About this listen

Daniel's (updated) guide to early retirement, version 2.0:

  1. Intercept illegal money transfer from mafia boss. (Complete success. Except for the part where I was discovered and almost caught.)
  2. Hide out in super-exclusive full immersion virtual reality game until the heat is off. (Doing fine so far. They may have figured out that I’m in-game. Still, it’s a huge game, so no problem, right?)
  3. Roll a bard. Max out charisma. Live it up. (Two out of three ain’t bad. We’re just postponing the "live it up" part a bit.)
  4. Profit. (Still almost two years to go for that. Think happy thoughts!)

He could have been way worse off. Sure, Daniel was stuck in-game as the local bard of a quaint village, but people were nice, the quests juicy, and the lore intriguing. Even so, with the mob on the look-out, Daniel would soon find himself sorely tested to avoid detection.

Disclaimer: Still no harems in this series, even with a bard MC. Go figure. We’re going light on the cursing and less light on the puns. You were warned.

Could have been better

So I really enjoyed book one, the story was I intriguing. The second book was okay, it got really predictable. I lost interest in the MC, I wanted to know more about the pet lizard. The performance was great and I, loved the music. Not sure if I want to get the next book in the series.

MORE! Like right now please.

Great story just like the last one and a even better performance from the narrators and the music makes it all truly amazing.

So glad I bought this

Absolutely amazing story. But I got to say, the best part about this book was the end..with all the music.

Another one

I feel like I'm starting to sound like DJ Khalid. This book is a masterpiece from beginning to freaking end. The writing is absolutely amazing, and the narrators are beats. I couldn't have asked for a better book to listen to in these trying times. Thank you sbt, you guys have a fan for life.

excellent content

The story and performance are excellent, the only criticism I have is that the story speed and progression are too slow. level 3-4 after two books is pretty sad

Not quite the first book but not bad

I felt the story in this book was good, better after setting out for the kobold village. I fell short in love with the use of the violin in the first book, this one I think I may have wanted more. That isn't to say that there was an insufficient amount or that it was poorly used, just more would have been better.

Overall the book is good, the hook at the end is a nice tie-in back to book one without being overly telegraphed. It's a good book, a good series really, the MC isn't OP, just clever with what he is working with. Sure Lars grants him a lot of convenience in things just working out but hey that's high charisma right?

Amazing!

I'm really sad I can't give more than 5 stars. First off: the story is great. Full of everything that made the first book good and more. Add to that not only great narrators, but also a lot of the music pieces the bard is playing and you get a work of art instead of a great audiobook. I'm highly anticipating the next part!
