Story
Milton Frederick never had the chance to live out his life as a professional gamer on Earth, mainly because he was abducted by aliens. Unfortunately, he wasn’t returned home after the typical probing associated with such things to tell an unbelievable story to his friends. Instead, he was summarily killed and his consciousness was inserted into a Station Core, a giant, metal, egg-shaped object that could use technology to create traps, Combat Units, and other defenses to protect not just himself, but those he cared about.

All that Tacca Gloom Lily ever wanted to be since she was very little was a fairy assistant to a Dungeon Core. After her negatively portentous birth, however, she was never fully accepted by her superstitious peers and instructors at the Dungeon Assistant Preparatory School; nevertheless, she persisted in her studies and graduated at the top of her class. Unfortunately for her, the “hands-on” training she was supposed to receive from a Mentor and his Bonded Dungeon Core didn’t go the way she would’ve hoped.

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

Misleading book description

By: Dakota Krout
Publisher's Summary
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.

I love this series!
Fantastic story and narration!
Sandra is back, and things are starting to get crazy! Orcs, Gnomes, Elves, Dwarves, and Dungeons, oh my! and they are all giving the friendly dungeon who just wants to help them (or do lots of crafting) a ton of grief! how will she manage?
Louise does a great job with the narration!
I really enjoyed this one, and cant wait for the next book in the series!

If you hate cliffhangers...
you're going to hate this ending.
Now I have to wait until Brooks releases book 5 to find out what happens. Aaahhhh!!!
This book is so good, and a great continuation of the story. Our favorite supporting cast gets expanded and into more precarious situations. The dungeon fairy is worried more than once if Sandra the dungeon is going to "lose it".
Thank you Brooks and Cooksey for another amazing installment in this awesome series.

Probably should not have eaten that
Sandra is working hard to save the races. She has plans in place that will help each one survive. The problem is that the dungeons around here just got some amazing buffs and are not happy with her. Also, there seems to be an issue with Sandra not feeling like herself.
This has been a very fun series! I have really enjoyed this one and will pick up book 5 as soon as it hits audible.

Kind of left it at a cliffhanger, reminds me of when Cal went crazy in Dungeon Madness. Hopefully the cliffhanger is resolved a little sooner. I'd hate to see a crazy Sandra. I really enjoyed it. Highly recommend for the continuation.

Kelerum? I thought his power was fire and dark?
I remember his saying he lit his forge everyday but here I mentions water instead... this is a problem. It’s mentioned twice. I needs to be fixed.
But great book as always. I’m really worried though. The crafting parts are my favorites and the raving towards the end is saddening and hopefully doesn’t continue for long in the new book.

Strong escalation in this latest instalment
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.
