Jonathan Smidt’s first installment starts off in an unexpected way for our protagonist but quickly sets the framework for the story. You won’t have to wait long for some witty comments and some action which is always a plus. The cast of voice actors also do a great job portraying their roles and it was nice to hear a diverse yet familiar set of voices (Annie Ellicott & Jeff Hays) .

The general theme here is that we get to witness a dungeon wrestle with its conscience while also observing humans place their’s aside, putting a spin on the usual trope we see these days.

I was happy to get a chance to binge this first book and my review is all thumbs up, including the bony ones.

Can’t wait for more skeletal fight club!

For transparency I was gifted this audiobook by the author however my review of the story wasn’t impacted by this.
