An Unwelcome Quest

Another good edition to this series with one thing that bothered: Repetition. I get why the author did and it was an interesting idea but I don't think he pulled it off because it got in the way. Otherwise I like the characters and how they interact with each other. Fun stuff for fans of the series.

The third in the series, and I loved it. This was a lot of fun and contained the expected nerd snark the author delivers so effortlessly.

Great end to the trilogy.

On this dry, stony outcropping, there was a castle so Gothic it might as well have been wearing black eyeliner.

The men also agreed that the woods were quite nice and that hiking through them might be rather pleasant if they had a choice, but they did not. Unfortunately, human nature dictated that anything, no matter how pleasant it is, can become hateful if you feel you must do it. Just ask anyone who's ever entered a pie-eating contest.

3rd time listening. Still very enjoyable, although I like books one and two better than this one.

Any book that can make me literally laugh out loud, deserves at least 4 stars. As a computer nerd and fan of role playing games I could identify with situations in this series.

Executive Summary: This series is a lot of fun, and this book might be the best yet. I really hope we'll get a 4th book. Audio book: What more can I say about Luke Daniels? I said he'd be good at reading the phone book, and he obliged me. I bet he'd even do a good job of the Begats. He brings this book to life. It may as well be a radio play. Do yourselves a favor and do this book in audio.Full ReviewI sort of fell into this series by accident last year. It's not going to be winning any awards or anything, but if you want a fun and light series, look no further.I thought that while the second book addressed my complaints about the lack of women from the first book, the plot and the humor were weaker. This book seems the most polished yet. While probably not as funny as the first book, it's definitely the best written. The characters are more developed, the plot is tighter, and in general I was always excited to to start listening again.If you've ever played buggy video games, or written buggy code, I think you'll especially find a lot to like here. I like how some of the supporting characters from [b:Off to Be the Wizard 18616975 Off to Be the Wizard (Magic 2.0 #1) Scott Meyer https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1390179189s/18616975.jpg 24775619] that mostly took a backseat in [b:Spell or High Water 21483760 Spell or High Water (Magic 2.0, #2) Scott Meyer https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1395612093s/21483760.jpg 40223686] were not only more heavily featured, but really had a chance to shine. I especially enjoyed Tyler's running commentary throughout the book.That said, my favorite character continues to be Phillip. Especially when he's talking to Jimmy. And Jimmy of course is as great as ever.If you liked the first two books, definitely give this one a try. And if you haven't given this series a try yet, you really should. It's a lot of fun, and I really hope we'll get more of them.
