Dead Tired II

By: Ravensdagger

Narrated by: Justin Thomas James, Dorrie Sacks, Jeff Hays, Annie Ellicott, Soundbooth Theater, Gary Furlong

In the distant past, a time of magic and swordplay, there lived Harold, the mightiest lich of all, a master of arcane sciences, and a challenger of gods. After reaching the pinnacle of his power and finding it surprisingly bland, Harold waged a cataclysmic war against the gods, aiming to shatter the very system that confined him.

He took a nap, but he is awake once more.

Upon discovering that the new gods have been using some of his phylacteries as batteries to sustain themselves and grow more powerful, Harold has decided to take back what is his. He won't be alone. Accompanied by his faithful butler and maid Alex and a limpet that just won't leave no matter how often he teleports her over the nearest lake, Harold journeys north and east.

The Flaming Steppes await. An untamed land where great mantises roam and where a few fiery sects have made their homes, cultivating and growing in one of the harshest environments in the Divine Kingdom.

They are not prepared for Harold and his companions.

Loved It!!!

A great continuation of what is beginning to be one of my favorite series of all time! The perfect growth of each character development, along with some great new characters! I also once again found myself laughing throughout from either the back and forth banter, situational humor, differing character viewpoints and their inner dialogue, plus so much more!!!

My only critique would be that I wish it was longer and/or there’s a new book in the series released each month. I can’t wait for the next!

The puns keep on rollin’

Justin is having so much fun with these puns I can tell! So the second installment focuses on the limpets development big time, I like the change of direction here. The beauty of this series is that multiple characters are depicted in a way that each could get their own arcs while maintaining a good story. If you want more laughs and references then don’t hesitate and pick up this chapter in the series!

Magical Soap Opera Goodness

I am really enjoying this relatively new genre of fiction. This production company nails the performance and the author weaves a delightfully average fantasy to watch unfold. For me this is the audio equivalent of watching TV, relaxing and entertaining and fully addictive. I can't wait for the next installments.

Great Humor and Some Character Growth

I love the puns and I love that the Limpet can't stand them!
The jokes are fun, the different povs of storytelling are interesting, and the nods to TTRPGS vs cultivation make this a perfect nerdy indulgence.

To die for

It was a grave undertaking, but Ravensdagger has dug up a winner. The plot is a real page-turner. The characters are well-developed and relatable, with a cast that's to die for. The plot is a killer.
