About this listen
Welcome to the Goblin Corps. May the best man lose.
Morthûl, the dreaded Charnel King, has failed. Centuries of plotting from the heart of the Iron Keep, deep within the dark lands of Kirol Syrreth—all for naught. Foiled at the last by the bumbling efforts of a laughable band of so-called heroes. Still, after uncounted centuries of survival, the Dark Lord isn’t about to go down without a fight, particularly in battle against a mortal! No, the Charnel King still has a few tricks up his putrid and tattered sleeves, and the only thing that can defeat him now may just be the inhuman soldiers on whom he’s pinned his last hopes.

Story
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.

After the arrival of the multiversal monopoly BuyMort, life got brutal. All systems were through BuyMort. All currency was through BuyMort. All sales were through BuyMort. You could resist, you could compete, but it didn’t really matter because in the end you used BuyMort—or you perished. BuyMort be praised. But not everyone’s happy with the new system. Some, even, want to see it destroyed. It’s quick. It’s convenient. And it will help people kill you and your family as readily as it will help them sell you knickknacks for a quick mortie.

After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences.

Ashlock wakes in the courtyard of a demonic sect... as a tree. A tree that eats people. An odd start to a new life. Almost as strange as the humans flying through the skies on flaming swords and challenging the heavens. After all, this is a world where humans could chase the goal of immortality through the art of cultivation. But Ashlock is merely a sapling in a desolate courtyard, left alone with his thoughts and unable to speak to those passing him by. Unless he does something about it.

Nathan's life was defined by labs and lectures until an Archmage yanked him into Davrar and made him a tantalizing offer: master magic in exchange for Earth's scientific secrets. Yet, Nathan can't shake off the feeling that darker truths lurk beneath such promises. The world of Davrar is a dangerous place teeming with dungeons and monsters–ruled by levels, Talents, and a near-infinite progression of power.

Somebody once told a joke. A man ran in place all his life. He worked a job he didn't love for people he couldn't stand. But at the end of the day, the number in his bank account went up. That man got a second chance at life. He woke up in another world, one full of adventures and romances and monsters and gods. And floating above his head, he saw the number "1". So what did he say? "Gosh, I better make the number go up." Not today. Not for this old soul. Reborn as a beast of battle meant to live a short life and die screaming, Garek refuses.

Luckily, Kers has the sarcastic (and sometimes helpful) fairy Selena to help him get his bearings. Together, the pair delight in exploring Kers’ weird existence, creating novel mobs, and enticing adventures to plumb the lofty heights of his floors.

Pete is a simple man who enjoys a good drink amongst good friends. Not too much to ask, right? Now, he's trapped in a fantasy world far from home, stuck underground and inside the body of a smelly dwarf with fantastic facial hair. The worst part? The swill that the dwarves are falling all over themselves to drink. It's flat, it's watery, and it has the alcohol content of a rancid coconut. Can Pete save the dwarves from their own sour fate, or will he be forever doomed to plink his pickaxe away in hopes that he hits the motherlode?

Despite his youth, Declan Idrys knows of the evils of the world. He knows of the bastards and brigands who plague the King's lands, of the monsters skulking in the wooded depths of the realm. Together with his companion, Ryn - a beast of rather peculiar talent - he has spent the last decade of his life beneath the bloody banners of a half-dozen mercenary guilds, hunting precisely such festering wickedness within the borders of Viridian.

Story
In the deep forests of Kyonin, elves live secretively among their own kind, far from the prying eyes of other races. Few of impure blood are allowed beyond the nation's borders, and thus it's a great honor for the half-elven Count Varian Jeggare and his hellspawn bodyguard, Radovan, to be allowed inside. Yet all is not well in the elven kingdom: Demons stir in its depths, and an intricate web of politics seems destined to catch the two travelers in its snares.

Everyone loves Mathias. Naturally, when he discovers it’s his destiny to save the world, he dives in headfirst, pulling his best friend, Aaslo, along for the ride. However, saving the world isn’t as easy, or exciting, as it sounds in the stories. The going gets rough, and folks start to believe their best chance for survival is to surrender to the forces of evil, which isn’t how the prophecy goes. At all. As the list of allies grows thin and the friends find themselves staring death in the face, they must decide how to become the heroes they were destined to be.

Story
Their peace was a fragile thing, but it had endured for seven years, mostly because the people of Darassus and the king of the Naor hordes believed his doom was foretold upon the edge of the great sword hung in the hall of champions. Unruly Naor clans might raid across the border, but the king himself would never lead his people to war so long as the blade remained in the hands of his enemies. But when squire Elenai’s aging uncovers evidence that the sword in their hall is a forgery, she’s forced to flee Darassus for her life, her only ally the reckless, disillusioned Kyrkenall.

The Antihero’s Journey
This book was a lot of fun.
Pros: Has a great time playing with genre tropes, funny, tongue-in-cheek
Cons: Very episodic (clearly a novelization of a D&D campaign), some fairly gruesome and grim moments (nothing compared to George RR Martin, though)
The narration was pretty good, though I did not care for the constant slurping of the troll’s voice. The narrator is also a pretty slow reader, I listened to it on 1.2x speed.

Different in a good way.
The plot is awesome and different. Imagine Lord of the rings or warhammer but from the orcs point of view. it's a little dark but hilarious the entire time. my only issue is the narrator, some voices like the main teams voice are perfect but the secondary or back ground characters voices are very similar and can get you confused. the main evil guy sounds like Jim Carrey's Grinch but that actually made it funnier for me. overall 4/5. remember grandpa was an orge and grandma was hollow.

It's good for what it is --
How would you like to listen to a story about neutral and evil characters? Have you ever wanted to see evil win? Then this is your book!
Now... that's not really my cup of tea, and having finished the book I'm feeling somewhat disappointed about having given this one a flyer / but that's not me arguing that this isn't a book for anyone. Far from it!
Character development in this book is rather good - each individual in the team has their own personality traits, perhaps traits that are basically D&D stereoptypes about their races, but nonetheless personalities that are absolutely consistent and appropriate. Lots of multi-race bickering.
The story is rather well executed, with the team moving from disaster to disaster, somehow succeeding in each case.
But despite some teasing later in the book about the possibility of the team concluding 'those humans aren't so different from us' - there's no such payoff to be had.
The fun of being bad, and all. That's this book.

Raunchy and Crude
I understand that the creatures are rough beings but the cursing and crude dialogue takes away from the storyline. The narrator is amazing, but the writing itself is poor.

A+ fantasy world, w/o authors love & proper pacing
This is not a book about misfit heroes. More like The suicide squad. A gathering of unwilling individuals of, at the very best, questionable morality. Main story is happening in the background, after heroes of the human-centric countries sabotaged an attempt at the time magic by the undead mage king who's ruled over a multi species country (incl. trolls, orcs, gnolls, ogres etc., species usually assosiated with the forces of the evil, excl. elfs, and with human minority) for centuries. Affected by the spell having gone astray human-/dwarf-/elf-centric countries mount the largest offensive ever against the mage king's kingdom while he's supposedly weekend after having attempted such a large scale spell.
Members of the Goblin Corps are unapologetically true to their character. The hotchpotch mix of a society ruled by the undead king, based on hierarchy of strength doesn't let the reader forget that it's being kept together by the citizenry's fear of the said undead king first and foremost. The characters of goblin corps members are more than what they first appear, this incongruity is 50/50 the expected, e.g. big hairy ape person whose main focus is eating, makes the keenest observations and offers simple but true solution, and the unexpected, e.g. the troll member of goblin corps.
The construction of the story is very hectic. Book starts in the middle of the fight between the heroes and the undead king, followed by a montage of the goblin corps assembling, then diving head first into the series of trial by the fire missions of the goblin corps. Starting the book this plot construction left me dumbfounded and stumbling to follow what's going on. Once the series of suicide missions start prior events take a back seat and focus in on adventure of goblin corps.
Conclusion: 2/5. Listened on Audible included in plus catalogue. Narrated by: James Fouhey. Book is not bad, felt like The Wandering Inn, but without the love the author of TWI has for his work. Great general idea for the fantasy world, exposition introduced in a forced way, right as the event is taking place (the city in the chasm, the (relics of) forgotten gods, etc.). The book suffers from it's construction. Hyper-focused on action, leaving very little time to enjoy the world and let the exposition rather than the dialogue drive the plot. Bad value for the length of the book - 1.61 $/hour (38.00 $ /23 hrs 37 mins ).
Values:
Terrible: >1.66 $/hour
Bad: 1 - 1.66 $/hour
Good: <1 $/hour
Dream: 0.4 - 0.27 $/hour
