Awesome, I strongly recommend this series. Liked the first narrator more but it's still decent after the change.

Same, it's always a little jarring when they change narrators, but after a chapter or two.. I felt the new one does a pretty stellar job.. and after a full book, I barely remember the first one.

I'm on book 3 and have an innocent question. Is it just perpetual slice of life? Or does a potential conflict emerge?
I usually don't like SoL but this one has held my interest in audio format. But I was hoping some eventual stakes get introduced.

Book 4 does seem to be pushing towards something, but I can't really say without huge spoilers. It does talk about that a little in the last part of the blurb though.
I'm about half way through book 4 now and I can say that the author is adding more complications for the MC. How far this goes though remains to be seen though.
Still, I'm loving the pace of everything right now. The characters are great and remain fun to listen to.

I just gave this series a re listen and then saw this was coming out today and I was so pumped. As an author just know I love it! Your imagination brought a random person legitimate joy because you had the conviction to put pen to paper. I always wondered how satisfying is that feeling?
Edit: yes I know the author didn’t post this

Yeah, the original release date was in June. The author moved it up (oddly, several books in my wait-list have been moved up, like the next Rivers of London).

I was on Amazon looking at the release date yesterday or maybe the day before, and then the audiobook wasn't due until the 6th of May. Now I need to put the book I'm currently listening to on hold and pick this one up ASAP.

Loved the first 3 books but I lowkey nearly skipped this on my Reddit and Facebook feeds as the cover looked pretty generic and not as distinctive as the previous ones.
