If given the chance to be a genius, few people would say no. Outstanding talent is a key component of great success, after all. What form this ‘great success’ takes is largely up to the individual, but it is often associated with money, fame, and power. Selfish pursuits, yes, but it is only natural to look out for number one first and foremost. This is true even of the altruistic. For instance, if some wonder-child figures out a foolproof way to achieve lasting world peace they would still need an immense amount of influence and resources to turn that idea into reality. And then, the more they struggle to achieve their vision, the more the harshness of the world frays away at their moral fiber until they become jaded, disillusioned, and unwilling to sacrifice their own gains for the benefit of the unwashed masses. It is a tale as old as time.

A tale that Boxxy never cared for. The prodigal shapeshifter skipped all that sappy stuff and jumped straight to the ‘selfish asshole’ part, as befitting a true-blooded monster. The only good that thing’s ever done was either coincidental or with ulterior motives in mind. Dismantling conspiracies, taking down crime lords, culling dangerous beasts–every move it makes is done with the purpose of increasing its bottom line or extending its life expectancy, usually both. Its latest scheme is no different. It just has to dump those troublesome triplets on someone else and find a cure for its demonic affliction that doesn’t involve the one-time divine favor it fought so hard to get. The first half is more or less settled and just needs time. That second bit will prove far more challenging. Though the monster is a genius in various fields, tainted souls don’t fall within its area of expertise. On the upside, some other prodigy with the appropriate talents will have surely figured this out already. All the shapeshifter had to do is find them, capture them, and then torture the information out of them.

No, Boxxy, please don't leave us!

One of the best (unfortunately not so well known) series on Audible. I really hope this journey does not end here. Please stay!

whats not to love

More please, Boxxy I need more shiny!! Better than some of last few books, they are still fun!

nice. addition

the last two books are not coming out on audible :( kinda disappointed book seams to be a setup for the last books

still going strong

The story continues to flow like water. Hopefully i will remember that the flow of books will leave audible, so i can follow it.

Another good tale

A fun and interesting story with a very enticing ending, sadly this will be the end of the road for me as I refuse to have multiple apps to follow one story. So long and thanks for all the fish.

really good story development

Audible has seriously messed up by not making sure this series continues on audible. Going to another app to enjoy the rest.

never stop

i hope these books never stop! each one better than the last. i cant eait to see what's next

Boxxy is BACK!

As usual this is an epic listen. Laughed my a** off. Soundboard Theater never disappoints.

Last ELLC on Audible?

First to the review of the book: Excellent as always! The author and Sound Booth does an amazing job and delivers another hit in this series. I waited on pins and needles for this release and consumed it as fast as was able and still take in the story. If you like morally grey to our right selfish protagonists then this series is for you. With a performance that will leave you gasping for more.

All that being said, I am severely disappointed in the fact that the final two books won't be released here. I, like many others, don't like the idea of bouncing between platforms to listen to a series. This is especially true when books 1 - 11 are already here. It is likely I won't even get to experience the end either as I will likely be as stubborn as Boxxy and won't listen to them out of principle and spite.

If you haven't started the series on Aduible yet, I would recommend avoiding doing so as you won't reach the conclusion (when it eventually come out) through this platform.

Good, but I wish there was more progression.

The book was good, but it felt like it didn't add anything to the story. After the previous book, the only thing I had on my mind was going to the Dragon Isles and having that badass, epic story read to me by Jeff Hays. And I'm still in the same spot. The ending was great, it actually put into perspective what the next 2 books are gonna be about and maybe a little information on Boxxy's origins.

To be honest Jennifer's hero would be what you find out in the end as they are chaos incarnate. Hoping we get more story and a more clear direction for the next couple books.
