Excellent end to an excellent trilogy

This was a satisfying conclusion to an excellent story full of varied characters and complex, yet grounded conflicts interspersed amid all the big world changing ones. The narrator did a great job keeping distinct voices for all the many different characters.

wraps things up

it was good to hear about the characters again. this book took a bit to get going, but was good once it did.

Deep characters, Excellent plot twists

I have been waiting for this book for so long and I’m not disappointed. I love how the story, characters, and morals are for people of all ages. They have the simplicity and depth that a child can understand, but that even a well seasoned adult can relate to. This book is not preachy, if it was, I wouldn’t have finished book one. I wouldn’t hesitate to gift this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy. I already know that I am going to come back to this series again and again. I ran a dnd campaign based off of this setting because of how much it inspired me.
The comedy of the office, mixed with the adventure of high fantasy. A genuinely amazing story from a brilliant author.

A great ending to a amazing journey

Honestly this was so well worth the wait, ever since I picked up orcanomics I knew I would love this story immensely from start to finish and J.Z.P did not disappoint at all. I love how the story changes your perspective on certain things and makes you feel for certain characters and all the twist. Something I wasn’t prepared for and some completely blew me away. After listening to all three books I would gladly recommend this series to anyone.

Satisfying ending to a clever, funny story

I enjoyed listening to this final part of the trilogy. It took me a few chapters to remember the players, but then I fell into the story and am sad to see it end. Very enjoyable and clever!

good 😊 liked it

it was a bit too deus ex machina and maybe a little too saccharine too.

Fantasy made as interesting as it should be

In this modern day, we are all assaulted by rote narratives via text, video, and performance that rot our brain. For this reason, I try to find books that I'd want my children to one day read so that they might learn something. This book comfortably fits that role, saving a generation from necrotic media and making you laugh from start to end.

hilarious, touching, and extremely well made

This is a fantastic finale for a great trilogy. the story is meticulously planned and everything fits neatly in place. I highly recommend this series to any fantasy fan out there

Starts a little unsure but delivers

Another great story of swords, sorcery, and company mission statements. Fans of the first two will have no trouble enjoying the book. It does need a little while to get rolling so stick it through the start and enjoy the ride

More Funny Fantasy

This book isn’t as funny as the previous 2, and honestly the first is the funniest by far. It still has plenty of funny lines, but is less comedic throughout. It’s a good book, a good end to a good series, and I liked it, but I wish the whole series kept the same amount of comedic tone, pacing, and character development as the first installment. It feels like the plot improved at the cost of the series’ original strengths shining less. I think the first book read like Discworld meets Dungeons & Dragons, but this book felt more like just Dungeons & Dragons with occasional jokes. It’s good, just not exactly what I hoped for going into it.
