Architect

A Divine Dungeon Series (Artorian's Archives, Book 16)

By: Dennis Vanderkerken, Dakota Krout

Narrated by: John Pirhalla

The Amanecida Gate is open. Blessed fresh air! Why are there no people?

Artorian's stroll onto Earth is cut short by a dagger in the back. Dealing with an unjust loss, he's torn between mourning what was lost and plotting a deviously calculated revenge. An eye for an eye, a stab for a stab. It's time to roll up those sleeves, whip out the master plan, and get down to crafting the narrative.

Preparations must be made to return all that is Cultivator, to a world neither ready nor adapted for them, with a status quo that not everyone is happy with. The factions of old bristle and rise. Hidden enemies reveal themselves. Odin laughs, and brings a final surprise. Grandpa, the Grand Architect, will accomplish an impossible, single-minded goal.

Thunder will die, and Apollo will kick him out of the sky.

Consistent Excellence

Dakota always puts quality into his work. Each page is lovingly crafted which befits the main character, an old man with two hearts of purest gold. I really can't recommend this book enough. Please give it a go.

Good book

Honestly for me it was a bit slow until Chapter 23 but after that it was amazing. I just listened at 2 times speed til then due to my brain disliking things going slow. Then I listened at 1.2 or 1.5 speed the rest of the way. I love Dakota’s books if you haven’t already try their other books on here as well they are all good.

another knock out

They did it again, another great book to the already fantastic series, artorian, is always a wonderful time , the quotes used to pop culture references were amazing and I laughed all the way through the book

Book of transitioning

This book takes a long time for anything significant to happen, but I did enjoy the sweet moments and the goodies he got. It feels more like a .5 book than a book in of itself but I also understand why this can't be. The training seemed more like torture than anything else, but I also understand that it was required because of his current state. The end seems like a very good setup for the next book though and I enjoyed it. I am really looking forward to what somes next. it should be very interesting. Cleaning up those enemies was also very ... clean. Thanks.

Back to the old world

Performance: John Pirhalla is great as he has been for the past 6 books. I am unsure if he is pronouncing Tatum incorrectly or pronouncing Totum (calling back to the potato joke) correctly, which was my only hangup and would be fixed easily with whispersync.

Story: Artorian finally gets to get out of Cal for a bit. Hijinx ensue. Revenge is served up in a uniquely Artorian fashion. Great new chapter of this story and it feels refreshing to be away from "The Game" and back to where stakes exist.
