The author, works the gaming aspect in seamlessly. The characters are entertaining, there’s lots of humor. The hero is relatable. Powerful female elves. Lovable oafs. Orcs. It has everything. And if you’ve never listened to Jeff Hays read a book, I mean he’s just the best. And in this case he’s joined by a couple of other pros who add to the overall entertainment. There are sound effects, but they’re not distracting. They add to the story. Just very well done.
