Home is where the heart is...at least that's what they say.

Rob has made a home for himself in Olimero. Now, he finds himself entangled in events outside of the town he has made his own. A tournament, rival gangs, jealous gods, and an expanding family—it's a lot for one man to juggle, especially as his wives each have their own interests.

What's a guy to do?

En bra bok ser framemot hur det går jag vill se vad han får från katten 😁🤔😁
men jag håller med att José var onödigt elak om katten om att det var inte karaktär med hur vi har lärt säna häne med visst blev blev hon svartsjuk men jag antar att författaren la till den för spelningen skull men en då överhela tagit så var det en bra bok men jag ser endå fram emot att få höra fler böcker av den serige hoppas att det blir många 😁👍

my only real complaint is it's not long enough. but that's common in books like this. and I'm not saying it's not long enough in any negative way. I just want more! I honestly had low expectations for this series from the beginning. then I ended up listening to all of them 3 times back to back. the only reason I'm not doing the same now is because we all know what other book came out the same day. but I'll definitely listening to it all again and love it! next book please.

I don't do reviews but....

BLUF: Fantastic narration can't save a increasing bad story.

Narration: Superb as always. Daniel and Rebecca are two of the best in the business. They aren't just narrators, they are true voice actors.

Story: Lets be frank, this genre isn't the most highly regarded in literature. It's a niche market and should be judged by that standard. In that regard, the series is about on par with most of the rest of the offerings in the genre. However the story has begun to decline, mostly because of the main character (MC).

He stated off as a mostly decent guy, thrust into a strange world. The classic stranger in a strange land trope that's been around since Mark Twain with his Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and popularized in anime and manga as "Isekai". Personally I feel that trope is VASTLY over utilized in this genre but I recognize that is my personal feelings.

So Rob our hero starts off as a more or less decent guy, if a bit on the stupid side. He is also steadfastly arrogant though he doesn't recognize it, not truly. That is seen time and again when he realized his moral values, traditions, laws and such are entirely from his world and so he is the outsider and stranger. A reasonably intelligent person would recognize that and adapt themselves yo the culture they are in, rather than demand everyone conform to them. At times he even realizes just how ego centric he is being...right before he keeps doing it anyways.

That trait was tolerable but with each new book, as his power continues to grow, he has become more and more of the classic arrogant jerk. It's his way or the highway, no problem exists he can't defeat with brute force and his will to make everything how he sees fit. Worse, he can't even be consistent. He has also picked a new horrible character trait; capriciousness.

He demonstrates that frequently. One example is how he is so frustrated with people deferring to him, being afraid of him for his power. He wants people to joke with him yet when one of his most trusted aides does just that, makes a well intentioned joke about him and his wives, he near completely losses his temper. He does completely lose his composure, threatening to kill the elderly woman.

I'm not sure if I will continue with the series. It seems clear his character arc will be to become even more arrogant, egotistical, capricious and generally unlikable. I won't return the books for a refund but I won't be spending another credit on the series unless the reviews make it clear his character changes and becomes someone I can cheer for instead of despise.

As the episodes continue the family grows and powers up! Everyone starts to become a power in their part of the story.

The action doesn’t stop! Finishing the story leaves you wanting the next chapter!

Will start with the naration. Rebecca was spot on as usual, great range of voices and emotion. Daniel was pretty good but at some points he did put a bit too much into his voice acting that came off a bit overly excited.
As for the story, I find that I often have to point out that stories need to be built then the character placed into the story and not the character first then the story to fit him. The first way prevents the issue of plot armor. Here's an example. Our mc is a former police, everyone knows that a police does not go in without backup, yet from book 1 the mc has been doing things, stupid things in a dangerous world alone and getting himself into trouble. He often mentions that he has to fix x, y or z about himself yet this is book 6 and the only thing he managed to change was only sometimes listening to his wives and taking their feelings into account before he does something. So back to my main point, either your story is about a mc who is level headed and thoughtful, the traits of a good police or he's bull-headed and ends up a dead or discharged or often suspended officer. Build the story, place the character into it and it'll flow better. After all, worlds come first then people to inhabit them. Other than this, great story and cant wait for the next.

another good listen.

After book five book six brings back the awesome adventure from this series! I am always impressed with how things have changed, not just with the characters but the plot also. Things are getting more interesting and I know book seven will continue on from there. I also want to thank the voice actors for their continued stellar performance! It brings the characters to life in ways that make you not only feel but see the events as they unfold.

epic!
