve deeper into what was going on, and it ramps up so well…. Only for a really dissatisfying end. It’s a shame since there is so much going for it!

Not the ending I wanted
I will not spoil anything. All I will say was that all the philosophy build up from the last book was pointless and not really maximized.

Hold On, What?
Initially this tale is woven into an engaging tapestry of wonder, horror, and introspection. By the end it falls so flatly on its own face that Voldemort has a long hooked nose by comparison.
Playing off of themes used quite frequently in this genre of books, the first book lays the groundwork for an intriguing story. Was the plot missing some story elements that would otherwise explain key moments? Sure, but that's how you make a setup. Character intros? Some of them definitely lack more than one character trait (the Angy Boi, the Loose Cannon, Healer (tm) and I Don't Understand Social Cues But I'm A Manipulation God (copyrighted)). Overall, a well executed first book.
The second begins to unravel the preconceived notions of the first, laying down room for a deliciously terrifying plot twist that truly sets the stage for some fun. Still some holes, but still acceptable. Have the characters changed? Nope, but that's fine still. Do we have any concept of the inconsistent number system being used for life/damage/stats? Nope, but you never really do in these kinds of books anyways. Have the stakes changed? Actually, yes, drastically so.
And then this book happens.
Stomping in with the same messy characters, the same established meta as the first book only with NO GOING BACK to the real world, and no tug on the ol heartstrings when it comes to plot because everything feels pre-scripted to work out as quickly as feasibly possible, comes our main rat. The rat that, in the first literal 5 minutes of this book, is referred to as a Jesus Rat. Their Messiah. Lo and behold.
The ending feels far too rushed and half baked compared to the rest of the plot. They get to the final boss fight, and you feel all the wind come out of the authors sails when they introduce "all" of the froggies into the fray, minimizing what should be this epic finale. They then have the audacity to make the crow and rat fight, only for a moment, before the rat becomes God (for "reasons", I swear -_-) and arbitrarily brings all his buddies back to life. Where's the final test to see if they're actually dead? Where's the attempting to right the wrongs of the company who killed you, as you promised? What happened to all the events of the 2nd book? At least make it a cliffhanger of sorts if you're not going to answer plot questions and just be done.
Overall, incredibly disappointed with the ending. Not a fan of the narrator generally (some of his character voices are brilliant, but his usual speaking tone is grating), but putting it to 1.5x speed helps make him bearable. The series is worth a read through, but you're better off dreaming up your own twist ending if you're looking for any kind of real completion to the story.

I couldn't finish it
I remember the other books being good and considered going back to listen to them. But I decided not to after getting about halfway through this book.
This book is constant bickering between the characters. I recall some disagreements and eye rolling in the first two books, but it wasn't the whole book. The fights are so slow and drag on. I started fast forwarding during parts to make them end. Hearing "give in" that many times, over such a long duration made me want to throw my headphones and phone to make it stop.
