The Dragon’s Banker
12 June 2026The title is The Dragon's Banker. The blurb talks about dragons. There's a dragon-person on the cover. Naturally, I expected a fair amount of dragon. This was more, dragon-adjacent for the most part with a main course of accounting and finance.
Not a criticism exactly, just something worth knowing going in.
The Dragon's Banker follows Sailor Kelstern, a merchant banker in a world on the verge of replacing the standard precious metal currencies with fiat money issued by the crown. While there are dragons, elves, dwarves, wizards, and all the usual fantasy trappings, much of the story is focused on business deals, trade routes, financial manoeuvring, taxes, audits, and the challenge of converting a dragon's hoard into the new economy without losing […]

Month in Review – May 2026
1 June 2026
If there was a theme this month, I completely missed it. My listening jumped from memoirs and romance to apocalyptic competitions, gangsters fighting the undead, and another trip into the wonderfully unhinged world of Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Limitless Seas, Book 2
15 December 2022It had been some time since I listened to the first book in this series, and even with a comprehensive recap at the beginning of this book, I still found myself struggling to remember everything that had happened. So, after re-listening to the first, I dove back into this one with gusto. The story picks up seamlessly from there and continues the adventure of Larson and his privateer pals as they continue to make a name for themselves.
Larson is still unaware of being in-game, and the outside chapters are, like the first, few and far between, which is nice. I get why they are there, but honestly, I could do without them as I prefer staying immersed in the world […]
