A Market in the Maelstrom: A Slice-of-Life LitRPG Adventure

The Cozy Abyss, Book 3

De: Harmon Cooper

Narrado por: Matthew Wolf

A pubkeep in purgatory helps foster a friendly community in the face of monstrous terror in the final installment of this cozy LitRPG fantasy series.

Sylas Runewulf has a busy schedule for a dead man. Since taking up residency in the Underworld town of Ember Hollow, the fallen warrior has become a pub owner, a brewer, and a farmer. Now he's opening a long-awaited market for rare goods.

Furthermore, Sylas's social life is flourishing, with a cozy community of friends and neighbors and a budding romance to boot. He also has a fiercely protective cat, Patches, and dog, Cornbread, and plans to add a magical goose to the mix. Everything seems to be coming together nicely.

Except . . .

Danger continues to encroach upon Ember Hollow. The daily warnings Sylas receives of an impending onslaught from the Chasm's fiery hell can no longer be ignored. He must alert his entire community before it's too late.

Meanwhile, the magical barrier between the realms has suffered a breach. Patches and Cornbread can sense a deadly monster roaming the nearby forest—but it'll take more than a cat and dog to keep the town safe.

Pretty decent

I always hate listening to books before this series is complete, because the worst part is waiting for the next one to come out, but I will certainly be waiting for the next one. I did notice with this one, it wasn't as light as the others for a 'slice of life' book and pretty much the whole book had me waiting for the second shoe to drop with the cliffhanger ending leaving me with not such a good feeling. Hopefully book number four doesn't disappoint!

Absolutely delightful!

This was such a fantastic epic yet somehow still cozy ending to an absolutely wonderful series! I love how everything ended up. I love these characters, and I really hope there's a spinoff series or something some day because while the ending was amazing, I'm still not ready for this series to be over. I cannot recommend this one enough!

the worst book of the trilogy

I like Matt Wolf as a narrator, he did a bad job on this book. people's voices change making it difficult to follow and by the end he's not even doing voices, just reading.

now onto the book

it's bad. very bad. it's hours of nonsense conversations, arguments, and filler that doesn't move the book along. there's quests that have no conclusions, relationships that are left hanging, and time skips that don't make sense. It ends with you wishing the author would have gone and bought more paper so he could have finished the book. if the book was complete this would be different review.
