another great listen

I loved it. while mc can be pretty dumb and selfish, but this story is awesome.
**spoilers kinda**
I am really looking forward to the next book because this kind of story line is what I like to listen to, but the leash around the mc's neck limiting him to the empire was limiting that branch of the story. I really loved the previous book because it was, at least partly, Eric and maveth killing, camping and cooking in a dungeon.

thanks for the series and I look forward to your other stuff

You should read this series.

Smooth story line with great character development.I'm looking forward to more from this author. i enjoy the narration, although I like the the narrator from the first two books a bit more than the second guy. both provide a solid performance.

Another in a Great Series

A Solder's Life book 4 is a worthy addition to the series. If you are a tabletop or online RPG player, you will love this. The characters are well fleshed out with a cohesive and rich storyline in play. I can't wait for the rest of the books to be published.

Excellent series!

Have greatly enjoyed this series both the story and the narrator. Appreciate that most of the story follows the main character! I am looking forward to the next book.

Trust issues

Love these novels. Gone through all 4 in 3 weeks!! One thing I’m not understanding with the main character is the bipolar trust issues he seems to have. Going from empathy, generosity, and engaging with complete strangers; but then is mistrusting, stingy and unapproachable with people he has known the longest and had decent relationships with. Is there trauma in the past? Is it paranoia from being in a new place and people he is expecting to betray him?
Keep making quality novels like these and I will continue to be a loyal reader.
