Pretty boring until the end. I'm not sure what the point is of having "real world" characters in the story except to remind us that the world we're seeing is "fake". I'm hoping that now that the NPCs and PCs having worked together they will work together to complete or destroy the bridge. Not sure where the author plans to take the story next and I'm unsure if I want to continue reading at this point.

Kitsch, but the good kind. Significantly better than the earlier books.

This is the best one so far. I really like the author's idea for the plot, super creative and funny. Looking forward to the next one.

Every series from Drew Hayes has been very enjoyable and this series is no different. Beginning the series with a unique twist, this continues the melding of worlds and provides some insights into the how and why. While the overarching story is being developed, Drew manages to also develop the characters more. Overall this series is highly enjoyable.

It took a while for me to commit myself to the story, but then it drew me in - again.

My son is playing D&D now, and talking about it all the time. Listening to this series really helps me understand what it’s all about, even though I have never played myself.

I marvel at how complex the story and the characters are getting. This started out as a fun idea and turned into much more.

The narration was brilliant - this really plays to Roger Wayne’s strengths.

Deeply woven

I picked up this series for light entertainment. And it is that. It’s fun.

But it’s also well written, deeply nuanced. The series fills in the reader enough about the world, sometimes subtly, supporting foreshadowing.

I’m tempted to start over and read it again, noting the quality and detail I doubtless missed the first time through.
