Book description
I'm on the edge of my seat right now because the doors just swung open on the fourth floor of the dungeon and I hear the rumble of trains and the hiss of unseen threats. The Iron Tangle-yeah that's the name-impossible subway maze that's literally stitched together from every underground line the world knows. Up is down, down is up, close is far, the way the author makes the geography feel like a living puzzle. And I'm talking about a book that's turned into an audiobook, so every creak, every monster's growl is amplified.
Carl and Donut, the guys we've been following, finally get a team. No longer lone wolves; they're a hive, a crew. Their loot isn't just coins and gear, it's also this whisper of hope that the key to all this labyrinthine madness might be tucked inside a book that seems, on the surface, useless. The idea that knowledge-like a forgotten manual-could untangle a system that defies logic is a hook that pulls you deeper.
The difficulty ramps up like the track number climbing higher. The first three floors were a warm-up, a taste of danger. Now, with every platform, with every station that seems less safe than the last, the stakes feel like a weight that can't be shed. And yet the narrator-Matt Dinniman, the artist-writer from Gig Harbor-keeps us anchored with witty observations, a lightness that prevents the story from sinking. The audiobook's narrator has that same energy; the voice shifts with the narrative, matching the rhythm of the tunnels, the breathing of the characters. The sound design feels like a living map, as if we're standing in the iron coils ourselves.
There's a strange comfort in the absurdity of a world built from the world's own subways. It feels like a meta-paradox, a playground of chaos that the author invites us to navigate. Each track line is a promise of more danger, more treasure, more secrets. And I feel the camaraderie, the collective tension of Carl, Donut, and the crew, echoing through the pages. That sense of partnership is what makes the journey feel real, what makes the audio experience a shared adventure.
In the end, the book-and its audio counterpart-doesn't just offer a narrative; it offers a living, breathing environment. Every turn, every track, every line of dialogue feels like a new door. The Iron Tangle is more than a setting; it's a character in its own right, a labyrinth that demands we think, to listen. The soundtrack of the dungeon-trains, whispers, roars-makes us feel that we're in the heart of it. And when the secret of the useless book surfaces, it's a payoff that feels earned. The fourth floor is a high-stakes level of excitement, but with a sense of unity that turns the struggle into a team effort.
So I'm telling you: get on this audiobook, feel the rails beneath you, hear the monsters, taste the danger, and listen as the story pulls you into the very heart of the Iron Tangle. It's a wild ride that never stops, an experience that feels like a real dungeon crawl through audio, and it's absolutely worth every second.
