Emerita Boxing Day

Luck's Voice, Book 6

De: Daniel Schinhofen

Narrado por: Andrea Parsneau

Doc left Deep Gulch behind him, setting out to Furden to continue spreading Luck’s name. The trip to the capital of Coalrud gave him yet another opportunity to use his knowledge to start new business ventures. While the hot springs would take time to prepare— Doc had a vision for it becoming a tourist destination—that was far from the last thing he’d get involved in during his stay.

The city had allies to make, the most notable being David Roquefell, whose family used to worship the goddess of trade. The wealthy man quickly became a close associate and friend to Doc and his family. Together, Doc spun out other ways to make money, knowing he’d need them in the future.

Along with Roquefell, Doc tied himself to the Ironbeard dwarven clan that made Furden their home. Becoming their shaman wasn’t difficult, even with one of the older elders being uncertain of Doc’s ideas.

It wasn’t all an easy, happy time for Doc, though—Furden also had its unsavory people. The sheriff, Donadin, was all too happy to take bribes, but wasn’t as blatantly corrupt as Grange had been. Michael Strongarm, a local businessman, held a majority of the river property, using them as slums. It was clear that Strongarm thought little to nothing of the bestials that lived there. That grated on Doc, setting the two men up for a coming conflict.

The most worrisome person there was the soulsmith, Richard Steward. Steward had been a little too eager to get his hands on soul stones for his own purposes. Doc found that the twisted man was using them to control the bestial women of the Iniquitous Den, taking away their freewill. That put the two men on a collision course that was coming quickly.

With plans in the works and his allies and enemies aiming to remove him, Doc knew the future would be uncertain. Even if things turned deadly, Doc would keep pressing on. Even if the road became difficult, he’d keep putting one foot in front of the other.

very cool

another awesome entry into the alternate version of a western Earth. huge fan of the author's writing. this is an easy recommend for me. the narrator has never done less than a amazing job with her performance in my opinion. I was a little confused by the title but it paid off in the end. I believe in the next installment of this story will see the characters moving on to a new town. it was good and I don't want to risk spoiling anything for anyone. it does feel like things have kind of kicked up into high gear. I don't think we're going to see doc visiting every place on this world but simply the key locations. I do think that that Darkness that he's fighting against is going to be moving around at the background. I really don't know what's going to happen but I am interested in finding out. it's been a hot minute so I don't remember what the lineup is for what's coming out down the line. but I do remember is that we're only going to get one more Aether guard this year and as of the time of this review the final binding word which should be the ending of this year. anyways, I will surely say Well done to everybody who had a hand in bringing the story to us, the audio book listeners.

Another hit!

Andrea does it again as she brings another DS book to life coupled with the fantastic writing of the Ms himself in one my favorite series ever! Awesome sauce!!

Wild Wild West

With this newest installment of the Lucka Voice series, it was found to be quieter than previous installments.
With Doc and family now heading into the West, I hope to see a bit of rougher environments to tackle.

Usually love this series but it fell short.

I really enjoy this series and always find myself grinning or emotional throughout the book. However the final boxing match felt hollow. Doc knew he could win at any moment of his choosing which ruined the tension that was built throughout the book.

There could if been a whole thing about the perk being expensive but he had faith his preparation would be enough. By round 2 he knew he couldn't do it but saw he was close to getting it due to his clerics constantly working/people believing in hin and just had to last x amount of rounds. Then could of gone on about how the faith/ perk were a direct manifestation of the people he has helped and they represent goodness fighting back (cue uppercut) etc.

When comparing climaxes like when Posie was kidnapped this one felt forgettable.

Great book

I love the details of the world. especially when it comes to the differences between the world and Earth. Hopefully we'll see some of the clerics again in a later book as well.
