Publisher's summary

Faced with overwhelming odds, this crafty Dungeon Core must use all of her knowledge to establish her dominion, not only over the nearby dungeons, but over her own sense of self.

The death of one of her Orcish mercenaries has sent Sandra into a spiral of rage and revenge, focusing on the four Dungeon Cores that attacked her. Unable to prevent herself from invading the rival dungeons with the misguided intent of destroying their Cores, the consequences of which would be devastating, the craft-loving former merchant struggles to regain control of her actions caused by the remnants of a Core shard invading her own mind.

Her friends, meanwhile, have their own problems. Violet, Felbar, Echo, and Gerold were sent back to their respective homelands to warn their leadership about the upcoming threat of enhanced Dungeon Cores, as well as obtaining help to contain them, but each representative has met with some hiccups along the way. Extricating themselves from their unexpected captivity becomes a priority, if only so that they can get back to the wasteland and Sandra’s dungeon. Unfortunately, events and threats back home require their attention before they can return.

Will her friends be able to break free from their chains of imprisonment in time to prevent the crafty Dungeon Core from making an irreversible mistake? Can Sandra overcome the incessant thoughts of retribution and regain control of her mind and actions?

the craftiest!!!

Great story and narration!

Our lovable crafting dungeon is back and under siege from the dungeons surrounding her! Will her friends be able to warn the sentient races and time to prevent catastrophe? Will she be able to defend against the unending hordes of the dungeons united against her?

Louise does a great job with the narration!

This was a great book, and I can't wait to find out what happens in the next one!

Loving how this series is playing out!

This book took the series in the exact direction I was hoping for. I really enjoyed it.

"Bonds of people is the true power."

Watching Sandra confront the darkness within her is rough, but seeing how she overcomes it is even better. The bonds that Sandra forms with others, both literal and not, are at the heart of this volume. Jonathan Brooks does a great job of tying everything so far together and starting to get things resolved. In some respects this almost feels like the best book of this series, although as it isn't the end it should be amazing to see just what is lying in wait in the final volume. This book almost feels like a finally, until the end where we get a hint of a threat that makes everything seen so far seem mild in comparison. Incredibly well done, and although this volume doesn't really stand on its own (side effect of being planned as part of a series) it definitely helps the series as a whole to shine incredibly well.

I have been waiting for this one

This is a great series, I really like the performance from Louise Cooksey aswell, I am looking forward to get into another dungeon world

The cliffhanger ending

I’m in need of book 6!!!!It could of left a open opening but those last 10 minutes really reeled me in.

Good story, flat dialogue

I still enjoy the story, but the dialogue feels particularly flat in this one. My three points on this are such. First, characters often exposite their thoughts in unnatural ways. Second, all characters express themselves with the same phrases, sentence structure, etc. despite being from different cultures. Third, no matter the circumstances, a conversation almost always starts or ends with one of the characters saying "What!" whether in surprise, question, or excitement. I don't think you'll understand this last one until you listen to it, but it truly makes the dialogues feel very formulaic: question, answer, alternate solution, express surprise

WOW 10/10 book 😍👍👍

Omg love this series Soo good I can't get enough of it.10 stars for me this series is a must read from the dungeon core series. soooooo sadddd there isn't a book 6 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

wow

Wow just Wow!!!!!! I cant wait for the next book in this series the plot twist I love it. great work.

Dungeon under siege

Sandra’s dungeon is in trouble. There are four dungeons trying to destroy her and she has a homicidal dungeon fragment trying to take her mind over. Her bonded friends are no where to be found. She has to find a way to regain her control and defend her dungeon if she can save the people of the world.

What a great series! This is my favorite of Jonathan Brooks dungeon series. All of the characters are very well developed. There were only a few parts when I was busy trying to tell her what she needed to do. I am really looking forward to the next book in the series. I enjoyed this series very much!

We love unity and Goblin cores

This was an excellent book. Now I understand why there’s a goblin on the cover. It is amazing that Sandra was able to connect with another core, and the core was human at one time. I’m sorry I waited so long to listen to this one. Off to the final a book.
