Story4.5 out of 5 stars 360
Orodan was an orphaned street rat who clawed his way to the county militia with hard work. When calamitous events unfold and draw him into events bigger than himself, Orodan's battle-loving disposition leads to a warrior's death. Then he wakes up again at the start of the Cataclysm. Then again. And again. In a world of skills, titles, and blessings, a smart time-looper would perhaps scheme, plan, amass equipment, and allies. But not Orodan. If there's one thing he's good at, it's stubbornly trying the same thing over and over again via brute force till it's done.

it is good

don't sit on this read it as fast as you can before listen to it because it's a really good piece of work. I feel like it basically redefines what a time with the story is and the author really knows how to deliver emotions but stubborn guy.

Dania Ellis has faced warzones and Emergency Room chaos—but nothing prepared her for Drop Night. Once every ten years, the gods give a deck of cards to a chosen few. These new “deckbearers” are capable of great magical feats, and are the top of every food chain, both metaphorically and literally. As a combat veteran and ER nurse, Dania knows what it takes to fight for a better life. She’s worked tirelessly to build a future for herself and her orphaned nephew, Jake. But everything changes on Jake’s fourteenth birthday when he receives a Drop Night deck—straight from Nyx, the goddess of night.

Shadowcard guardian is a pretty noir buddy cop lit RPG deck builder which I did not think would roll work together. It is a very strong character driven book about a woman who is in charge of her sister 's son due to various reasons and when the Sun gets a magical ability to dramatic cards and create creatures on drop night along with everybody else in the world, he was targeted and from there on things spin way out of control as she tries to reassert her motherly instincts and keep her Jake from harm.
The female lead is one of the best examples I would use for showing the full spectrum of what it means to be both a mom or an adopted mom and in a situation where he probably wouldn't find a male character. Casey is Al writes beautifully and I need you to understand that I have cried several times reading this because of the emotional damage of her writing. So I would say that this is a superb performance of an excellently written book. I cannot wait for the next one because of how gripping it is. It is literally hard for me to put down this audiobook and do something else.

Having survived their journey into the Dark Heart, Arthur and his dragon, Brixaby, have a new goal: complete their Legendary card sets. Unfortunately, the next Legendary card is locked away in Blood Moon, a hive with a reputation for chaos, lawlessness, scourgling eruptions, and—rumor has it—dedicated dragon hunters. Still, Arthur and his retinue feel they have little to fear. Then again, they also don't have much knowledge of what actually lies ahead.

If you're into found family then this is a good fiction. Content warnings are a bit high on this one so listen before you take it to your kids, but this is one of my recent favorites.
Arche my boy, do your best.
