This one focuses more on Paladins, which I generally dislike. The last book was probably my favorite of the series so far because it focused so much on Rogues, which has always been my favorite type of character to roleplay. This series continues to be a lot of fun. I can tell just from the voices which character is talking and that makes for a more enjoyable listen. Plus he does a few voices that gives the audio version that little extra something I've come to expect. His normal reading voice is clear and he reads with good tempo. 3.5 Stars.Īudiobook: Roger Wayne does another quality job. I enjoyed it, but not as much as the last one.

Peppers continues to be the awesomest magical boar in all of literature.Įxecutive Summary: I found this one a bit slow in places, but it finished strong. All in all, more of the same which is great for me since I love this series and need the next book NOW.Īlso: Mr. A longer term plot arc begins to come into focus as the NPCs become more skilled and their divine nemesis makes a power move that threatens to upset the world itself.

And Hayes continues to put further compelling and interesting stories, well beyond the initial conceit that got things started in NPCs. It is a series that strikes so many of my areas of interest (fantasy, meta-text, genre savvy characters, great world building, DnD/RPGs) that I can't help but love every moment of reading it. Spells, Swords, & Stealth continues to be such a warm, comfortable pleasure for me.
