Publisher's Summary

The world waits for no one. While Boxxy is off chasing shinies and delving dungeons abroad, Azurvale's shadows churn, fester, and ferment into a potent cocktail of trouble. Secret organizations maneuver behind the scenes, patiently advancing their nefarious plots. Government agencies lay in wait, ready to pounce at the first sign of trouble. Powerful adventurers gear up and train for the next challenge, uncertain as to what form it might take. In the midst of all this, a humble scholar arrives from a distant land wholly ignorant to the mountain-sized powder keg waiting for him. Explosives primed and the fuse set, the only thing missing is a spark to set things off, and who better to serve that role than a fiery redhead making her triumphant return?

It would appear that the universe once again conspires to put the Hero of Chaos in dire straits. However, in this particular instance, Boxxy is not entirely without fault. It doesn't know it yet, but the nasty surprises that await it are nothing more than the consequences of its own actions. As it turns out, butting heads with the seedy underbelly of civilized society has a way of stirring up an immense amount of trouble. Boxxy is aware of this, of course, though it doesn't care since it fancies itself an expert at deflecting blame and avoiding responsibility. For the most part, this is an accurate assessment. Unfortunately for the less-than-a-year-old monster, it has yet to learn one of life's key lessons.

Bad karma is like a stubborn stain—it never truly goes away.

Pretty good

Another good book to add to the series. The narration was excellent as always but i hate stain her sounds were gross. The story was good but a bit weak at times, fizzy showing up out of nowhere and the conflict with the gilded hand felt rushed. I would have expected more cat and mouse between boxy and the spymaster. The fight was really good it just lacked some face time with the big names.

consistant

The cast is amazing, the story is great. Did skip over some of the battles since about book 6 the 5 minutes battles can take 2 hours to tell ( the explanation of why the attack is made with preparation and explanation of skills and then why the attack didnt work because of the preparation thoughs and skills (explained) of the opponent... blurgh 15 min on 1 attack is annoying and completly throws of the beat of the battle... where the boxy that sneaked and 1 shot everything especially during monologues lol now not so much... anyway skipped a couple battles about 4 hours, didnt miss a thing of the story and enjoyed the story

Does not disappoint

I appreciate that the over the top sex scenes have been mostly brushed aside. I felt like they were just something I had to get through to enjoy the rest of this awesome story. this is one of my favourite series out there now.

Tasty as usual

Still enjoying the psychotic murderous chest after 8 books. Good on Neven for keeping it shiny and tasty this long.

"no spoilers, twitchy,"

Not just more escapades, hijinks and shenanigans from the elite team, but expansions to the cast and players make this well worth the wait. To be fair, I bought it on day one and marathon'd the first listen-to, but immediately started again when I woke up and had a hangover-cure.
