Not even 5 min into this book and I was sucked into it! fantastic story, awesome narration, leaves you wanting more! Highly recommend giving it a go!

Let out the dogs of war

I don't often write reviews so I'll try and give a good summary without spoilers.

To start with, I really do recommend this book. Military humor, action and a lot of carnage can be said is in this book and the dealings of PTSD among other things.
I found myself rooting for Jebediah and his pooch Bose as they struggled to understand the new reality they now have to deal with and the consequences that follow. Through thick and thin, they go through one conflict after another with their gremlin manager.

I can't wait to see more of it, and I am already sad that this book is over. Hope that the next one comes out soon on Audio.
Cheers!

Not your typical LitRPG

this is a book that I personally have waited most of the year for, AND IT WAS WORTH EVERY SECOND. This book has elements of DCC but shines im its own way. im very excited to hear more about this universe, and just what the Crucible of War truly is!
