This gave a ton of back story on the Blackgard Chronicles!!

Having completed this next installment, I can confirm the audio drama collection remains very similar. This book includes quite a bit of backstory on Richard Maxwell, which offers valuable insight on why he is the way he is - an important inclusion.

The writing continues to be simple but that can be expected.
