The Saga of Tanya the Evil, Vol. 11

Alea Iacta Est

De: Carlo Zen, Richard Tobin - translator

Narrado por: Erin Rieman

Anyone can tell that continuing the war is ludicrous. The question now is not whether to, but how to end the war. Colonel Lergen has been working on brokering a truce in Ildoa for some time now, yet peace seems farther than ever. Bringing the war to a close in a way that everyone can stomach may be harder than surviving on the eastern front.

In the meantime, people like General Rudersdorf and General Zettour are beginning to move in the shadows. If a resolution isn’t reached soon, things are only going to get even more dangerous...

excellent

Great as well, but my concern is that there was no need to rid of Rudersdorf is there was going to be war with Ildoa regardless

Damn the end is near

I loved this entry specially the action. The character development is special splendid for Zetour (unsure of spelling). I am looking forward to the next book. Hope to see Tanya rampage more.

Ildoa

The invasion of a frustrating ally finally happening. The build up to it is amazing, and the unending feeling of hopelessness for the Empire is great for the setting. Feels like the only option is war with everyone wanting to destroy them. Tanya really will have to fight the world to find her peace.

Lack of Tanya

It was a good story, but I missed Tanya being in it more than she was. I was amazed about the invasion, not a great move there, but maybe there is a plot behind it.

Big things

Production side:
Erin Rieman has really got the characters down and her voice work from her first volume of narration has improved a lot. I take back any previous criticism on that front. Nice work!

Story:
The previous volumes' build up pays off when many things suddenly happen at once. The direction of the war, plan B, the diplomatic talks--they all pay off here. That does however open many new doors and avenues for theorizing how Tanya will navigate it and whether or not she'll finally land the peaceful office job of her *evil* dreams.

Generally:
Unfortunately, Mr. Zen seems to release only about one book per year. sometimes a bit more, sometimes far less. They're great books, mind you, but in about 6 months or so, us english audiobook listeners are going to have massive waits on our hands. Likewise Unfortunately, this also means the likelihood of volume 14 (and subsequent volumes, probably concluding in vol 20, according to web novel comparison threads) will either have their audiobook Production suspended indefinitely, or each new volume we get, which will be rare occurrences, will have a new or different narrator, which will be jarring for future listeners. Anywho, that's my *ONLY* negative comment.

Definitely recommend this series

another fantastic entry

we are In the end game now, if you enjoyed previous entries this won't disappoint, but one issue is at hand, one of personal preference, and that is character development, and outside of the salamander group, tanya not included, characters do not change.
