About this listen

Threadbare has been kidnapped by pirates!

But this is just the first step in the plan of the malevolent and mysterious puppeteer who's manipulated the pirates into bear-nappery. Which was supposed to be a proper princess kidnapping, but things went a bit sideways.

To uncover this strange mastermind's plan and properly thwart it, Threadbare must play along, keep his friends alive while they attempt to rescue him, make new friends, and help the old ones during this dangerous journey to parts unknown, all to confront the deadly and devious beastkin known only as the Phantom of the Lop Ear…

Not my favorite, but still great

I got book 1 on sale and have been working my way through the other books in the Threadbare series as I can. This is a great series, but if you don't like less serious, lighter, and a less hurried story pace, you might not like this series. I think it's great. I read it between my apocalyptic series, star sagas, and other intense stories and I find it cleanses my mind’s palette.

I was curious what others were saying about the series and I ran across some reviews with complaints about political wokeness. The ??questionable?? passage was a single 10 second portion where one of the characters were discovered to be transgender and Threadbare basically said it's not my business nor does it bother me, you do you. An author takes from their own experiences and the world around them for inspiration and to call it political or WOKE because an author lightly touched on an issue that is so prevalent is “Stuff & Nonsense.” I seriously would expect animal-human hybrids to “sew” more outcry and to get people up into “arms” than a quick blurb recognizing that people are different and it's okay. If you are offended by animal-human hybrids with “Bunny Feets”, a 10 second blurb acknowledging a single transgender character, or one of the many “phantom” things that someone could work themselves up over, you should probably avoid this book and any other work not found on the Florida schools approved reading list. And yes, I did work portions of the first 6 book titles into my above comment. :D

Serious threads

the main character in this series sees a pretty distinct change in their outlook due to what happens in the book. it was a good choice by the author, and an organic change for the character.

Funny and entertaining

Enjoyed this series muuuch more than any of the others ive listened to by this author. The plots engaging with well developed, lovable characters and tons of meta humor throughout. I found it pretty funny, depends on your sense of humor i guess but i felt he did great in that aspect of the book. In this one we follow threadbear posing as Celia and get to know his bunny captors a bit and find out more about this "lop ear" character. Theres a few characters that were reintroduced from the "blasphemy" series preparing for the inevitable combination of this cast and that one but i was a little disappointed he didnt lean into that side of the story more. The next book isnt long enough to fit all the explanations he left out of the ending of that series as well as wrapping up this one ( trust me i know, I've already finished it). I feel like he couldve spent more time doling out pieces of the puzzle so our beloved teddy could start putting them together into a semblance of a picture. There were some minor things in this book tying it together with blasphemy but i felt like there was entirely too little..

Diversity embraced

I really enjoyed the real issues raised in a light hearted way. The puns were exceptionally dad quality! I thought it may have been a teen or child’s book series at one point, it handles adult themes quite well.

Good series it’s worth it

I have few thoughts on some parts of the book in some of its changes but still a good series.

My favourite series still great!

I’ve read a lot of litrpg, and this series continues to hit home-runs in terms of premise, world building AND interesting characters, with a heavy dose of Puns. And Tim Gerard Reynolds is perfect for the series. I’m glad he’s stuck around since the first book.
