Story
For Azoth, survival is precarious. Something you never take for granted. As a guild rat, he's grown up in the slums and learned to judge people quickly - and to take risks. Risks like apprenticing himself to Durzo Blint. But to be accepted, Azoth must turn his back on his old life and embrace a new identity and name. As Kylar Stern, he must learn to navigate the assassins' world of dangerous politics and strange magics - and cultivate a flair for death.

It is a dark time for the world. Humanity is just crawling out from under 300 years of domination by the race of vampires known as the Nobility. The war against the vampires has taken its toll; cities lie in ruin, the countryside is fragmented into small villages and fiefdoms that still struggle against nightly raids by the fallen vampires - and the remnants of their genetically manufactured demons and werewolves.

For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

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.

too much background noise
This story is one of my favorites. I read the paper book about 8 years ago and thought I'd love to listen to the story again, ooo a "dramatized" version, must be cool. I was super annoyed with the music and background noises, I could barely hear what the narrator is saying in some parts. Thank goodness I read the story otherwise I would have been upset to miss some "dramatic" scenes.

This is da wae
Not bad for my first dramatic adaption, there are some voices like Dorian's that I love (even though I hate his character). After getting acquainted with the voices, it's easier to follow who says what. The one thing that I DESPISED was that there were 8 mins+ of ads in between Parts 1 and 2. I will be sure to never read any other series by whoever. Decent read worth the purchase

Great story...but
I read this trilogy as they came out years ago. I am not a writer, but for all its faults I enjoy this trilogy.
The sound effects and background noise are so overwhelming I sent the books back. It was a deal-breaker. Such a distraction.
I hate quilting on books so I purchased them again and continued on. I have listened to other dramatized book series from Audible. They have been ok.
Again, in my opinion, great story, and horrible sound effects.

good but....
I want to first say this is hands down my favorite story and highly recommend the normal version of it. that said the dramatized version has some problems. mainly it's the main narrator, there are parts of the story where a little timing or inflection on his words would go a long way and he lacks that. also there is the fact he seems to almost be intentionally butchering the names and I'm not talking the weird fantasy ones but normal names! then there's the fact that like all dramatizations the music is at times too loud to hear the dialog and at times the sound effects are over done or out of place. over all I recommend this book but just a different version of it.

A previous reviewer made the comment that the traumatization you could hear in the background was nearly overwhelming. And all I can say to that is I totally agree. This was such a depressing beginning that I’m returning it now.

Traumatization was too distracting
The background dramatization was too distracting to enjoy the narrative, and even overwhelmed it at times.
