Resumen del Editor

Happy endings rarely last forever.

Trouble returns to Cylvania as mysterious threats lurk on its borders and hidden conspiracies seek to undermine the new order of things. Celia is unwell, suffering from problems that Threadbare cannot understand, let alone fix. It is time once more for the little teddy bear to gather his party and venture forth, in hopes of saving the day.

But plots are in motion, and a troupe of traveling rabbit-kin actors may not be the friends they seem, especially with an airship full of bunny pirates on the horizon. Can Threadbare watch his yarrr's long enough to once again save his little girl? Maybe. Remember, he's very bad at being a hero....

Old friends and new allies await on this epic journey!

great!

I loved the political angles visited, adventurers are rarely shown dealing with the outcome of saving the world. I loved the Inclusion of nb and gnc characters. I haven't read the Small Medium series so I think I missed a cameo or reference, so I guess that's next for me.

a shift in tone

this is still a fun book. however, it gets darker and more politically complex. a tougher listen. also, the main character's voice shifted perceptively. which was odd and took some getting used to, even though it's the same performer.

Binge worthy

Never played a RPG but I have binged all 4 Threadbare. #4 is my fav!

I’m a wordly empath adult woman who dislikes romance & overly negative content (horror) But I like reality, dirt & grit. By reality I mean flawed characters. This book is about perfect for me. I really like where Andrew is going and the surprise details do not seem forced. I will definitely continue with the series.

Other books I enjoy Chronicles of Narnia, All Harry Potter, All Lord of the Rings, GOT.

Sci Fi & Fantasy that isn’t too deathy (GOT I skip parts), romance or too kid. It’s really hard to find good books in my niche so I hope this helps someone try something new.

Fingers crossed Threadbare is made into movies.

Not being a RPG or gamer it is hard for me to imagine some settings & characters. Am I the only one who would like online books to include a illustration album?

lots of right wing nuts in chat

don't be put off by the bad reviews, they're just behind times. great book. super funny and clever. Tim is my favorite narrator and continues to be with the great performance.

Good but falls flat in places

I did genuinely enjoy it, and it’s always nice to come back to Generica, but at times this entry in the series feels like it exists solely to set up further books and doesn’t have much of a point on its own.

Cecilia’s plot is reduced to a side story, which is a shame, since it’s honestly where most of the actually important stuff is happening. Note that the majority of the book synopsis focuses on Celia’s troubles, but the plot spends a ton of time spinning its wheels on a basic “Threadbare goes to fight a monster” quest.

In the end, the only thing that is actually accomplished is that all the important characters get gathered together to start a new journey. However, while it does feel like the book wastes time getting to this point, I am excited for the payoff for all this setup.

Step Down in Story Quality

As a lover of the original Threadbare trilogy, I can’t say this was a great addition to the overall story. Cecelia became a dumb damsel in distress, Threadbare is annoyingly co-dependent, minimal attention was paid to the lit-rpg aspects in favor of the childish drama and a host of artificially bad decisions that ramps up the drama but is highly inconsistent with how the characters acted in the original trilogy. The Mediocre little medium characters also have come over to drag down the narrative and will likely take up story time from the interesting host of characters in the original Threadbare world. Finally, shifting from a cadre of skin walking demons to a dumb bunny pirate rife with dumb puns… bleh. Hoping Seiple wipes his mind of whatever is going on and gets back to the basics of his previously well-written lit-rpgs (start by killing off the dumb bunnies and little medium characters and move away from the not so-subtle sociopolitical nods that most of us seek to escape in our fiction-based literature).

new storyline, same good fun and warm feelies

TW: this book has mentions of self harming thoughts/implied suicidal ideation/depression
A further warning:
This book does focus pretty heavily on (what other reviewers have been calling "political") issues of racial equality, marriage equality and other basic rights. If that's not what you want from your fiction, the series ends at the third book for you.
Also, the cursing and vulgarity has been turned way up, which, while I don't mind personally, could be jarring for some listeners.

Like every Threadbare book there's still adventure and battles and puns and pop culture references galore. It's a fun adventure. I can't say I liked it as much as the previous books, but I don't have
any real complaints, sometimes it's hard to find your feet on a new storyline.

Funny and full of puns!

Absolutely love this series from how it’s written to the narrator. It’s funny and punny has excellent character facing real and silly life events

FAN-tastic!!!

My whole family loves these books! They are so much fun. Reading or listening are both a sheer delight.

Read Small Medium series first

Good story, though as i didn't listen to Small Medium series first I felt like i was missing some plot points and character development. Still enjoyable overall, but i would highly recommend listening to that other series first before book 4 of this series.
