About this listen
Jordon is a Dungeon Master, and he liked to think that he was a decent one, after a whole year of writing and running his own home-brewed campaign. He just didn’t think he was so good at it that he could actually write a Fallen God into existence - a God that was hellbent on destroying the multiverse.
So, when a character from that very campaign shows up on Jordon's doorstep, begging for his help in saving her world, it was only responsible for Jordon to step up and save it....right?
With his Outcasts behind him, Jordon descends through the Cadinari Stream, and into a world of his own creation, finding that the life of an Adventurer is much more than improv and dice rolls. And Taldora, that world he had only seen in his dreams, was full of more wonders and mystery than even he had imagined.

Simon can only watch, helpless, as his family is killed and his friends captured by enemy Travelers—men and women who can summon mystical powers from otherworldly Territories. To top it off, another young man from Simon's village discovers that he's a savior prophesied to destroy evil and save the realm. Prophecy has nothing to say about Simon. He has no special powers, no magical weapons, and no guarantee that he'll survive. But he sets off anyway, alone, to gain the power he needs to oppose the Travelers and topple their ruthless Overlord.

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

Story
I’ve spent my life hunting the daemon who killed my parents. I swore long ago to do anything necessary, including summoning the deadly creatures to hunt for clues. When Azimuth, a sweet-talking daemon with ice-blue eyes and a voice like butter, shows up dangling the knowledge I seek in return for a high-risk job, I feel compelled to accept his offer. Sure, I’m wary of the helpful daemon, but the prize is too tempting to pass up. So what if my pulse races when he touches me or I can’t stop thinking about how his lips will feel on my skin?

In the year 2107, the world has both made astounding leaps forward and reduced humanity to its most basic existence. While the megacorps and those who rule them enjoy lives of extraordinary comfort and ease, most people barely scrape by, doing whatever they can to keep going. Juliet Bianchi is one of the latter. She works cutting metal in a scrapyard and doesn't have much to show for it except for a small group of equally bereft, fiercely loyal friends. Still, she maintains a bright disposition, possessing more hope and optimism than anyone would expect her to—and she's going to need it.

Thirteen-year-old Sam Shelton is the only person in Avalon who can't use the magical power of aether. He's also the only person in Avalon with a bag of high-tech spy gear, a solar-powered cell phone with intermittent signal back to Earth, a YouTube account, and a murderous wizard-emperor on his tail. So he's got a lot going for him. When an earthquake hits his hometown of Bozeman, Montana, Sam gets inexplicably transported to Avalon, a strange world in which aether defines all aspects of life: the rich, the poor, the weak, the powerful, the oppressed, and the oppressors.

For nearly one hundred years the magi have co-existed in a forced peace, the black order ruling and those in red robes settling for their subservient role. This peace, however, is threatened when the young protege, Ayres, defies the order and assumes the forbidden white robes. When a break-away sect within the black order begins to gain power, marking themselves with an ancient anti-magi symbol, Ayres and his childhood companions take it upon themselves to uncover the true meaning behind the movement. Hunted by the black magi and struggling to master the white arts he has recently discovered, Ayres must return to the tower that nearly claimed his life, setting off a series of events that could destroy not only himself and the Order, but everything that exists.

It turns out living nightmares almost never appreciate a good joke. Together with a succubus who insists on constantly saving his life, Gabe desperately tries to survive a new reality that suddenly features demons, legends, and a giant locust named Dale - all of whom pretty much hate his guts.

Grace Walker doesn't do relationships. She spent her childhood in and out of foster homes, she and her siblings looking after each other when their drug-addicted mother couldn't. With such a dysfunctional family, Grace just doesn't think she's relationship material. She'd rather play the field and otherwise keep to herself. But then she runs into someone from her childhood: Eva Carrington, an orphaned heiress who did a brief stint in a children's home alongside Grace. The two felt a strong connection as children, and now that they're adults, it's even stronger.

A promising start
Disclaimer: I receieved this book for free from the author on reddit.
I really enjoyed the premise of the book. I think it fulfills everyone's inner storyteller. I tend to enjoy more action packed fantasy stories. So if you want a lot of action, this may not be the story for you. But I genuinely enjoyed this one. I think this series has promise and I look forward to future installments.

Strong base for a great series.
If you enjoy stories like Mistborn or playing D&D, then this book is probably for you. While the premise is what got me interested, it was the character's inner party interactions (and the narrator's performance and diversity of voices) that really got me hooked and made me care about the outcome. While there are some flaws, I think there's a lot of potential here and I can't wait to see what comes next!

Cascade was very enjoyable. The characters are relatable and easy to get attached to. The author's writing style allowed you to get fully immersed in the fantasy world he created, while the storytelling flowed effortlessly.
I also really appreciated the way the chapters were broken down. It made nice start/stop points for listening in the car.

Enjoyable!
As a newish D&D player and lover of isekai, this checked a lot of boxes for me!
Follow Jordon (the DM) and the Outcasts for a trip to a world of Jordon’s making. I enjoyed the plot and became pretty immersed and invested in their journey. The writing could have been a little stronger and the main character was a little angsty (like all teenage boys) but it was still very enjoyable.
I had no issues with the narration or confusing character voices. The narrator had a nice variety of accents and male and female voices.
This is definitely worth a listen and I’ve already started reading Book 2!

Good Fantasy D&D Based Story. Solid Narration.
I openly admit to have never played, or even witnessed, a Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) game...which I think is the structuring game for this book; nor is fantasy my top favored genre. But, I still enjoyed (and could understand) this work that follows a group of Florida high school gamers as they face the challenge of having a fantasy character come to their real life, asking for help. Its a D&D video game in narrative book form.
Narrator (Mitchell Cochran): Good. But, I recommend the narrator work on varying length and placement pauses triggered by commas and periods to provide a more flowing oral narrative. Female characterizations could also have a slightly higher pitch to make them more distinctly feminine.

The book was well written. I've only played a D&D style game once about 25 years ago. Zane Emerson seems to do a good job with the story and I'd guess he makes a good dungeon master. The world building and character development was well done. The narration by Mitchell Cochran was great. I could always tell which character was being portrayed.
Disclaimer: My enjoyment of the narrator is based on my listening speed. I only leave 5 stars for books I've listened to or will listen to multiple times. I'll update my review if I listen again.

Fantastic
If you enjoy the works of Brandon Sanderson and Ernest Cline's Ready Player One then I would recommend this book. I felt very submerged into the world and became attached to the characters. I can't wait till the next book comes out to find out what happens.
Loved the narrator.

DnD come alive
I really liked this book! Right from the beginning I was hooked on reading it. As someone who also wrote stories based around my own group playing DnD, it was cool seeing it done in a story.
I am looking forward to reading more!
