Reliably chugging along!

Revisado: 07-29-22

CF IX presents us with our heroes scattered about the setting, so we get extended views of more individual quests and adventures. Mr. Bevan continues to delight with great, and yes still sometimes cringe-worthy, humor, but also a set of characters in a very relatable process of coming to terms with themselves in new and interesting ways. The depth of the development sneaks up on you in these books. In the meantime, plenty of silly adventure, high stakes thrills, interesting world-building, and hilarious moments. Looking forward to the next one yet again.

Quite a ride!

Revisado: 07-29-22

This series was recommended on one of my favorite podcasts, so I had to check it out. This is funny, intense, and sometimes brutal story-telling with plenty of LitRPG bells and whistles. If you, like me, find stat and loot updates mid-story to be oddly satisfying, this is just the kind of thing you're looking for. The book does not take itself too seriously, but it presents some serious moments with surprising gravitas. Also has an excellent cat. I'm moving immediately into Book 2.

Incryptid delivers another new turn and it's great

Revisado: 07-26-22

My favorite series switches to a fresh perspective today with a Price family member we know, but haven't had center-stage before. As always, this takes an already great setting and series and shifts it in a new direction and adds fresh flavor. Very much enjoyed this latest volume and fascinated to see where the series goes next!

Great advancement of the series!

Revisado: 07-26-22

The Liching Hour pays off at every level: humor, horror, action, adventure, even a little romance and a cute kitten. On top of that we've got some great world-building and plot advancement--definitely NOT just a filler piece, don't miss this one! The pairing of Mr. Fetherolf with this series continues to be absolute genius; he is the voice of Bill and his delivery of other characters runs from enjoyable to absolutely hysterical.

One of the best parts of this second series is catching the actual evolution of the main characters. Bill remains something of a clueless jerk who usually means well, but you get increasing peaks under the surface at a little more maturity and responsibility. I guess a second round of apocalyptic events can be good for a guy, who knew?

Enjoyed every minute. Looking forward to the next one.

A great buy -- funny, lively, well-done!

Revisado: 08-24-21

This "Publisher's Pack" is a great buy: two hilarious full novels and a bonus novella, all great listens.

If you appreciate a lovable loser, clever use of language, and slightly goofball hellish humor, this is definitely a book for you! If you're not a fan of a protagonist who fails-up or need characters to evolve at high speed, this might not be your cup of tea. I really enjoyed it! The stories are straightforward and tight and the jokes are solid. The characters are interesting and definitely grow on you. I plan to keep an eye out for more work by this author.

The narration is truly first rate. The stories are written entirely from a first-person perspective allowing the narrator to truly become the character. Mr. Haberkorn's voice acting prowess is really on display here with unrelenting commitment to character and great comedic timing. He and these books are really well matched.

Thought provoking and friendly

Revisado: 02-05-20

We continue to learn more about the Galactic Commons (GC) world in this second Wayfarers book. Be advised up front, this volume continues to explore the universe presented in A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, but does not directly continue the story of those characters. Instead, it takes us on a deep dive into two figures briefly introduced in the first book. As in the first book, more and more of the GC universe and its background story is revealed. Also as in the first book, this work provokes questions about identify, humanity, social philosophy, and more, but does so in a very friendly, very accessible way. Loved it.
