Length: 19 hrs and 52 mins

Publisher's summary

Logan’s sophomore year was fine. Destroy an ancient evil. Solve a murder mystery. Tell way too many silverware jokes. No big deal. His junior year, on the other hand, is shaping up to be the deadliest of them all. Shadowcroft Academy is hosting the Interschool Tournament, and though there is no Goblet, Logan and the Terrible Twelfth are about to find themselves tossed into the Fire.

With epic loot, lucrative sponsorships, and school bragging rights on the line, the tournament is guaranteed to be a bloodbath for all involved. Especially since a mysterious, masked dungeoneer with ties to Earth has set his sights on the tournament participants and is hell-bent on wiping them out, no matter the cost.

Good thing the Terrible Twelfth has a bevy of new classes to help them rise to the occasion, including Cruelty Incorporated: The Business of Destruction, Runic Haiku: Utilizing Power Word Syllable Poetry, and the traumatizing Brews, Beers, and Bubbles—Alchemy for Everyone, taught by an oddball professor that no one seems to remember.

In short, it’s just another year at good ol’ Shadowcroft, with even more mushroom action, a crocheting minotaur, a surprising amount of twine, and interdimensional conspiracy theories out the wazoo.

But it’s mostly twine. Twine all the way down....

From James A. Hunter—best-selling author of Vigil Bound, Rogue Dungeon, Bibliomancer (Completionist Chronicles Expanded Universe), and the LitRPG epic Viridian Gate Online—and Dragon Award finalist Aaron Michael Ritchey comes a brand-new Dungeon Core novel, like nothing you've ever seen before. Funny, funky, and full of Gamelit goodness, this is one novel you won't want to stop listening to.

Excellent follow-up, and good foreshadowing.

Truly enjoyed the homage to WWF/WWE, didn't like surfer bro chadagorath voice, glad it was dropped in the 3rd act. The Warning Bell show was a nice touch, to introduce new concepts to be used later.

Rocket worth every minute

It’s a good lesson and worth every minute. You should definitely give it a try.

such a cool series

this is a fun one! it keeps up with the Harry Potter esque feeling and has the main characters going thru some really neat power growths! for sure a must read.

A great 3rd entry!

This story was pretty good and punny. The stakes were raised and the challenges were almost impossible. I’ll always love this fungi adventure

This book help me with depression

Very underrated book definitely recommend reading and remember suicide is not an answer “ As long as you love you can do wonderful things “

Series continues to deliver

Loved this installment of the series. The expansion of the world has me eager for the next one

It all points to home

This was even better than the last book. Logan got even stronger, and he got to meet someone from home. The guy he fought against was a real tool. I look forward to the final book whenever it comes out.

great story

I really enjoyed following the main character and his kooky friends throughout their entire years at this academy can't wait to see what next year brings

Enjoyed it

Book 3 took a turn into slapstick silliness. While this series has been light hearted since the begining, this one seemed to go too deep in the direction of silliness. However, I still enjoyed the book and enjoyed the ending. Looking forward to year 4.

What a way to ruin a series.

As much as I greatly enjoyed the first two books, this book unfortunately was not great. I struggled multiple times with just not even wanting to finish it. The book is ridiculously repetitive in both its phrases and horrible puns and yes there were puns in the first two book but this book was not even trying to be written witty it came off as childish and annoy. But for me the worst part was the narrators take on the main villain it made me want to fast forward any of his speech and don't get me started on the fake Arnold teacher but fortunately it was very brief. The other thing that I found pretty annoying is that yes Marco is always been a little dense but they wrote him down right childish in this book.

I can't recommend this book at all there may be some people that aren't bothered by the horrible voice mimicry and the overall repetitiveness I'm just not one.
