Alaria Hartwood vanquishes a legendary kraken, becoming a Tentacle Mage. Her newfound talents and wealth bring hope of a quiet retirement, but fate has far different plans.

While Alaria wants to turn her retirement dream location into a place where she can focus on enchanting, potion making, and spell crafting, it won't be easy.

Everything I hoped

This one got all the things I was hoping for, it had some awesome action scenes, slice of life slow down moments with great character development and of course it a
Pretty spicy

A little cheesy, very sexy

I fun ProgFantasy for WLW and tentacle enjoyers. It can be a little camp when attempting to be serious, but it’s an enjoyable read. Can’t wait for the next entry.

Some fantasy adventure and lesbian tentacle harem

This is easily the second best lesbian harem tentacle fantasy audiobook I have listen to. Which does not mean much as I only listen to two but I had an entertaining enough time.

If you looking for an epic fantasy with occasional lesbian erotica, Demon Princess Magical Chaos would be a better choice. But if you looking for a lesbian harem erotica with occasional fantasy action, then this be up your alley.

Honestly to sum up the story, is an adventurer settling to a small town while she discover her sexuality and start having fun with it while occasionally having to deal with magical trap in the house and helping out clear the monster harrasing the road nearby. Despite how the opening went with a battle with a demon Kraken, the rest is more subdue rather than an epic fantasy like some book. Which by no mean is a bad thing, and there many still more chance for the sequel to be more exciting in both the fantasy and in the erotica.

That being said, is not like is amazing, and with so many other fantasy story, one might wonder why I would give it a 4/5 instead of a 3/5 if the story was just alright. The reason is the fantastic narrators who do their job at making the erotic scene exciting instead of laughably bad. Plus appreciate the multiple voice narrators instead of leaving it to one entire person.

So yeah the audio production help allevate an alright fantasy erotica that can have the potential to be more exciting.

What sort of a power is tentacles?

After defeating the greatest monster the kingdom has ever seen, on her own, our MC retires so that she can have quite and peace for the rest of her life.
Of course heroes and monster killers don't get that wish.
Despite going to a quite town and starting her own harem, (all female), the jobs to protect her family and community just keep coming.
Good writing and narration to a fine story of great characters, action and some spice.
I'm giving this book 7.5 out of 5 stars.

3 narrators, 1 heck of a story

The narration here took the story to the next level. It really did bring out the characters and the environment in a special way. I, uh, yes, there are steamy scenes. They were good.

What do you expect with tentacle spice

This is a lesbian harem with tentacles just in case you didn't know. A great slice of life semi retired adventure story. It's a discovering romance and doesn't shy away from unorthodox fetish all realized with the power of tentacles from gang bang to bandage even you guessed it tentacle. Fun read great action spice and slice of life nice.

Fun time

"Kraken Mage" is a fast-paced fantasy where Alaria Hartwood’s plans for a peaceful retirement are constantly disrupted by new dangers. With the help of her eager apprentice, Mia, Alaria battles orcs and demons while trying to start her new life. The story is filled with action and magic, making it an exciting read from start to finish.

Surprised and pleasantly so

I took the chance to try a new series and I am glad I did. The story paced well and entices you into wanting more. The characters are great and well rounded. I can’t wait for the next installment.

Friends don't let friends read this book

The main character is simultaneously one of the most powerful and well-traveled adventurer-mages in the entire setting but has the emotional maturity of pre-pubescent teenager who has never talked to a boy or girl in her life. Interactions between the main character and other characters come off as stiff and awkward.

The scenes themselves are often poorly thought out. At one point the author is describing an injury as being urgent with tons of bleeding with so much blood that it's pooling on the floor. Did someone cut an artery? No, someone got a splinter. At another point the main character is dressing down a group of poorly outfitted soldiers she just met in an attempt to Sherlock Holmes them into submission. The response to which is along the lines of "you noticed Pete's shoes were untied! You're the smartest person I've ever met and I'm going to do everything you tell me to from now on." The only thing that could have made it more unbelievable would have been an "and then everyone clapped" line.

There's nothing redeeming in this book except for the narration. Click the back button on your browser and find something better.
