About this listen

"Has your life here been so difficult? You seem to fail upward at every opportunity."

So says Careena, the hag teaching Clyde Hatchett how to use magic. It certainly doesn't feel like that to Clyde, who's still got a day job scraping mud (at least he hopes it's mud) out of monster pits, and whose "thieves' guild" is more concerned with baking cookies than with protecting him against a rival gang. He keeps accumulating roommates - like a freed sex slave and a retired paladin - who make him nervous, but for very different reasons. And let's not get started on the mimic that's taken up residence by Clyde's shower, or the supposedly tame grimeling in his closet....

And yet even with all the annoyances, distractions, and occasional death threats, Clyde's found himself at the center of a massive conspiracy to kill the Emperor. He's the only one with proof that could save the man, and take down an entire network of corrupt nobles, evil slavers, and power-hungry despots. Clyde really hopes Careena is right about him - the fate of the entire Empire depends on it.

Good story but the author has an annoying attachment to cliffhanger endings. I say this after having gone through 8 books in the good guy series. The introduction of the Kobolds is fun and amazing.

I can get behind his bad guys are bad idea. And Clyde is a decent protagonist that that seems to have just to much on his plate but my god take a second to breath and plan my man.

I was also hoping that this character would be a little more intelligent than Montana. But in alot of ways he just is not and I am seeing some of the same problems I have with the good guys series on repeat here.

All that being said still a enjoyable book, especially if you can launch into the next one.

Good story but ...

First and foremost the MC is mentally challenged. But you got that much from the description alone. But the author is spinning this story in such manner that it’s actually great and hilarious.

Good stuff
