And who shall wear the Bathrobe and Crown?

The Bearded Lord of Bacon and Booze has broken my expectations with his third installment of the Bathrobe Knight. This is a series that I started listening to with my family when BK I first hit audible, and we all became hooked. My mistake was that I did not wait for them when I started BK III, and my son caught me listening. He had a complete hissy fit that I betrayed him by not sharing the new book (we usually listen when we go on long trips, but we haven't had anywhere to go for some time, and I wanted to get this bad boy reviewed). So, I had to swear to him that I would relisten to the book when we go on our family trip in August. That says a lot about how devoted Dean's listeners can be, and the rabid fervor hat his writng inspires.

In BK III we finally get to see Stephanie's plan, the truth about Darwin, and Charles's idea of what he expects Darwin to do. Cass falls into some hard times, Kitchens get upset that Big D might be looking up his precious flower's dress, and several members undergo some dramatic changes that you really do not see coming. Dean amps up this story, but he also lets it slow cook like a nice pig roast. There is a ton of action, and plenty of killing to go around, but he spools out the big picture stuff like you were a fish on a hook and he was just waiting for you to get tired before reeling you into his net.

My only concern is that this book seemed to be lacking one really big stick in your brain moment. For example, in BK I the spoon in the eye incident is something we all laugh about, BK II dealt with what happened with Caisson, the king. Yeah, ther are some great battle scenes, and the council encounter might be equivelent, but it didn't feel so. Nor did the encounter between Charles and Darwin, which was cool, but not a stand out in your mind book, not likie I have come to expect from a master wordsmith like Charles Dean. Did I like the book any less? No. I jest really wanted a gutbusting or heart wrenching moment. Cass's big scene could have fit the bill if things had gone another way, but this was not a wash out. I just got a great book that stayed awesome across the board, that's all.

Broadhead carries this book on his broad shoulders, and as always, does a great job. He is always infusing a scene with emotion, and he plays each character with a different and distinctive voice. My youngest son doesn't think he does female voices very well, and made me swear to say that, but I have no issues wit hhis rendition of the ladies; particularly Stephanie.

This book does not wrap things up, there is still plenty of story to tell, and it is clear that Darwin's journey is far from over, that Stephanie's plans are only just starting to come to fruition, and Cass is slowly becoming aware of everything that is happening around her. I truly anticipate the upcoming events, and trust that the Bacon Lord will keep us on a fun, exciting road as we find out humanity's fate. Even though I did receive a promo code for this review it in no way influenced my considerations of the material, and in fact, inspired me to be more honest. In fact, getting a code generally makes me harsher as a reviewer as I am more often concerned what someone like Me will decide based on my review.

It is a blast to dive in to this story.

I enjoyed this book immensely. But part ways through the story shifted dramatically as if the author decided to take the entire series and go in a completely different story and was forced to rush through and tie up loose ends before moving on. I am personally glad about that because the new direction looks able to keep the more humorous tone hopefully.

Interesting Twists

This was a great continuation of the series. Some crazy twist took place that I did not expect. Very interested to see what happens next.

What happened

I really enjoyed the first two books minus some of the really annoying voices but this one is just so hard to listen too maybe grab a different narrator or maybe it's just played itself out either way returned before the end.

My favorite so far. Tons of answers and reveals

No spoilers, but I was totally surprised with the outcome. Finally got answers I've been waiting for. Now that I think about it almost everything was foreshadowed and it all fits together. I love that. I hate it when authors just throw in random answers that don't match the other books. Fun listen.

awsome

the third book in this series is awsome, bur it is anything but predictable. the second book leaves us with a pretty big cliff hanger, and the third book never loses its stride. I cant say enough how the direction the story went in is so original and enthralling. keep up the good work charles Dean and audible crew

Still good. Character progression/regression so-so

Was a good book, and if you're already finished with book two, you'll probably track with this one.

It can't be easy writing a series, especially when the first was so well done. The character progression / regression seems at times forced and... not quite extreme, but... off. Maybe that was the intention to fit a trope, or maybe that's what the author decided they always were, and was correcting their previous writing.

Either way, a decent book. I'll probably get the next one because I'm drawn into the story line. If you liked the 2nd, probably get this. If you didn't, I don't know why you're reading this review.

Edit: Just realized one of the authors is Charles Dean. If you haven't listened to The Heroic Villain, get that. You'll love it. And the 2nd. You'll love that. And... The authors note on the 3rd explains some things that gives a pass on some things servings hard and not meeting reader expectations on the 3rd book.

All the best, if you're reading this. Sorry about things. Hope you find joy in writing again.
