I am really enjoying this series! I'm sad the next one isn't out yet. It's a fun little series, different than what I'm used to. Quite a nice change of pace.

Going Rogue is a great continuation of the Spells, Swords, & Stealth series. The characters are as likable as ever and the story stays interesting throughout the book. Some crazy stuff happened and I'm curious about what's going to happen in the future.

This book, like the rest of the series, was narrated by Roger Wayne and he does an amazing job. His voice acting brings the characters to life.

I thoroughly enjoy the characters and story arcs that Drew Hayes comes up with. "Going Rogue" is a worthy sequel to the "Spells, Swords and Stealth" series. I especially like reading along as Thistle, Grumph, Eric, Gabrielle, Timascore & Mr. Peppers survive their encounters. I listened to this story on audiobook, as my libraries didn't have print or ebook titles available. I'm looking forward to starting the next book in the series, "Siege Tactics".

This one was pretty solid.  Good characterization.  Good team work.  Good character growth.  Action scenes were on point and magic followed some pretty straightforward rules.  

A good edition to the series.

Excellent Meta Fiction for RPG Players

I love Drew's world building and story telling which never cease to entertain. The third installment of Spells, Swords, & Stealth is definitely aimed a niche market and thankfully I'm part of that market. This series is very enjoyable for someone who's played a lot of RPGs over the years but I feel that most of its punch would be lost on someone who hasn't rolled anything aside from D6. However that's exactly what's intended here, at least in my opinion, and it's done really well. If you're and RPG player and a sci-fi fan then this series is one you shouldn't pass up.
