Publisher's summary

New world. Old problems. Even gods must die.

Artorian has been given the lovely opportunity to run a realm and sort out all of its inherent issues. Not only does he get to chase around people with world-shattering abilities and force them into hibernation, he gets to break up his days by living through the worst portions of his life all over again. Nothing like trauma to fuel personal growth!

Nasty creatures Artorian thought were gone forever have begun appearing in the dark corners of the world, smiling at him with too many teeth. Between constant battles, Cal’s newfound love for math and pylons, the early stages of a world-spanning game system, and grumpy supervisors who refuse their bedtime…the sunny administrator has his now-tiny hands full. Exactly how he likes it.

The "Chains of Chaos" bind the author(s) too...

This book was again, very entertaining, but the storyline is just so chaotic, it becomes hard to follow at times. Listening was fun, but let's hope the next one is better!

Another great book!

This entry in Artorian's Archives is undoubtedly my most loved chapter thus far in the zany headmaster's backstory. As time marches unsteadily on, the denizens of Cal's soul space continue to grow their organizations and realms as they pursue the creation of Cal's end goal: Eternium, as experienced in the Completionist Chronicles. Complete with an astonishing cameo here at the end of the book, I'm convinced that fans will not be disappointed!

well that just happened...

if the changes in book 4 and 5 didn't put you off then honestly you should stop reading this and get to listening...

special shout out to Travis for the intended change to Artorians voice...

Good, but the ending...

so in most of Autorian's Archives the ending sets up for the next book, the same as this one. But for some reason the cliffhanger this time felt...less than the others for some reason. This is more opinion based review and I would still listen again, just probably with the next book at the same time.

Not long enough

With the abundance of different stories going on the lack of content coming from any of them is disappointing. I feel like a lot of information is being shoved into this characters series for convenience and if I wasn't interested in the "world" this story would have been TERRIBLY BORING. But as a kind of summation for the creation of the worlds used in other stories it is interesting.
Regardless of the intended audience, and thus whether they'd be interested the the way the world is created, without any other content being released why is this entry not 20 hours? Why stretch this across more than one book, just put all of the content into a single entry and that way it can be read by those people interested in it and ignored by others, because I feel like the rating isn't going to be very high due to the convoluted nature of the information being presented. If the next entry is more world building and establishment of how books further down the time line should be interpreted then its doubtful anyone will read the book after that. Which is unfortunate since you'd be sacrificing one of the more scholastic interpretations of what's happening.
Anyway, you need to make sure the book is worth the credit and edited so that the information can be understood after the 6 or so months between releases as, really, no one is going to know who devarash is unless they go back and check the previous book.

Absolutely marvelous!

Once again, the author and the narration team just utterly smashed my expectations! Fantastic story, and the writer never loses contact with how odd it is to be the MC with such a unique perspective.

Loved every minute of it!

I listened to it while at work and finished it in the car. Great story! And the last word spoken being the title of the book without any explanation for what Anima is set me off with a "F****** REALLY!" and I laughed a bit as I got home. Now I'm waiting for the next book of the Completionist series with Joe and some more pelvic thrusting of his spacial cod piece lol.
