Penny for Your Soul is an economic and political satire with humans, ghouls, and undead willing to do anything to have a win. It is full of personal stories and a few jokes about metaphysics and humanity. The dead don’t wait. But they do work in the factories, decide over policies, and hate to stay buried six feet under.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 24
Fifty thousand gun-toting paladins march behind him, all baptized in angel blood, thirsty to burn unbelievers. Only the janissaries can stand against them. Their living legend, Kevah, once beheaded a magus amid a hail of ice daggers. But ever since his wife disappeared, he spends his days in a haze of hashish and poetry. To save the kingdom, Kevah must conquer his grief and become the legend he once was. But Micah writes his own legend in blood, and his righteous conquest will stop at nothing. When the gods choose sides, a legend will be etched upon the stars.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 543
A teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, Zorian is attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. A driven and quiet young man, he is consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, resenting the Kazinskis for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, Zorian has no time for pointless distractions, much less other people's problems.

English magicians were once the wonder of the known world, with fairy servants at their beck and call; they could command winds, mountains, and woods. But by the early 1800s they have long since lost the ability to perform magic. They can only write long, dull papers about it, while fairy servants are nothing but a fading memory.

Professional heroes kill and loot deadly monsters every day, but Gorm Ingerson's latest quest will be anything but business as usual. The adventuring industry drives the economy of Arth, a world much like our own but with more magic and fewer vowels. Monsters' hoards are claimed, bought by corporate interests, and sold off to plunder funds long before the Heroes' Guild actually kills the beasts. That's a terrible arrangement for the Shadowkin; orcs, goblins, kobolds, and their ilk must apply for to become Noncombatant Paper Carriers to avoid being killed and looted by heroes.

Publisher's Summary
A twisted tale of luck and greed! Greed that makes any god blush. Luck that is worth more than gold. Then again, according to the gods, humans are nothing but their playthings, and what luck gets them is nothing but misery.
Edbert battles to save his bookshop, asking help from the gods, but they have a way of screwing up even the well-thought-out plans. Not only his but the entire kingdom's. It might be better if he skipped tonight's secret ritual entirely, but the goat's head has to work.
Worth of Luck is wry, action-packed, humorous fantasy novel set in Leporidae Lop. Step into an adventure about friendship, injustice, and carrots.

2nd review
This is a light fantasy in a world where a Pantheon of gods will deliver luck if followers produce the right incantation. The problem is there is a limited amount of Luck so when someone gets luck - somebody else loses it.
Here is humor and come-uppance and multiple different characters that are entertaining. So you can read it as a light fantasy and/or reflect on deeper question of why getting ahead has to mean taking it from someone else. Could be read as an allegory for competing interest and nations.
I wrote a longer review but apparently audible did not like it. So here we go again. This book is in the style of a famous English fantasy author that I won't mention because I guess it's not allowed. Hint : T.P.
