About this listen

Rocket legs and fists full of diplomacy. A world prepared for thunderous progress. Cal returns.

The skies above Olympus rumble as a long pilgrimage reaches its apex. With Cal having reached his lighthouse and found his way home, the ancient dungeon wakes to a world made from the remnants of the old. Caltopia! A glorious planet, complete with an uncharted sea.

A grandfather welcomes Cal home at the end of a great fight and the dawn of a new era. The time for Oaths has come. The memory cores are undone. Odin waits with demons abound, as Artorian delves up ancient heroes from the Divine Dungeon era to help him do the rounds.

Artorian is ready for a knockout and to come to Accords.

Back to this narrator

Okay. Narrator feedback.
ONLY the dwarves are supposed to have Scottish accents,.. why does everyone else have a half English accent? We all got used to everyone in the fringe having non-accented voices. Griz and Tikas had soft voices but everything is British. Artorian is no longer a giddy gleeful scheming sounding Grampa. Some other commenter was right? He sounds old and stuffy.
This narrator does actually do laughs and stuff aka chuckling etc.
I’ll probably still listen cuz I’m invested but man… you coulda listened to at least one book. The other narrator had most of Vikas inflections too. While Dale is different Cal was closer (in past books).

Content of the book itself was good. I just wasn’t as enthused to listen with the jarring English accents on everyone and Scottish accents on the wrong people. I really miss the Scottish accents on the dwarves. He does sometimes get Deverash the gnome right with the high pitched flair to it.

Just be prepared for entirely new accents. Decorum fits, but nothing else feels right like we’ve listened to for 10 books plus 5 of the divine dungeon series (I read the 6th on kindle cuz I wasn’t prepared for the narrator changing but there are 6 books here not just 1)

It feels so cursed

Characters from the same region have randomized assorted accents. Wux sounds like an Indian man who learned English from a stereotypical English butler, Adam sounds more like artorian than artorian. Artorians voice is in stark contrast with his personality. Honestly I get not wanting to wait 5 months to release the next book with Travis but at book 11 I’d rather have waited. After spending 140 hours knowing who was talking without needing names said this is so jarring it’s actually hard to listen to. I like the series as a whole since I’m here at book 11 but switching now is a kick to the shin. Its not johns fault either id hate to be a follow up act on a long running series stuck in a spot where im guaranteed to be constantly compared to the status quo because no matter how well i do the changes will be drastic.

Decent voice actor, BAD story

The voice actor is not as bad as people are saying. It is unfortunate that they brought in John Pirhalla so late into the series. As it is a little jarring to hear the different voices for the same characters after so long, but that is not his fault at all. Though my biggest dislike about him is that if a character is chewing with their mouth full in the story he'll act it out. And honestly it's sounds bad, it feels bad, it is bad. It's like if AMSR went wrong you'd have that.

With that said, the story itself is lacking. I didn't manage to get very far into the book before I had enough, only to the end of chapter 5. It felt like nothing was being taken serious, and everything was a joke. While yes I originally fell in love with the series do to its like light-heartedness. but now it's gotten to the point, where it feels like everything is a punchline, pun or line up to a joke.

Too meta.

This is the first book in the series that I left feeling cold on.
The jokes and references were fun and I caught myself laughing with as many as I understood, but the story's narrative seems to take a backseat to the punchline.
Not every book has to follow the typical storytelling structure of rise, fall, and rise again, but from cover to cover this feels like a slapstick montage.
Too many jokes, not enough character development.

Why narator change?

After listening to 10 books, which i fell in love to with Travis narrating, John's narrating is far to different to what Travis was doing. It feels so weird. Its too different. Its not John's fault really, but something tells me that he should at least listened to one book done by travis to get a better feel of how people talked and their quirk. It feels he didn't and it shows.

Travis narration had a perfect impersonation for the characters. Artorian was chipper and all. But John's artorian is far too dull and slow. Too deep as well.

Cal sounds far too childish. Voice sounding too young.

This makes me sad. If it was John from the very beginning, it wouldn't have been an issue. But now i see that all other audio book are with John, and it makes me not want to buy them in audiobook at all anymore.
