About this listen

The Shadow Master Series: Books 1-3 is a darkly comedic SFF genre-hopping omnibus that chronicles the adventures of Jackson Blackwell, the universe's first villain advisor and the titular Shadow Master. A villain protagonist you love to hate. Or hate that you love him?

This fourth wall-breaking three-book collection showcases Jackson's adventures through fantasy realms, comic book universes, and classic space opera settings. Each fast-paced novel allows Jackson to flex his powers, skills, and wits as he exploits the rules, points out the respective genre's flaws, and undermines godly authority to win the day. All the while laughing at the expense of our beloved tropes. Because that is what villains should do, shouldn’t they?

This multi-award nominated (and even a win) collection contains:

  • Villains Rule: The Shadow Master, Book 1
  • Villains Pride: The Shadow Master, Book 2
  • Villains Deception: The Shadow Master, Book 3

This is the audiobook series that I’ve always been searching for. I’m on book 3, chapter 12 and just had to do a triple take. I’ve been looking for a humorous fictional series just like this and you have delivered. Interesting that so many walls are broken. I’m starting to wonder if I’m a character.

My interest as a consumer is finite. Did this story deserve my ears? yes, do I like most of the fantasy work that I listen to because my video game addled brain can't read fast enough to take this in quick enough? yes... did I love this story and everything to it? abso-freakin-lootly... does the world give a crap about my review? probably not... worth every damn credit.

Review this? it didn't deserve my time...

Text explaining why my review matters insert here. Funny quote from the book that you haven't read yet. And seriously this was super entertaining..

I sincerely hope the author and the narrators supporting cast included enjoyed making this audiobook as much as I enjoyed listening to it.

Author and Narrator(s) had too much fun

This series was absolutely hilarious! I have never laughed so much at a book, it was well written and now in my top five favorite books!

Amazing

I bought this specifically because of the sample. It was so good that I had to give this a shot. I know Jeffery Kafer from the Supervilliany saga. I knew he'd give another good performance. But the story is different from Supervilliany and it was refreshing. This guy is an actual villain. The rants fell flat a few times. But I enjoyed the story. Especially the ending of the third book. Gotta admit you got me. Didn't put it together. Will definitely continue the series!

Did not disappoint!

... Set the timer to 10 minutes and let it work its magic. It makes me fall asleep before the timer runs out. I discovered this power by accident, when I felt sleepy listening and driving. It must have been a plot to kill the listeners, but I thwarted it by using it at night.

I love to listen to this audio book at night...

I would like to start by saying I gave this book a chance I listened through the entirety of the first book, normally? I would never leave a review like this but with how the author directly talks about the listeners and does basically no world building where each book is essentially "but what if over powered character were in X generic setting?" I did try, I tried to listen to it because I couldn't get a refund and it was 26 hrs of content and I use audio books as background noise while I work but it was just, distractingly bad? there is nothing, no stakes, no character development, nothing, he isn't even a likeable villain. I strongly suggest the D-list supervillain books instead. This is more of a rant at this point but its just, I cant coherently put together how bad this book is.

Boring power fantasy book
