Very good, it's a joy to revisit the world of dark souls after spending so much time in Elden Ring

fascinating details from the original Japanese text gives so much insight into the workings of dark souls as a world, a complete comprehensive culmination of explanation and theories that do wonders for the mind of the inquisitive chosen undead. answers questions one has after finishing the game.

credit to Lowkey who's knowledge on dark souls is profound and to the point leaving no leaf unturned.

credit to Vaati Michael Samuels Vidya for his great narration and soothing voice, when telling dark souls lore there is no one better.

thank you both for this incredible body of work, will be relistening over and over again untill it is time to usher in a new age!

Excellent Throughout

I will say that as a fan of Vaatividya, I had high expectations for this book. Initially, I was disappointed. Vaati seemed off his usual pace with odd pauses and a stuttering flow, but this soon passed

Vaati finds his pace and brings the world of Dark Souls to life with his distinct narrative style.

There is a lot to absorb in this text, a lot! Some of it gets way deeper than I had expected but I enjoyed hearing out the lore and the theories. Of course, this has inspired another play through and I look forward to taking on the game in a more enlightened state.

Enjoy!!

Awesome testament to a fantastic game.

An excellent deep dive into the Lore of Dark Souls

A genuinely in depth academic analysis of one of the most influential games of all time by Lokey, combined with the calm, soothing voice of Vaatividya, makes this a must listen for any fan of Dark Souls or for those who are curious of the deeper lore. I really hope we get more books like this for other Fromsoft titles one day!

the fact it was read out by Vaati is just pure amazing. I've losten to him talk about this stuff for hours already so this was just a bonus

love it.

I love reading about Soulsborne lore but this audiobook is not a good medium. Everything felt rushed and I struggled to keep track of what was being said. I think reading the book would’ve been much better
