He does not let anyone roll the dice.An urgent council meeting has been convened at the royal capital, and the archbishop of the Supreme God, Sword Maiden, requests that Goblin Slayer and his party escort her there. Rumor has it that packs of wolf-mounted goblin riders prowl the route, and no other adventurer is better suited for such a job than Goblin Slayer himself.Little do they realize there have bene dark whispers at their destination of a fiery stone that has fallen from the heavens upon the holy mount…Whether by Fate or by Chance, this ill omen comes just as the adventurers arrive and ends up leading them to the deepest labyrinth, the darkest abyss: the Dungeon of the Dead.

the narrators/voice actors are amazing

Once again this is my favorite audiobook light novel production because the narration and voice acting is just so good and immersive.

creativity

Goblin Slayer often has really creative ways for its characters to use their abilities or their surroundings. this is the best one yet.

Great Volume

I believe this is where the second season ends with the anime adaption.

I adore the cast. The party continues to deal with new horrors/enemies. Somehow, even if the plot remains the “same” (kill goblins), it’s still a unique experience. You meet new people, catch up with old ones, and help those in need.

The story might be considered but it’s so much more than that. It’s emotional, dark, and human.

Narrators and author continue to do amazing work! Kudos to them as always.

Same Thing All Over Again

This felt like a copy and paste of the last several books. There just isn't anything interesting happening. Goblin slayer slays goblins. No world building, no other plot lines, just goblin slaying. Even the meager character growth seems stunted. I had to listen to this in small chunks to even get through it.

The narrators did a good job as always. I do, however, think I'm going to riot if I have to hear one more goblin grunt or priestess screech.
