Teresa: Everybody Loves Large Chests (Vol.5)

By: Neven Iliev

Narrated by: Jeff Hays, Annie Ellicott, Justin Thomas James

Length: 14 hrs and 52 mins

Publisher's Summary

The war is in full swing. Following the unprecedented outcome of the siege at Fort Yimin, both the Republic and the Empire are forced to drastically reevaluate their plans for the conflict. With matters on the western front more or less settled for the moment, the warring nations turn their attention toward the eastern theatre. Winter looms on the horizon, threatening to deadlock the region and put a temporary halt to hostilities. With both sides planning to deploy bold and unconventional strategies on top of committing vast resources, it’s anyone’s guess which of them will come out on top.

Indeed, neither government is shying away from resorting to underhanded, questionable, or downright amoral means. The Gilded Hand has been stepping up their efforts to further Spymaster Edward Allen’s schemes. The Empire’s intelligence agency is also looking to field its most powerful enforcers in the coming battles. The Republic’s Foreign Intelligence Bureau is having a hard time keeping up, but they are not without their own dirty tricks. Rumors within the royal palace of the Horkensaft Kingdom to the east suggest that the dwarves and gnomes are on the verge of aiding the elven nation. Something that wouldn’t have been made possible without the Republic’s deep coffers, and the less-than-reputable individuals that fill them.

Boxxy T. Morningwood isn’t one of those shady contributors. If anything, it’s been steadily draining the government’s resources as it forces them to pay exorbitant fees to resolve issues that the monster itself creates. A trend it plans to keep following for as long as it can lie, cheat, and murder its way through life.

Which, barring something ridiculous like divine intervention, is poised to be a very long time indeed.

Content warning: Profanity, gore, violence, explicit adult content.

Neven Iliev once again gave us something tasty

If you read the first 4 Books or Audiobooks you know what to expect and yes this one is at least as good as the first four. The Story moves along in a nice pace and the Voice Cast is, once again, perfect. If you liked the the first Books you will love this one as well.

Boxy told me to demand Mortimer!!!

Give us the next book!!! Boxy demands it! A new book would be tasty and who doesn't love tasty stuff?

A wonderful continuation for a deceptive chest.

Soundbooth brought the entire cast of characters to life once more, always a treat to listen to this series!

Now to eagerly await the next one :).

Loved it!

More boxy adventures please :) I absolutely love these books I can’t wait for more and would advise every one to bye them!

Partial comeback from book 4

This book is a decent rebound from the fourth book.
The narration seemed to actually get a bit worse for some reason. The male voices were all pretty similar, while not being a normal voice. They were all gruff like the spy master of previous books.
The story itself was better than book four, but not as good as the first three. There's more of the pointless conflict around sexuality that the fourth book had, but much less of it. It doesn't fit the story at all and completely ruins the flow. It seems clear that it was thrown in either as poorly made propaganda to support the author's political/world views, or as pathetic pandering to sell books. Any author who can make a violent, abusive sexual relationship between a hermaphrodite fiend and masochistic succubus seem normal could do a much better job with something as simple as a lesbian relationship.
The overall comedy is still lacking compared to the first three books. In return there's a little more plot, but not much. A lot of time is wasted trying to build up the story, but never delivering too much. Pointless interactions that merely fill time, never adding any entertainment or developing the characters. Meanwhile Boxxy's new (potential) allies and the Goddess Teresa herself get far less time than they should.

Best book in the series!

This book will make you laugh out loud, and root for a man eating monster. 10/10!

loving large chests

another great addition to boxy and another amazing performance by the great narrators and soundbooth

Very... Average.

The whole book just felt like filler. Really long Un needed explanations. With a very dumb abrupt ending. These books are slowly getting worse. Was way better first 3. Ever since Kira came in I kinda checked out hoping boxy would return.

best one in the series. just keeps getting better

first book was good but not sure whether id stay with it. im so glad i did!

fantastic book. fantastic narration.

fantastic book. fantastic narration. great series. this book is the best in the series so far. never know what lies around the corner

Not as good as the rest of the series.

Not enough murder and violence for my tastes. Loved Morgana. I've read the whole series online.

great book, outstanding narration/production

An excellent follow on to the series with Boxy T Morningwood developing his emotional range following the tail end of last novels massacre. This book sees more of the deities come into play, some shady organisations and more of the wonderful dark humour that keeps listeners coming back to this series. Phenomenal narration and production effects, Jeff, Annie and Soundbooth really deliver. Hilarious post novel credits, worth it just to listen to those.

Music and sound effects adds SO MUCH!

If you’re this far into the series, you know what it’s about. If you haven’t read/heard any of it... trigger warnings, not for kids, etc.

Despite the above, I really like this series, particularly Morgana (Book 4). Morgana seems like the point in which Iliev ranked up his [author] job and this book is a strong sequel.

Normally I avoid abridged audiobooks like the plague, preferring pure narration. This isn’t actually abridged, but it carries many of the trappings you’d expect.

That said, the music and sound effects make the whole book more engaging without detracting from the narration at all.

This has become my gold standard for production quality. Well done production team. Audible now needs a third rating category for production quality.

Teresa - Everybody Loves Large Chests

Following on nicely from Morgana and with excellent narration as the previous books. A delight to listen too. Now for Mortimer. 😋

Tasty

Tasty, so very tasty. And also very shiny too, if I must say so myself.

Everything is just getting better.

The story, voice, music, everything! I got quite attached to the characters and their voices too. Reading this series would've been awesome but listening to it? Thou represented the most outstanding performance so far!

so much fun

the last chapter of this book is probably the most fun I've had in the last 600 books I've listened to. haven't laughed like that in a long, long time.

Thanks Neven. 11/10 Tastiness.

Great performance

The audiobooks for this series just keep getting better. The stories are fun and the performance, music and sound design make it very engaging.

clever, funny and as always, pervy

I love these books. I just need to find someone I can reccomend them to without them calling me a wierdo.

Absolutely love this series

I can't wait to see what's next for Boxy and his crew of misfits.
