The Taint of Bhaal...

Unfortunately, like the other books in the series, this story suffers from outdated masc/fem tropes that can't be fully redeemed by the generally well-done storytelling. The main characters are one dimensional and hard to get invested in or to see real growth.

As an intended to be amusing side, there's always one thing that stands out in repetition to me in each of the 3 novels in this series so far. In the first one, it was the author describing how awful everything smelled, in the second, Jaheira's (much potential here wasted) primary action was to scream, and in this last one it was the use of "taint of Bhaal" to what felt like excess.

Wonderous adventures of meat shield man

A wild tale of a muscle-bound hero who stumbles into victory after victory, losing his siblings to assassins and his lover to dragon chow along the way. Who needs strategy when you’re the son of a god battling divine heirs with actual tactics and weapons designed to counter your powers? Fantastic writing—tell me again how tall and muscular our hero is; I’m not done laughing at this failed DnD campaign. Just stick to the game , the story is waaaaaaay better there.

The voice acting, reader’s voice.

I loved all three in the series, the books are just as good as the games!

the reader was great lots of animation in his storytelling.

overall damn good story and fun to listen to definitely worthwhile listen very enjoyable and entertaining
