About this listen
Looking for a place to die? Try the Castle of 1,000 Doors!
King Crow isn’t having a very good day. The Empire’s most famous athlete suddenly finds himself convicted of treason and sentenced to the Hunt, an annual event where the city’s most undesirable prisoners are sent into a dungeon filled with treasure, magic, and… bloodthirsty monsters.
Crow didn’t commit the crime, so why is he in the dungeon? Who set him up? And why—for the love of god—is his only weapon a fast-talking, sapient, electromagnetically charged potato named Spud?
Join King Crow and Spud in the first book of a new progression fantasy series as they attempt to survive the dungeon of Toroth-Gol.

Story itself is promising. Serious DCC vibes - dude is being watched by the world as he goes through a dungeon. He goes on talk shows, etc. But this version misses the humour, horror and quick pacing of the original.
Everything starts well. Prologue was amazing and had me thoroughly intrigued. I was rooting for the dude! But then... it switches POV in chapter one... and never switches back again.
There were a lot of weird writing choices like that in this book. Another one - why name your main chapter King? Like, what a way to confuse the reader. Is King Crowe actually royalty? Oh, he's a noble even? Way to make things needlessly confusing.
For me I guess I just couldn't really get into this. Writing was okay, story was okay. But for me it was all just quite not what I expected. Not something that I'll continue from here.
Decent but not great
