I enjoyed this story and feel like it was the start of a very interesting series. I listed to a full cast version on Audible. I found this to be a distraction, but eventually was able to get past this. I will say I am very interested in the world building in this book and would enjoy another book from there.

Not in the mood for epic fantasy

3.5. It was super funny at times, but I think the main concept of the story should’ve been given more pages. Alternative realities is a tough concept to grasp in the best of times. When you throw in a wide cast of characters and all these hijinks, it really detracts from the main story.

Series of shorts woven together for an overall story arc. Great narration & fun story.

3 Stars for Story, 4 Stars for Narration

The audiobook performance was amazing but unfortunately it was the only thing that made me keep listening. I found myself rather disinterested and disconnected from the plot and characters until the last hour or so.

I really enjoyed the premise of alternate realities exisiting in fantasy and sci fi world's. The collaboration worked well, and I did enjoy the full cast narration. I only gave it 3 stars because sometimes I wasn't very engaged, and I don't think it will stand out in my memory.
