Publisher's summary

The citizens of Azurvale are starting to feel the pressure. War with the Empire to the south is imminent, and there's talk of the city's adventurers being drafted into the campaign. Though this conflict seems inevitable and promises to be horrific, the common folk can do little but act like there's nothing wrong. Rather than lose sleep over something so wildly out of their control, they instead worry about tiny, personal, inconsequential issues. Things like, "Will the butcher have fresh steak today?" and, "Should I get those new boots now, or wait and see if they go on sale?"

However, though they try to maintain some modicum of normalcy, the people of Azurvale have yet to find out that their capital is already under threat. Not by some warmongering nation, but by a certain individual that has come to them seeking asylum, knowledge, profit, and power through any means necessary. As this newcomer burrows into the city's underbelly like a voracious tick, it cares not for the people it hurts along the way. Indeed, any soul unfortunate enough to cross paths with Boxxy T. Morningwood seems doomed to have their life ruined in one way or another. Often through no fault of their own.

Whether it's an ancient being, a skilled assassin, a godlike archer, or a fresh-faced recruit, none shall be spared from the whims of chaos.

I cried

Fantastic story and narration!!!

Boxy is back, and up to new tricks! Having made it into the elven lands, boxy and crew need to lay low, find trainers, and level up. Can they suppress their greed, bloodlust, and outrageous quirks enough to meet their goals?

If you have enjoyed this series so far then you will definitely love this book as well!!!

I absolutely loved the song Boxy composed!
(it was so beautiful it made me cry)

I can't wait for the next book to come out!!!!

A great, if flawed, entry.

This being my first written review for the series, allow me to say this. It is every bit as entertaining and powerful an entry as the last three. However it feels as though some things have been pressed aside or overlooked here or there to focus on the titular character of this book, Keira Morgana.

Firstly, as a whole the story continues to remain a fun romp however entering the fourth book it feels as though some characters are no longer receiving attention like one might wholly expect. Boxxy himself fades into the background for a good majority, though that is to be expected to an extent. New characters are introduced, though not all are given quite the limelight you'd seen given in past books. And, worst of all to me at least, one miss Fizzlesprocket is relegated to a cameo and acknowledgement here or there. We get no inclination of her growth between the last book and this one, and whilst she does appear it is hardly noteworthy outside of being a way to acknowledge she exists still and is still working under our favored chest. A lot of this, I would say, is on the book focusing its perspective from the title character's point of view rather than the bunch we've come to know and... 'tolerate more than we thought we would'. It works, and it is understandable, but missing out on even simple character information so we know where they all stand is something of a missed chance here. It doesn't harm the narrative overall, but it's a nice point to have... and the same tends to occur with Boxxy as well, as the book seems to move away from general updates after major events for characters. This book is also the first where the greater powers that be are... conspicuously silent despite what happens throughout. They continue to be referenced, but that too feels as though it has been pulled back on.

As for the performances? Jeff Hays continues to be an excellent narrator and voice for the characters we all know. The newcomer to the series, Annie Ellicott, likewise is a strong addition though at least for me it sounded as though the mixing was a little off at first near the start. It smoothed out as things went on, but I couldn't shake the feeling the volumes were a little off between Hays and his narration and her own spoken parts. The worst part I will say, though, and the reason I scored it lowest is the additional effects mixed in. They aren't always bad, but nearing the end of the book the various additional sounds played alongside the narration end up sometimes overpowering the deliveries and becomes distracting more than they are immersive. It isn't painful, but they could definitely be toned down some.

Excellent!

All four stories in this series are great fun. However using soundbooth theater really pushed the performance to the greatest height yet. I have no doubt if you liked the first three books you will like this one also. I can't wait for the continuation of the story in the next book.

It's better with sounds

I love the voice acting for Boxxy. The screams during the large conflict were a bit much. The funny parts are funnier, the gruesome parts are gruesomer. A wonderfully grim story of a monster and his minions making a place for itself and a place to stash his shiny treasures. Top marks.

A Beautiful new direction

This one is very different than the previous books. It feels like our morbid monster troupe have grown into more divinely heartfelt beings. The beautiful song that Annie sang was also proof that our MC wasn’t just pretending to feel the interpersonal emotional connection, but that true bonds were being made.
The previous books defined a lot of what it meant to be a monster. This one bridges the monster to humanity- both the horrors and the beauty. I’m not used to finding such sentiment in this setting, but that’s likely why it stands out do gloriously.
I fell in love with our red-haired ...addition to the cast, felt the pains that we’re supposed to be nothing more than imitation.

Also..

Catgirls!

twinkle twinkle shiny star

An enjoyable story and addition to the series. The song at the end really seals it. The voice actress playing the dryads was a great addition.

I've loved the story so far.

I've loved the story so far, everything made sense. To the succubus and the multiple eatings that broke the others mind. It is self evident from the title what this series is about, after all. But in this one it seems contrived to make a political statement. "it's these religious as hats that hurt innocent gays." that's when I decided I'm just fine ending the series on the last book and returning this one. When I read, I'm wanting to escape, not be part of some movement.

Ears are still ringing

I listen to audio books while I'm walking using headphones. Why is this an important fact? This audio book performance SUCKED because of various hours of background noise constantly straining my ears. Two hours of swords clashing and screaming in the background piped straight into my ears! This is annoying, distracting, frustrating, and unnecessary.
I liked the various, minor, short noises and sfx, I enjoyed the alternate voices, but absolutely HATED the background noises.

Storyline was a let down compared to the previous books. To much side filler that wasn't related or that interesting.

Very Shiny & tasty, INCREDIBLE

Great addition to the collection, possibly my favorite, Boxy is the ultimate anti-hero, no longer a simple box, he has a plan, big plans. Still homicidal, still surrounded by demons who do the awful things that demons do. Soundbooth’s production is incredible, they truly set the bar! Annie Ellicott is tasty!

The Sound Booth Theater Performance is Amazing

The book is hilarious, but the performance of it is what makes this a masterpiece.
