series is amazing

what can go wrong when you have Craig Alanson and R.C.Brey providing a captivating story. I wish the books came out faster, but I know that quality over quantity is the best method and they do this over and over. so many audiobook series unfortunately go the latter route. this series is worth the investment of time and money!

More vacuum!

This series keeps getting better. Characters are coming into their own and the story is captivating. RC Bray is as always brilliant.

Love it!

This is a fun story with great characters that are well developed. There’s just enough “what the heck” going on in the storyline to escalate my listening intensity above casual. I like this kind of listen, and find myself laughing, and then thinking about what I’ve listened so far, and if I have any idea where the story is going. It’s unpredictable in a good way, and I can’t wait for the next title!

Best of the Series

Much better character development and storyline. It's good to see Kaz grow beyond giving "I'm new to this" and start being someone deserving of the team following and protecting. And that voice talent guy is "ok" 🤪
Bray the OK has a nice ring to it.
But seriously, just another example of why R.C. is considered one of the best in the voice talent business.

Great Addition

I really enjoy the work of both Alanson and Bray so this series was a no brainer. Great addition to the series and looking forward to more.

Flew Threw It

Wow, done and gone. Such a fun and entertaining book/series. Now I must wait for book 4. :(
Finally got some payback and went on the offensive.
I really like the demon vacuum cleaner and the stress it brought. Wanted it to join the merry band of wizardry.
Now things are getting good and Kaz is on the verge, hopefully, of learning more about magic and the Order.
Here is hoping the writing for book 4 is already about half way done!

Love this new set of story!

I like basically the whole series so far. It’s like skippy If he were a dog and cat and Joe if he were 23?
