Audiobook: Unmapped

My first audiobook review! I recently finished Unmapped (The Completionist Chronicles, Book 13) by Dakota Krout. As with the rest of the books in the series it's narrated by Luke Daniels. The story continues the adventures of Joe the Ritualist in the realms of Eternium. Joe is trying to find a path forward in the wake of soul damage and shattered skills. Along the way he commits to helping one of the towers from Vanaheim to obtain a mystic core.

Overall it was a great addition to the series. One issue with LitRPG series (and any long running series) is they tend to slow down after the first few books and become formulaic. The Completionist Chronicles is no exception. With Unmapped the overall story is starting to progress again, but the book itself is still on the slow side.

The writing is what I have come to expect from Krout. Lots of puns and is generally pretty fun. He does a great job of diving into details instead of glossing over elements because its magic. Although the system and magic are starting to get more and more complex. Luke Daniels is a fantastic narrator. He does a great job of making the characters feel alive and distinct.

If you haven't given the series a try and enjoy puns and LitRPGs, then I highly recommend it. I will say the start of the story is a bit rough with the writing and dated. Some readers might not make it past how Joe ends up in Eternium, but the story gets better and the whole Elon Musk part is a small blip. I am excited for the next book in the series and see where the story goes. I give the book 7 out of 10 wheels of cheese.
