What happens when the haggling is done and the shops are closed? When the quest has been given, the steeds saddled, and the adventurers are off to their next encounter? They keep the world running, the food cooked, and the horses shoed, yet what adventurer has ever spared a thought or concern for the Non-Player Characters?In the town of Maplebark, four such NPCs settle in for a night of actively ignoring the adventurers drinking in the tavern when things go quickly and fatally awry. Once the dust settles, these four find themselves faced with an impossible choice: pretend to be adventurers undertaking a task of near-certain death or see their town and loved ones destroyed. Armed only with salvaged equipment, second-hand knowledge, and a secret that could get them killed, it will take all manner of miracles if they hope to pull off their charade. And even if they succeed, the deadliest part of their journey may well be what awaits them at its end.

Sehr kurzweilig und gut geschrieben.

Es gab hier und da etwas unlogisches oder eher nicht ganz zu Ende gedachtes.

Auf zum nächsten Teil der Serie.

Good one!

What I love about Drew Hayes writing so much, is that he manages to keep my interest (when I listen to one of his books I forgo all other audios, like music until the book is finished) while simultaneously keeping my mind and heart calm. I usually suffer from a lot of anxiety, but when I listen to Hayes’ books it’s all good.
I hope this makes sense. I really liked it, is what I’m saying.

Interesting, yet calming

Great character (ensemble) driven LitRPG in a D&D-ish world including an intertwining meta setting. Comprehensible, smart writing that effortlessly plays around with many of the genres clichés. The narration is also superb.

Grats, you've found another audiobook treasure!

Der Sprecher hat einen tollen Job gemacht!
Der Autor spielt hier mit jeder Menge Klischees, dabei fand ich die Charaktere und deren Motivation und Entwicklung am besten. Story war in Ordnung. Insgesamt sehr unterhaltsam.

Ich denke, man muss schon mal RPGs gespielt haben, als purer Fantasy Roman ist es eher mittelmäßig.

Eins der besseren des Genres
