Alexander and the Greystone Guild are expanding their territory. Building up the keep, conquering new lands, and recruiting citizens of all races. And when they've prepared enough, they plan on taking the fight to the minions of the Dark One in their own strongholds.

New friends are discovered, and alliances are made. Tragedy befalls one of the group, and the Dark One's identity is finally discovered. A new yet, at the same time, ancient enemy makes itself known, threatening to change the face of Io forever.

This is the third installment in the Greystone Chronicles.

awesome

What an awesome series. I had so much fun reading it. Can't wait for the next book.

must have

You must by this book! You must by this book! You must by this book! Awesome Amazing Astounding!

Anti Climactic

The performance, as always, was superb. With regard to the story, certain confrontations that have been building over the course of several books were resolved in a very anti-climactic fashion. Also, the epilogue appears to rehash a revelation that had in many ways already been revealed previously. Therefore, the reaction of the protagonist in the epilogue feels bit disingenuous if not downright amnestic. Other than that the writing is good, and it’s always refreshing do you hear about antics of fibble and mobs of rabid newb ganking rabbits.

Not as good as previous books.

The single most anti-climactic boss fight in the history of literature.
Lead picks up random over-powered powers. Being able to teleport yourself and many others several times a day just gets silly. Being able to create buildings in seconds is also over-powered. For some reason, no one uses these powers in an offensive way.
Lots of 'negotiations' but really just the lead getting everything he could possibly want in the easiest way possible. The last couple hours of the book is lead teleporting from place to place helping people out with little effort and less risk.

too many speeches

he gave a speech like every chapter it was annoying. Fibble was really interesting this one and I can't wait to see what kind of Build they'll give them

Love this, however...

This is a very pleasing and excellent story to listen to. I love the characters, kingdoms and story line. However, the female characters are extremely flat and one demential. They are extremely annoying. That being said, the rest of the characters and story line make up for the women as, thankfully, they are not main characters. I really recommend this series if you love fantasy, adventuring, feel-good novels. love the dragons and dwarfs so very much! along with the other fantasy creatures.

Gnomez Rule

really interested in seeing where this all goes. although It would be nice to see what happened with the scalable items that should be leveling up with the owner. like the chest piece and now this sword..

like for real. the MC is lvl 60 and the chest item hasn't leveled once.

but fibble is legit. and I am digging all the side characters and how easy their backstory fits into the overall story.

want to be seeing some actual seiging and action.

Fun book

For me it was a slow start or maybe just took awhile to refresh myself to the previous books. It finished pretty good though.

LOVE IT! Refreshing take on the genre

Each book in this series gets better! Excellent balance of world building, action and character development. So well performed and love the themes of friendship, disability without ableism, inclusion and snarky humor. Worth a credit!

Exquisite!

Such an amazing fantasy tale! I love it. The plotline is very well-developed, the world-building is exciting and paced so well, but the characters are what raises this tale above others. Each character is unique and brings something special to the story. The interaction between the main characters is heartfelt and authentic. It truly ranks high on my list. Alexander may seem overpowered at times but he comes by it through study, practice, and persistence. The budding romance with Jules makes the telling that much sweeter. Of course, there are quirks here and there; it can’t all be perfect. Max is a Ranger, when he runs across the young black panther it made me wondered why he didn’t have a pet. The group goes on to encounter the adult female Night Prowler; the Matriarch. Jules converses with it via an empathy skill. Still, the encounter does not result in Max or the other Elf Ranger in the guild, mentioning or acquiring a pet. Druids can also have pets, of which there are at least two in the guild, so I thought the whole situation odd. The large cats the guild officers have as mounts are not used much either, aside from occasionally summoning to feed them. These seem to be overlooked opportunities by such a talented author. Other than minor quibbles, I really enjoy this series. From my perspective, Greystone Chronicles ranks in the top five litRPG series. The writing is extraordinary, the characters heart-warming and delightful, and the narrative performance is flawless. Audible, the remaining books, please!
