When Life Gives You Legends

De: Luna Ryder

Narrado por: Dorrie Sacks, Jeff Hays, Aaron J. Morton

Tilda Quickthatch gave up adventuring years ago and retired to small-town Briarhaven as the local tavern wench. But now the past she's worked so hard to keep hidden has come calling for her.

Its messengers? A group of misfit teens who insist she train them to pick up her mantle... or else. But what starts as simple "roll" play soon turns deadly when their antics attract the attention of a fearsome necromancer who never gave up searching for Tilda. He swoops in with a sinister offer: exchange the powerful artifact she stole nearly a decade ago for her former partner's life.

Now it seems this halfling rogue-turned-barkeep has no choice but to dust off her daggers, gather her pity of a party, and set out on her highest stake quest yet.

What could possibly go wrong? What could possibly go right?!

When Life Gives You Legends is a hilariously heart-pounding fantasy where being a hero means breaking a few stereotypes—and possibly a tavern chair or two. If you enjoy witty banter, magical mayhem, and rooting for the underdog, then you’ll love Luna Ryder’s outrageous adventure.

Entertaining story!

This is a perfectly entertaining book for an afternoon. Honestly, it's great if you're not into deeper LitRPG or just want something light to read. However, it does end kind of suddenly in my opinion. I will say, I wanted more of the story, a true conclusion.

poorly written characters

so many of the characters are bratty kids with no redeeming qualities. MC is like an over worked mom who just constantly rolls over. very frustrating story to listen to, which is sad because the main concept had a ton of potential.

The title of the book

I loved that this was a quick read & listen. I loved how the main character Tilda was mindful- and how they used enhancements to the audiobook with different voices for the characters.

nope

Bratty teens go on quest, fight amongst each other, get caught by bad guy, then book ends. No conclusion to story, no resolution, book just ends. I only finished it because I paid for it.

Fun and captivating!

This was a super fun, cozy read! The characters were wonderful, and the story was captivating but cozy. A wonderful listen, with amazing narration from the talented narrators with Sound Booth Theater!

In real life the stakes are always death

4.5 stars! Tilda is a retired adventurer, working as a bar maid in a quant town, and hoping her past never comes to find her. After 10 years, her past has found her by happenstance and given her an ultimatum... she returns the artifact she has in return for someone she cares deeply for. Tilda is strongarmed into taking some wanna-be teenaged adventures with her on her quest. They antics of these teenagers are exactly how you would expect teenagers to behave, even in the face of danger and possible death. It is a lot at times, and Tilda has to decide if she will continue. Now is Tilda's chance. Will she adventure up or run away again? This was a charming story, and it reads very much like a D&D story, I do look forward to further Tilda and company adventures.

"Yeah, well, this isn't exactly a book. It's real life, and in real life, the stakes are always death."
