Delvers LLC: Golden Handcuffs

By: Blaise Corvin

Narrated by: Jeff Hays

Length: 11 hrs and 11 mins

Publisher's Summary

After helping save a country on Ludus from a demon invasion, Henry and Jason could use a break. Unfortunately, life moves on, and new problems will appear, especially for their friend, the new ruler of Berber. Being orb-bonded adventurers wielding powerful magic means they have the responsibility to do what others cannot.

Some members have left, and there will be new additions. The Delvers LLC team is solid. But while Henry creates new magi-tech and Jason perfects his deadly power, evil forces are gathering. The men from Earth had better enjoy what down time they have, because it’s not likely to last.

Events on Ludus and out among the rest of the universe are spiraling toward something terrible. Henry Sato, Jason Booth, and Nora Hazard might find themselves being drawn toward the center of the conflict, or knowing their luck, fall right into it.

kinda dissapointed

this book is more of a Nora book then an llc book so far. I'm 7 hours in and hope it gets back to what made llc good. Jeff is as great as always

edit: OK so nothing really important happened out side of the prolog and maybe a 30 min period near the end

don't buy till book 5 is out

i hate writing this review, but this book is not much of one...
after years of waiting we get what is essentially a layover...
it does a decent job of reminding us of who everyone is followed by BC manoeuvring the Delvers and Nora where he needs them to be for the next book as well as setting up the rest of the world...
this book has plenty of content, but very little substance.
I wouldn't be so upset if I didn't know that BC can do better than this, because the 5 star is only there for the Amazon algorithm, it is not earned on this books stand alone merit.

Jeff on the other hand does everything he can with what is given to him and he deserves praise for the result...

here's to hoping that BC gives us an actual Delvers book in 5 or I'm sad to say I might drop the series if this is what we should expect going forward...

filler and foreshadow

This book can completely be cut from the series and you would miss nothing. Stretched out side quest and introspection. The enemy are mentioned, you meet a few Grisious briefly, no great accomplishments or revalations.

Delvers X Hazard

The weakest entry into the Delver series. I wish the author wrote a recap chapter for both Delvers and Hazard, but instead Hazard is just shoehorned in and we are expected to have read the Hazard series. The problem is that each of the author's series are so different from one another that they're not all going to resonate with everyone. So if you never read or even disliked hazard... good luck (shes basically a female version of Henry; blunt and an asshole, but without the humor and is kinda cringe).

outside of the hazard, the story feels more of a Delvers book 3.5. the book moves at a snales pace and more of a side story.

another great entry in the delvers franchise

this is just as good as I was hoping for. if you have liked the series so far this will not disappoint.

Thank Dolos - Nora is just a Side Character

I'm very glad the main story finally returned. I powered through the three Nora Hazard offshoot books before listening to this one so I wasn't left in the dark about that character's parts in this book. I hated all three of those books, and I'm very glad to be back on track with the main story.

Turns out, Nora's part in this book was relatively minor, and I didn't NEED to listen to her books. I wish I'd known that before I bothered, so I'm mentioning it here for others to know.

More

Need more as soon as possible with the ending being leaving an impending event.

Love the work by sbt and BC. Keep it up.

Side quests and angsty relationships

I enjoyed the book but it was a bit disappointing. The purpose of the book seemed to be establishing everyone's relationship status and setting up the plot of the NEXT book.

need more

Amazing as always. Delvers keeps the action going and I can't wait until the next installment hits my ears. kudos to the narrator... top notch work!

Blaise brings another delight

my first read it on Kindle, and just finished listening to it on audible. I love this world so much, and this installation just made it better! really enjoy the character growth that you see, and the world building that goes on. I can't wait for book five to come out!

glad it's back but marine still sucks.....

Great book like the others and its even changed my mind on nora hazzard but marine still just feels like the worst part of each book not because its writen badly but because she's just not likeable and I would rather have more time spent on literaly anyone else
