About this listen

A time of great darkness is approaching, but will Sandra and her dungeon survive?

After being responsible for destroying multiple Dungeon Cores, the consequences of which she has yet to see but knows will be coming, Sandra and her friends must obtain help from the leadership of the nearby lands. The problem will soon become bigger than she can contain, and only by them all working together will everyone survive the dangers represented by the nearby dungeons.

On top of that, Sandra also has to develop a plan to combat the ever-expanding territories of the local dungeons and protect the people still living in her Area of Influence. It is a difficult and complicated problem to solve, but with the aid of some new friends she begins to get a handle on the situation.

Unknown to Sandra and everyone else, however, someone wronged by the craft-loving Dungeon Core has designs of their own that will throw the wastelands into chaos. Those dangers, coupled with some personal issues of Sandra’s own, could usher in a period of darkness that the world hasn’t seen in centuries...

This Dungeon Core story contains LitRPG/GameLit elements such as statistics and leveling and a heavy crafting emphasis. No profanity and no harems.

what a great take on a dungeon, one who really just wants to bring everyone together! enjoying seeing the struggle of the "natural" dungeon instincts and the overwhelming sense of responsibility to the inhabitants around.

Listener received this title free

This continues to be an enjoyable series with the author managing to give it a fairly unique feel in this sub-genre and at the same time showing a strong focus on progression that is needed as a series heads onwards to it's conclusion, which is particularly dramatic at points in this instalment.

Despite the obvious limitations that the main character has to deal with as a dungeon core, the author ensures that they are an interesting and sympathetic character that continues to engage the listener.

The performance of the narrator again serves to enhance the enjoyment of the listener of this book, particularly with the main character.

Overall, no point starting on this book if you are new to the series, but for those who have enjoyed the previous ones, this is a must-read.
