Solid fun. I like this one.

The action to get from Earth to a fantasy world pretty much happens immediately, so it’s a fast start.

Main character becomes a hobbit bard with a lute and some sort of coward’s mark, then he’s tossed into a maze to survive.

Amazingly, he’s still alive half an hour into the story, and he starts meeting people instead of monsters. That’s when the conniving gets started. Also, he has access to playing music from Earth. He even gives credit.

Fun stuff. The main character is likable and smart. The adversaries are likable in their own ways. The LitRPG game system is fun. If there’s any cursing, I messed it. In other words, hours of light-hearted fantasy fun from a novice tricky bard.

Soundbooth does a great job. All three voice actors are wonderful. (Though the ending part of Jeff Hays’ initial scene had a curious extreme echo effect for ten seconds that didn’t make sense.)

Highly recommended.
