There's some "official" art of a Mantaur here I believe.
Just got through Chapters 50-55 in This Inevitable Ruin. Slight Mantaur spoilers below.
Them getting their claws stuck in ceiling and walls when they started attacking was hilarious.

Laughed out loud at that one. The back and forth between cards, Carl, and Donut were the absolute best part of that book.
Agree 100%. The moment they get to the trailer at the end of Phase 2 until the end was such a great listen.
Just finished The Eye of the Bedlam Bride. Really enjoyed it overall but disappointed some of the "characters" we won't get to see again. So many great moments from Chapter 52 onward.

Ellie is far and away my favorite character in the series
Hadn't heard that one yet, but I can see it.
Side note on Team Meadow Lark, I have so many theories on Agatha, it better come to a head at some point.
Just met Lazarus-A-Bang-Bang and it's about as awesome as I expected when I realized what they were going to do.
Long Shot - WTB 1 Ticket Sec 410 Row 33/34 - Clemson
Posted by kballa6 on 9/3/26 at 10:21 am
I know this is a long shot, but I am looking for one ticket in Section 410 Row 33 or 34. My season tickets are in this area and looking for one extra for Saturday. I saw some on Seat Geek together so I'm hoping the season ticket holder is a poster here.
Text me @ 985-Nine Six Nine-3788
TIA

Everyone listens differently but after listening to over 150hrs I've dialed in my method. My time listening is always during one of two activities:
1. Driving (to work, vacations, trips to Baton Rouge)
2. Running (~an hour a day)

Some of that may be true, but it was still 8 years between the release of A Dance With Dragons and the final season of GOT. He was delaying and lollygagging long before people witnessed his ending.
I think he started and saw an easier path to completion (the show) and chose to put his story in their (Benioff and Weiss) hands and do other things (Fire and Blood).
I think the vision of the ending was the same but the path been more detailed.

I've fought this notion for some time but now believe it to be true.
I really was worried at first because of how the floor started. It has quickly ramped up for sure.
Just got to the part in the Bedlam Bride where they are testing out fighting mechanics with their cards. My word that chapter was hilarious.
Samantha meeting Jesus
Everything about Shi Maria
Raul and his insecurities vs Geraldo
A donkey snake
Asojano
I was belly laughing for 20 minutes.

I feel like the slight echo effect was present before book 6. Maybe they made it more pronounced
If it was there I never noticed it. Not sure why it's so prevalent in Book 6.

It has started off great! It does however feel like they really leaned into the audiobook here. They have sound effects for everything (ping spell) and the chat window is just a chamber. I don't understand the need for the change in chat window, we already had the beeps like we were playing Metal Gear Solid.

Another thing I don't buy. Only 30 of these jobs in the world with tens of thousands of industry people that would give anything to hold the title.
I think the point is that it isn't a desirable job to the ones that would really make an immediate impact.
Ok, found the first thing I don't like about the audiobooks.
Why did we wait until Book 6 to have an echo chamber for the chats?

Finished The Butcher's Masquerade over the weekend. Really enjoyed the last third of the book and the buildup to the party.
One thing I really commend Matt on is his balance of time with characters. It would be so easy to put certain characters together and just let it cook but he does a great job of giving them their pathway and weaving it all together.
Already started The Eye of the Bedlam Bride and it's hard to stop listening.

I'm now over half way through The Butcher’s Masquerade and I would be really disappointed if I didn't get Donut signing loudly at some point.
I also have decided that Samantha is my favorite character not named Carl or Donut.
If the TV show does not last long enough to give us Samantha in the Hunting Grounds rolling around I will forever be incomplete.

So I am about 1/3 of the way through The Butcher's Masquerade and wanted to share a few thoughts.
1. This feels more like Books 1 and 2 than the others. Seems more precise in its story telling, if that makes sense. The shorter chapters may be driving that feeling as well as the focus on Carl and Donut not everyone else.
2. Never thought I'd be entertained by dinosaurs and their activities as much as I was. :lol:
3. I want more Samantha

No.
My boys have been re-watching all of the Spider Man movies over the last week and it's not even the best Tom Holland Spider Man movie. I still think that's Homecoming.
I am more upset that we have had four Spider Man movies that cover a timespan of high school + 4 more years and yet we still have not been introduced to the Norman Osborn, Harry Osborn, Otto Octavius, or Gwen Stacy.
On top of that we spent so much time connecting the tissues of Peter, Tony Stark, Happy Hogan, etc but completely ignored Wilson Fisk and only had a cameo from Murdock.
I may have convinced myself that I'm more frustrated with these films than I am satisfied by them.

If Brandon Walker could be a little less Brandon Walker 50% of the time, I would have enjoyed Unnecessary Roughness more.
I'm only about 5 chapters into Book 5 and feel like I will go back to Book 4 at some point and listen again.
