The brilliance continues!

After having been enchanted by A Lonely Dungeon, it is awesome to see the repercussions of Erryn's actions from the point of view of a more traditional protagonist.

Cathfach plays with some very interesting premises and, again, makes their characters very wholesome and likeable. There is a lot of technical RPG stuff in this first book of Peter's story, as both him and us are getting to know this world, but I think this is exactly the kind of stuff nerds like me can find some inherent joy in.

Cathfach remains very self-aware and openly alludes to tropes like catgirls and isekai. I myself am quite unaware of some of these tropes, but even for someone like me, it isn't hammered home too much :)

Now that I've listened to my second book by Cathfach, I can also generalize a bit and say that I enjoy what Cathfach does towards the end of the audiobook, usually having chapters that let the reader see the story they've just heard from the point of view of other characters. I think that is brilliant, and one of the reasons why I've told some friends of mine that Cathfach is among the best authors I've ever read.

Since I've missed out on saying anything about the narrator in my last review: Peter Kenny is brilliant and perfect and I cannot believe how lucky we are he is reading this audiobook. It's absolutely incredible. He nails the different voices, and to have a narrator perform well when asked to make baby noises and speak in imaginary languages is a miracle we might not see again elsewhere <3

Cathfach, I hope you are reading this <3 looking forward to the next one already!
