Flying high with adventure

I got a free code for an honest review.

Yeas it’s a real 5 star - let’s give my reasons.
First it a group of narrators, who here doesn’t wince even with the best narrators when they’re male and they try to woman as voices.. come on it’s not just me. So this is a delighted, as it is not one, not two but a group of narrators.
Second you’d think oh it’s just a dungeon core story.. well yes, but it’s a great one and the being it the clouds does have a significant part towards the end of the story.
And there’s more… it’s a book in itself, while also with opening for the next in line. There is action, great links to our world. Sass. Groans and cheers a plenty.
Finally - I actually bought the kindle version of the book.. why you ask as I NEED this author to keep writing!

Another Dungeon Core book.

Another take on the Dungeon core as the protagonist.

I was going to rate this lower when I first started listening to it. At the start I felt the character interactions where very cringey and not fluid, But that improved through the book and got better as it went on, Author still needs to work on that a bit, and should have gone back through and redone some of the interactions once he'd found his flow.

There was subtle and loud Pop culture references throughout the book for some added humour and through back.

Soundbooth Audio delivered another stellar performance. The audio production and voice effects are as always on point in terms of uniqueness, and being able to tell characters apart, A couple of the voices weren't to my tastes but that is a personal preference.

Overall a decent listen. It'll be interesting to see where this series goes and hopefully the Author improves in interactions and making the humour a bit more spontaneous

Solid first bopk

Really interesting book, dungeon core idea is a new one for me, so very refreshing change to the classic LitRPG style. Great characters, dialogue is sharp. Audio production is what makes this for me - joy to listen to.

Good start and cool setting

I went into the audiobook without any expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The protagonist here isn’t a Dungeon Lord, but rather the dungeon itself – which provides a refreshing change in the genre. The world-building is very well done, and although the character interactions weren’t optimally written at the beginning, both the story and the characters developed nicely. Thanks to the “small” Isekai elements, there were also a few references from our world. By the end of the book, I didn’t want to put it down and thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is also due to Justin Thomas James (JTJ) and the rest of the Soundbooth Theater cast, who did a fantastic job. You can simply feel the passion with which the narration was carried out. Additionally, you witness JTJ’s abilities improving throughout the story. Overall, the first book provides an excellent preview of the epic tale that awaits us. Well-deserved 4 stars.

A good addition in the dungeon core genre

I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised by this one. In most cases I'm not a dungeon core guy but this book was very pleasant listen. Amazing performances by the narrators as always with soundbooth theater

Dreams can float!

Nice new perspective for a dungeon core story. Very enjoyable. Great performances from the SBT crew.

It's a dungeon in the clouds.

Overall. It was an enjoyable listen. The story was average but good to listen to with predictible but enjoyable ramp in the stakes with a fun cast of characters.

The issues arrive as a fan of the other dungeon core books, this seemed a little lackluster. With powerful entities in the cosmos being made from literal jokes. But the ideas are solid and I look forward to seeing where this goes in future books!

SBT are astounding I didn't realise Jeff Hayes was Carl until the end credits.. And JTJs work as vex was a delight to listen to added so much humour with the VFX and the tone used for him.

Refreshingly Different

What to say? This book hits different, it's like litrpg mashed with old Dungeon Keeper/Overlord games from the late nineties and early 2000s.

Having your protagonist be a dungeon trying to TPK adventures is a pleasant twist. I wasn't sure how the author would be able to expand on the book as it seemed limiting but the systems as described seem pretty deep. I look forward to book 2 and continuing the overarching narrative/threat.

Soundbooth Theatre did a wonderful job on production as well and the varied cast was welcome.
