About this listen
Audie Award, Fantasy, 2016
As the smallest dragon in the Heartstriker clan, Julius survives by a simple code: keep quiet, don't cause trouble, and stay out of the way of bigger dragons. But this meek behavior doesn't fly in a family of ambitious magical predators, and his mother, Bethesda the Heartstriker, has finally reached the end of her patience. Now, sealed in human form and banished to the DFZ - a vertical metropolis built on the ruins of Old Detroit - Julius has one month to prove he can be a ruthless dragon or kiss his true shape goodbye forever. But in a city of modern mages and vengeful spirits where dragons are considered monsters to be exterminated, he's going to need some serious help to survive this test. He only hopes humans are more trustworthy than dragons....

There is no way to write a blurb for this final book without spoiling all of the others. Suffice it to say, mysteries resolve, dragons war, pigeons abound, and Julius must risk himself in ways he never dreamed possible as Bob's grand plan finally comes to fruition.

Story4 out of 5 stars 4
In the world’s most magical metropolis where spirits run noodle shops and cash-strapped dragons stage photo-ops for tourists, people still think fairies are nothing but stories, and that’s exactly how the fairies like it. It’s a lot easier to feast on humanity’s dreams when no one believes you exist. But while this arrangement works splendidly for most fair folk, Lola isn’t one of the lucky ones.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 180
The DFZ, the metropolis formerly known as Detroit, is the world’s most magical city with a population of nine million and zero public safety laws. That’s a lot of mages, cybernetically enhanced chrome heads, and mythical beasties who die, get into debt, and otherwise fail to pay their rent. When they can’t pay their bills, their stuff gets sold to the highest bidder. That’s when they call me. I’m a Cleaner: a freelance mage employed by the DFZ to sort through the mountains of magical junk people leave behind. It’s not a pretty job, or a safe one....

Story5 out of 5 stars 8
It’s not easy serving Chernobog, the God of Destruction, Darkness and Death…especially during the holidays; and especially when you’re out of eggnog and one of your pesky, freeloading mythic creatures has eaten your last cookie. Roman would like nothing more than to be left alone, but when a wounded boy stumbles into his yard and begs for sanctuary, Roman takes him in. Now elite mercenaries are camped out on his property, combat mages are dousing the house with fire, and strange priests are unleashing arcane magic.

Story5 out of 5 stars 223
Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

can't wait to get lost in the next book
man I cannot get enough of this author I don't know how to put it she creates the most interesting multi-layered worlds I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing on the page her characters are lovable and familiar and the emotions they feel make you empathize. the way she describes specific emotions ideas Concepts characters locations it's all so vivid and interesting that you get lost in her work... personally I can't wait to get lost in the next book...
the performance was good I occasionally find some voices slightly grading but I don't think there's a way you can get around that however I was never confused by who was speaking and I thought it was enjoyable

Worth a listen!
Entertaining story, if a bit basic. The protagonist is fun to root for, and it's easy to get wrapped up in the adventure.

Meh
Reads like an over the top fan fiction. Not a bad story but too gushing particularly during the "relationship scenes". Some mispronunciations threw me out of the story.

Nice dragons finish last
When I got this book I wanted to see the main character to as a dragon but no he is a pathetic loser that cowers to the other people. Wast of my time.

Mediocre
None of the characters have a personality. They all feel like they're following a script without any sort of wit or thoughts of their own.
The plot is complex enough to keep the reader curious, but too shallow to amaze or surprise.
