Sensational Book!

I’ve loved everything that Locke has put out and I love this. Awesome slice of life story that you can chill to. The narration is spot on and a pleasure to listen to.

Business adventures

At my request I received a copy of this audiobook in order to give a fair and unbiased review.

Genre: Gamelit, system breaking, profit focused, fantasy business owner
Explicit/adult material: None.

Summary:
Greg has lost it all and is starting again. Heading out to the new islands created by the system.
But others have the same idea, and even with great innovations, rebuilding his business is going to be quite the fight.

Narrators
Voice diversity: Each character had distinct voices and it was easy to follow.
Pacing and intonation: Well done. The storytelling is immersive and alive.
Overall: 4.5 / 5 stars.

The book’s strengths.
- I love books where the MC keeps trying to break the system
- I love trading and wealth building in stories
- The premise of an expanding world with a dungeon focused gold rush is great
- I really enjoy that the storyteller is the main character. It is fun, collegial and breaks the fourth wall in a way that works.
- Great narration

The book’s weaknesses.
- The pacing. I feel like each of the failed attempts of getting rich could (and should) have been their own book.
- There are a lot of gotchas. Everything feels too easy. We did it! But not really. We did it! but not really!

Overall: 3.5/5 stars

Great GameLit Story

I found the 2nd book in "The Ballad of Shady Greg" series entertaining. This story captured my imagination from the opening until the end, and I listened to the whole audiobook in one sitting. Shady Greg and his companions were fun characters. There was action, adventure, and humor within the pages of this story. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Christopher Harbour's narration was great and enhanced the entertainment of the tale. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily posted this review.

bad

poorly written. It was an insult to my intelligence. I'm very disappointed in myself for buying this book after so many hints and red flags from first's flaws.

Fantastic Clean Gamelit RPG Read

Shady Greg really cracked me up. This has some action and adventure but is not a dungeon crawl, it's more of a shady businessman RPG trying to make coin off of the actual adventurers. I didn't read the first book and it wasn't necessary because the author did a great job of filling in any gaps that were presented. I previewed this for my teens that are really huge into D&D and will be letting them listen as it's right up their alley.

Parents- PG - suitable for 12 and up - the MC is a "Shady" guy so there's underhanded deals and "backstabbing"
Language- don't remember any bad language, no f-bombs
Violence- normal to genre, nothing too graphic
Sexual Content- None

Narrator- did a great job with the differentiations and was fun to listen to. I listened at 1.25x speed.

Another well written & enjoyable read/listen

An amazing series w/ great characters and story!

Wolfe Locke and Mike Caliban continue an amazing series and it just gets better and better! Shady Greg once again gains it all, only, well, if you read the first one you know what will follow. The characters continue to develop, new interesting and devious characters are introduced, and old friends make their appearances. This story is absolutely amazing and I cannot wait for book 3 in the series! Audio Version: Christopher Harbour continues to do an amazing job with every character and the overall narration.
