For More Than Loot

This was a fantastic book that follows the MC Bogart, who might just be the most unlikely hero. The book has humor, along real to life struggles, and of course a goblin who is more than any other. I really enjoyed how Bogart’s character changes throughout the story from a goblin who’s only care if for gold, to a goblin who’s only care is for gold and the recognition of a hero, no matter how crass they may be. I who 100% recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of the genre or who is looking for something different from the genre.

Fantastic narration by Evan Sibley. This is the first book I have heard from this narrator and I must say I am impressed with the narration performance.

A Whimsical Quest for Riches!

Bogart's thrilling rise from rags to riches will leave you grinning ear to ear. With a fantastic narration by Evan Sibley, Han Yang and Pearce Adams deliver a snarky and action-packed fantasy adventure that keeps you hooked until the very end. So grab your gear, sharpen your wit, and get ready to join Bogart on his hilarious and perilous journey for fame and fortune!

5 stars

Another great book by Han Yang and Pearce Adams. You will not be disappointed. Also Evan Sibley's narration really brings the story to life. I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Goblins RULE!!!

Oh, wait. That's supposed to be "Gnomes rule!"
But not in this book.
Bogart the goblin thief wants gold and recognition and learns what it's like to get them.
This is an awesome fantasy adventure book with a goblin as the MC but not as the most powerful character.
This book is well written and narrated.
I give this book 8 out of 5 stars.

The Good, Bad, and Overall...

The Good: Narrator did a good job with what he had to work with. It's entertaining at moments. If you have an 8 year old interested in goblins and adventures they will most likely love this.

The Bad: This reads like a GM decided to publish their last gaming session, and the GM is a softie and always gives their players an out. Eventually you quit being concerned if a character is going to die, because, you know, the GM is a softie. I don't mind the profanities as I'm sure each race has a list of corresponding terms, but the use of idioms from our reality really took me out of the moment (IE: brownie points). One more gripe, and a mini-spoiler, the mimic predominantly on the cover is only in the story for about 50 seconds. So don't expect a clever encounter or story arc.

Overall: If you like being led by the nose you might like this. The goblin is the only character to be given barely any development, and the rest of the party are your standard trope characters. I assume the other raving reviews are from friends and family. I'll give it a 2nd listen but I will not be continuing the series.
