Rise of the Living Forge 3

A LitRPG Adventure

De: Actus

Narrado por: Peter Berkrot

The Menagerie is finally free.

With the Iron Hounds defeated, the future is opening up before them. Their guild has started to make a name for itself and Arwin has plans to push them farther into the kingdom’s stage. He’s got the magical materials to work with to make some truly powerful weapons, and he doesn’t plan to just stop at swords and armor.

But a powerful guild doesn’t fall silently. Players that moved in the shadows of Milten see the new power vacuum and begin moves to claim it for themselves. Some seek revenge. Some seek power. Some seek something else entirely. The Menagerie, as it tends to find itself doing, stands in their way.

Bonds are tested. Foes, new and old alike, arise as Milten finds itself the face of an ever-growing battleground. Enemies aren’t the only ones moving. The Menagerie has drawn attention from all sorts of people…And some of them might be exactly what they need to continue their quest against the Adventurer’s Guid.

Love every bit of it

Judie’s to the writer and narration of the am, I really enjoyed this story actually had me laughing at various parts, I really couldn’t help myself. Characters were memorable unique and the story was magnificent

good, a few small things.

from what I could tell chapters 46 and 47 are swapped. but beyond that I enjoy the story and will be excited for the fourth book.

amazing book from an amazing series

This is my first series from Artus and has been absolutely an amazing series to listen to

Story is still good, but MC is starting to wear

I really enjoy this story and most of the characters, but the MC is starting to wear on me. His naievte and stupidty is getting annoying at this point. It also seems like the author is manufacturing drama out of easily avoidable situations.

Also while the narrator is serviceable, he doesn’t do a good job at differentiating some of the characters.

Hoping the author improves the story and MC to keep the story engaging.

Great storytelling

This is very well written series. There is steady character growth and maturity without it becoming ridiculous. The story itself has a well thought out progression, starting small and gradually building and becoming more complex as the story continues. The narration is pleasant and flows well. Overall, an excellent litrpg audiobook.

great addition

this story expanded the lore and set up the stage for more in the next book

Amazing.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite series. I love all the characters and the world this book is set in.

too long for the objective of the story

I love this series and the book over is good out of the 3 unfortunately this is the weakest but I get the objective of the book. This is a heavily character building book but I feel it was too long to develop but a good book and the narrator awesome performance as usual I can't see anyone doing this series overall I love this series and I'm looking forward to the next book 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Soooooooo good! And one of my top favorites! Actus is golden!

Ohhhh! Man! Soooooooo good! Actus is golden! Every book they've written has always been one of my top favorite reads for the year! Yeah, I've read them all! And Rise of the Living Forge 3 has now been added to that list... I adore Arvin and Lillia, plus the entire guild, The Menagerie. Hey it's really a small team as far as guilds go, sitting at just 7 members. And first there's a dungeon to dive into and conquer, looking for loot and well things to cook, because what Innkeeper doesn't want to serve up Wyrm meat to their guests! 😆 Plus what Smith doesn't want scales, teeth, and claws? So as the story progresses we get into Anna and Rodrick's back story and it's a doozy. But believe it or not Madiv actually has some very thoughtful comments for Anna to mull over 🤔!
So yeah go grab the audiobook to find out what happens. To double check on Arvin, Lillia, and the Menagerie to see how their all doin with the power-ups and their new skills! And you really don't wanna miss out on Peter Berkrot's nuanced performance... Ohhhh and yeah as a side-note of the last 4 audiobooks I've listened to 3 were done by Peter Berkrot so that may be telling!

Book 4, when?

The only thing you should be checking is when book 4 will be out because I now need a new series ASAP while I wait.
