About this listen
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.

Story
Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

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.

Story
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.

Thousands of Heroes protect the land, defending against the periodic incursions by gigantic monsters known as World Threats. This was the way it had always been and Clay Shuntwise was perfectly fine with that. Running deliveries for his family’s shop in the sleepy town of Renton, the young teenager barely even thought about Heroes and their role in keeping the world safe. That was, at least, until a World Threat came crashing down on him.

Throughout the Kingdom, Defenders constantly fight against incursions of dungeon monsters rampaging over the border the Kingdom shares with the Wildlands. To keep the danger to their citizens low, they periodically sweep through these untamed areas filled with natural beasts and roaming dungeon monsters, destroying as many Dungeon Cores as they can find. Tempara was practically a newborn when Defenders from the Kingdom snatched her away, only to be forced to watch in horror as tragedy fell upon the rest of her pack.

All that Tacca GloomLily 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.

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.

"I am a shadow of your true inner self."
Everyone has some darkness lurking within them. Some embrace it, some acknowledge and tame it, some suppress it, and for a lucky few it remains dormant until a catalyst awakens it. The journey to seeing Sandra's inner darkness is a bit convoluted, but definitely entertaining. The book builds on the previous volumes, but mostly works to help set the stage for the next volume. In a sense it suffers from Planned Sequel Syndrome, it's okay to good on its own but only shines as a part of the series. Of course, unlike many works that suffer from that condition this one does an excellent job of helping both the ones before and the ones after to shine. As I mentioned before, the way this one ends does an excellent job of setting the stage for the next volume, and really helps it to take of spectacularly. If you want to get the most out of The Crafter's Dominion you need to listen to/read this one first.
Oh, and for those who are wondering, the remainder of the quote from my headline is this: "I am your Shadow."

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.
