just my opinion

I am giving the book its self a five star review well written and includedes more of the original characters from the devine dungeon series
the change of narrator was a bit jarring he has done other good works but it ruined the emertion of the book for me ot would have been better if this narrator was introduced in another spin off series in my opinion

New Narrator , same amazing story

OK so here the thing it's never nice moving to a new narrator in the middle of a series but it can happen. that being said i didn't find the chance to be that bad at all, I still knew who was who and to be honest after an hour I didn't care.

I do love how this series is filling in all the little hole in the main story. the climax of this book was very satisfying.

New narrator & References

The new narrator, although a very good deliverer of the story, doesn't have the same flavour as the original narrator. New accents to characters and not overly varied voices make the story difficult to follow, as I no longer know who exactly is speaking.

It is absolutely difficult for the narrator who has come in to take over the voices and intonations of the different characters that have been built over the entire series so far.


On the note of references, wow there are so many in this book! From gaming to memes and films, there are some parts choc-full and others more sparse.
Although I did not find it overly annoying I did find myself laughing at the silliness and unnecessity of some of them as they were either outright quotes or some sort of backhanded workaround to not sound like 9gag.

Story wise it follows the other books just as it should not diverging from it's original design. it just feeling different as the narrator is trying to make it in his own style. While not wrong, Different, just Different...

changing the narrator at book 11 is a bad move

I dont want to sound like om bashing on the new narrator but we have gone from one of the best who has a different voice for each important chsracter to someone who sounds basicly the same all the time the book it still great but that magic Travis brought to the characters and the world is gone

good progress let down by the perfromance

while the narration has not ruined the story by any means it previouls had elevated it.
this rendition came across rather flatter. artorian is a mistivious trickter you empoddies love and care for
those he meets but the voice was not right it was too old and cranky to be him.

cal wasnt bad but the female voices needed work.

I can't get my head around the new voice over, he reminds me of the Lord of the flies and that bord me with the voice over on that book so it mite just be me but I'm not a fan of the change sorry.

Still good after a change of narrator

While it is sad that Travis Baldree couldn't narrate this one, it's still a good listen.

Slightly better that the last two not as good as the first 3 in series

Firstly changed the reader and what makes it worse is the cameo comment in the book alluding to the guy that read all the others. I dropped out of this series cause the last two were a bit meh this is also a bit meh compared to the first 3 in series. I enjoy artorian but not the setting up of the game world, although I do enjoy the game world they make in the completionist chronicles series. One other thing I’d change is Dakota please stop including you’re name in a cameo in every book it’s good once or twice but I’ve listen to three different series around 15ish books and you do it in all of them. Look back at how tough started writing this series and do more of that.

Yeah not a fan of the new VA

So I did some research and found that the previous narrator simply didn't have the time to invest in this series when this series releases so frequently which is fair enough it happens. I am also mostly fine with the new VAs voice I actually think I prefer his neutral narration voice but his Artorian voice is horrible it's deep, solid and has none of the warm, sly old man that we had before and as Artorian is the main character and one of my favourite characters in general it pretty much kills a lot of my buzz for the series and I'm not sure if I'll pick the next one up.

Give back the old narrator

The change in narrator completely changed the feel of the story and the identifying feel of each character.
It also feels like the overall writing style changed.
