The Fallen Bard

World of Chains, Book 2

By: Lars M.

Narrated by: Justin Thomas James, Laurie Catherine Winkel, Jeff Hays

Daniel's (updated) guide to early retirement, version 2.0:

1. Intercept illegal money transfer from mafia boss. (Complete success. Except for the part where I was discovered and almost caught.)
2. Hide out in super-exclusive full immersion virtual reality game until the heat is off. (Doing fine so far. They may have figured out that I’m in-game. Still, it’s a huge game, so no problem, right?)
3. Roll a bard. Max out charisma. Live it up. (Two out of three ain’t bad. We’re just postponing the "live it up" part a bit.)
4. Profit. (Still almost two years to go for that. Think happy thoughts!)

He could have been way worse off. Sure, Daniel was stuck in-game as the local bard of a quaint village, but people were nice, the quests juicy, and the lore intriguing. Even so, with the mob on the look-out, Daniel would soon find himself sorely tested to avoid detection.

Disclaimer: Still no harems in this series, even with a bard MC. Go figure. We’re going light on the cursing and less light on the puns. You were warned.

Could have been better

So I really enjoyed book one, the story was I intriguing. The second book was okay, it got really predictable. I lost interest in the MC, I wanted to know more about the pet lizard. The performance was great and I, loved the music. Not sure if I want to get the next book in the series.

So glad I bought this

Absolutely amazing story. But I got to say, the best part about this book was the end..with all the music.

great book! and fantastic naration!

great book! and fantastic naration! im new to the genre, but this one is extremely well made and a good second book in the series!

Another one

I feel like I'm starting to sound like DJ Khalid. This book is a masterpiece from beginning to freaking end. The writing is absolutely amazing, and the narrators are beats. I couldn't have asked for a better book to listen to in these trying times. Thank you sbt, you guys have a fan for life.

excellent content

The story and performance are excellent, the only criticism I have is that the story speed and progression are too slow. level 3-4 after two books is pretty sad
