Full disclosure: I got this product for free in a giveaway. However, this doesn’t have any bearing on my review.
My metric for deciding whether or not an audiobook is really easy: Did I have fun listening to it? For A Snake’s Life, I did. You can nitpick and criticize details about the writing style, game mechanics, or characters but at the end of the day I would have paid for this product had I not gotten it in a giveaway. It reminds me a lot of The Beginning Before the End and Legend of the Arch Magus in terms of how light novel-y it felt. Overall, totally worth it.
