Resumen del Editor

A whole new world. Well, the framework. Surely nothing will go wrong.

Artorian shrugged off moonfall and war like it was a gentle rain and must now face new trials. Specifically: life in the world created by the Dungeon Core, Cal. Unfortunately, Cal has only put together the most bare-bones of systems.

He's no stranger to solving near impossible problems; how difficult could it be to smooth out the slew of angry Mages with bitter rivalries, uncountable hidden secrets, a complete inability to cultivate, and a Dungeon creating messes at full speed? One way or another, it is up to Artorian to pick up the pieces. He’s ready to roll up his sleeves and administrate.

There are some very serious holes in this world, and the old academic is determined to fix them.

loved it

love how he tied the 3 series together. absolutely brilliant. can't say how much I loved it

Good but Lacking a lot

Ok if I was 12 I'd think this was great. I Am Not, The first 4 books were great, this was filler, bad filler.
He obviously lost his focus or had to many ideas he tried to flood into this book that he ruined the book.
Travis Baldree did a great job, however Vanderkerken let us all down, as did Krout.
I'm returning this book and wondering if I'll ever buy another Dakota Krout book again.
DAKATO KROUT SANCTIONED THIS BOOK, THAT SAYS A LOT TO ME.
Time to find a new author.

Good, but with context

To new readers, don't read this book first. Start at the beginning with book one.

To everyone else, the good and the bad.

Good: explanations are shorter/condensed and seem to get the point across better than previous books. There is a whole lot more DOING than in some of the other books and its fun to see Eternium flushed out more. Also, kinda nice to see how thing here set up things in the completionist chronicles, gives a lot of setting or just history to what might be up in the other series. Also, there were good twists that I liked with some of the side characters.

Bad: new characters and cliff hangers. so not many new characters get introduced, thank goodness, but if there was ANYTHING I had to complain about, and I am pulling out a microscope to find a few, is that some feel like they could have been flushed out a little more. Thats it. they were all lovely and relatable, none felt like theywere a hollow cut out but more on them would have been nice even if it would have derailed the flow a little. Lastly ****SPOILER**** cliff hanger, it ended with an upbeat cliff hanger, but still a cliff hanger. (Sigh...) Oh well.

All in all, if you have made it through Arsenal than this is a good one to pick up. The narrator is top notch so it is pleasant to listen to.

Would recommend 9/10

Relaxing

People may complain about this book, but it is exactly what it needs to be. A new world needs new world building and Artorian is still the same entertaining old man. Sure there may not be a BBEG, but this answered questions I had about the Completionist Chronicles.

loved

I loved this book and the series and cant wait to listen to the rest

Quickly becoming my favorite series

Travis Baldree is the perfect narrator for Artorian. He brings the archive world to life in such an amazing way. Even after 5 books, there is just so much to explore in this world. It is so fun to watch the characters try and fail, then mess things up in unexpected ways. I really see this series as a bridge between all of the other facets of Mountaindale universe, and I can't wait to see how everything finally comes together.

Acme Artorian Archives Review

I enjoyed this book a lot. It’s an excellent addition to the Divine Dungeon series. The whole creating a universe plot line had me worried that it wouldn’t have been as interesting as the driven plot prevalent in The Completionist Chronicles and earlier Divine Dungeon books. I’m was overjoyed to find that this was not the case. It still finds interesting character development and storylines despite being completely separate from the main plot lines. Over all a great listen.

Amazing

This book was amazing as always. Dakota krout reqlly out did himself with this one.

A relaxed story telling experience

No drama, no muss, and a lot of fuss. This story was a wonderful relaxed tale post-book 5 about world and universe management as seen from a "gods" perspective. This story won't draw very many new things, but it is very enjoyable, funny, and relaxed. I enjoyed every minute of it. My biggest problem with these side tales or post tales is that they don't say where or when they take part on another tales time-table. For instance, book 7 of AA says its taking part in Completionist, with no context on what book of completionist it will be in. (assuming of course)
I just wish the previous AA said which book should be where. This book doesn't explicitly say its directly after book 5 of Divine Dungeon either. Which isn't a problem, just mildly annoying as listeners have to puzzle it out.

Can't wait for another

I wasn't sure where the author was going to go with the new narrative. I am more than pleasantly surprised. this might be my favorite so far.
