Summary
An Epic Fantasy LitRPG Adventure
Resources? Zilch. Shelter? Ha. Monsters? Hungry, and closing in.
Joe the Ritualist fled Alfheim with the remnants of the Dwarven Oligarchy at his side. Though the hairy warriors number in the tens of thousands, they stand at the brink of extinction; and the new world they landed on isn’t pulling any punches. Jotunheim is a winter wonderland featuring a vast array of monsters: the least of which are hulking lizard-ape Hoardlings, and carnivorous penguins standing a dozen feet tall.
The world is massive, deadly, and empty: But all Joe sees is free real estate. Thanks to Specializing in magics that allow him to rapidly create buildings, the Ritualist starts carving out a defensible area for his allies. Dense walls, workshops that churn out weapons and armor, even magical edifices that rain death upon the swarming creatures. Being so new to the world, they mistakenly believe that expanding quickly equals safety.
But on the world of giants, ramping up production just means ringing a bigger dinner bell.

Brilliant story, brilliant narrator
This is absolutely one of my favourite LitRPG stories. Keep 'em coming! I listen to them all 3-4 times.

Hood book but pretty slow
The voice actor is amazing but the story feels like it would be shorter and I think that it and the 10:th book would be in the same book

Fairly standard
Not as much character interactions here. The dwarves are all over the place. Other than Jackson occasionally Joe never speaks to humans. I don't think Aten or his mother have any relevance anymore as they aren't even mentioned.
Most of this book is Joe talking to himself. Coming up with rituals and then solving ritual-based problems.
The scenario of the world seems flawed too. It's based off a tower defence game but considering world 1 was a 2 faction war this scenario felt very gamified and fake. I think Krout wrote himself into a corner with the ritu-architect class. A character who specialises in construction has to be static and far from the front lines.
It was easy listening and the narrator did great but, yet again, I'm unsure whether this series has anything to make it worth continuing with.

Brilliant Twists Amid Frost: Book 9's Icy Defense
In Jotunheim's chill, where frost winds do blow,
Joe's brilliance and daring, a tale to bestow.
With allies by his side, a divide yet to come,
In Book 9's icy world, where battles will be won.
As they brace for challenges, courage in their defense,
Giant leaps await them, a puzzling suspense.
In audiobook's embrace, the narrator's voice sublime,
"The Completionist Chronicles," a brilliant, wintery rhyme.

I love the story, but the narration takes the cake
I listened to the series so far and grew to love the story. It is worth the listen and i am waiting for the next book in the series.

Cannot wait for next one.
I absolutely love this author. His books are such fun to listen to. Love the characters and settings. They will not win noble prizes for literature but i don’t care.

Slightly better than the previous two books
This book had a few things that made it more enjoyable than the previous two books which I didn't enjoy that much. Firstly the main legion dwarves were both dialled down in their annoying jock/ bro dialog and were not interacted with as much as the previous books. This made me happy as this was one of the most annoying things about the recent series. Secondly it has some town build and tower defence aspects. I do like both. Though, it was at a insane pace like a speed run. No time to saviour either.
This isn't a return to the heights of the first few books where Joe was actually trying to complete everything, find hidden classes and trainers, etc. I think he needs his guild to make an appearance soon because Joe and the series is missing capable team mates who bring different skills and expertise to the table. Havoc is great (the only dwarf I like, Cleave is pretty close) doesn't have much book time which was a real shame.

great fun
like always, I enjoyed the ride, but I got to be honest, Dakota's books are starting to seem a little superficial and forgettable...
it's all show and little tell these days which is a shame

Sidequest
I am a fan of the series, however this story feels like it was stretched only to fill one extra book. The whole story could be compressed to a third of his length and be much more interesting. The whole "dwarfs dont trus me suddenly" after all he did and was doing makes no sense to me.
I hope it doesn't end up to be another series whit to many books released only because it is popular. (like Astorians chronicles). For me it starts to feel like it is more about dwarfs than about main character.
