A Parade of Horribles

The Audiobook Review — Fri, 29 May 2026 10:27:46 +0000

Dungeon Crawler Carl remains one of my favourite audiobook series going around, and honestly at this point Jeff Hays deserves to be studied in a lab somewhere. One man somehow performing what sounds like a full cast production feels like […]

Kiosk Kingdom

The Audiobook Review — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 09:16:00 +0000

I could have really used a recap going into this one. There is a callback early on to the HOA boss from the end of the previous book, and I realised pretty quickly that I had forgotten more than I […]

[Traveling] Merchant Crab

The Audiobook Review — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 21:01:40 +0000

Did you ever wish for a recap when picking up the next book in a series? Well, book two of Merchant Crab gives us an epic 47-minute recap of the first book. I was in two minds about it at […]

Merchant Crab

The Audiobook Review — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 09:46:02 +0000

Balthazar (a brilliantly over the top name for a crab) likes his muddy pond. He has all the fish he can eat and he’s sure he’ll catch one of those pesky birds one day. His tranquillity is disturbed by the […]

Tol-Saroth

The Audiobook Review — Sat, 27 Sep 2025 05:06:36 +0000

Tol-Saroth: Everybody Loves Large Chests, Volume 11 by Neven Iliev was another enjoyable outing with everyone’s favourite murderous mimic, though it did feel more like stage-setting than a full-throttle adventure. With only two books left in the series, I’d half […]

Law

The Audiobook Review — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 03:50:33 +0000

While relistening to the entire series recently, I realised I had a bit of a brain fart and forgot to post a review of book 10. Ten books deep into Everybody Loves Large Chests, it’s obvious I am a sucker […]

Slayer Bowl

The Audiobook Review — Fri, 05 Sep 2025 11:23:55 +0000

On paper, Slayer Bowl should have been exactly my kind of thing. Aliens show up, most of humanity gets wiped out when a cosmic bloodsport chooses Earth as their next venue, and the fate of the world rests in the […]

Cinnamon Bun Volume 6

The Audiobook Review — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 10:43:13 +0000

This series just keeps doing its thing – cozy, quirky, and filled with unrelenting optimism. I’m trying to remember if this came up in the previous book or at the beginning of this one but a Harpy delegation on their […]

Discount Dan

The Audiobook Review — Fri, 27 Jun 2025 11:09:56 +0000

Discount Dan’s Backroom Bargains by James Hunter is a survival-heavy LitRPG that dumps its everyman hero into a chaotic alternate reality and tells him to figure it out fast or die trying. If you’ve read Dungeon Crawler Carl (DCC), you’ll […]

Mage Tank

The Audiobook Review — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 10:32:13 +0000

Mage Tank sounded like an interesting combo, taking the normally squishy magic slinging class and combining them with the party tank so they can take a hit. After wrapping himself around a tree, Arlo dies (as one does) and wakes […]

Trials of the Nekomancer

The Audiobook Review — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 21:26:44 +0000

This was a slog to get through, and so many times I just thought about giving up. Getting to the end, I should have given up a lot sooner. I like puns, and this book is filled with them though […]

The War of the Noobs

The Audiobook Review — Sat, 15 Mar 2025 06:35:59 +0000

I am starting to hope that Noobtown as a series is getting close to finishing. While I have enjoyed it so far, it’s beginning to become a parody of itself in some respects. Book eight is filled with so many […]
