TINY GODS : Book 6 Nate Temple Series) : SHAYNE SILVERS.Review of both book & audioWELCOME TO WORLD WAR FREAK!!!Nate Temple...The Man With The Magic,The Mask. The Wizard!Shayne Silvers...The Man Behind The Magic,The Mask & The Wizard! The Maestro!!!Grab onto yer sack of magic balls and stuff and hang on for ah toe-tah-lee awesome ride of epic proportions as help arrives in the form of a mouthy smart ass wizard carrying a man purse with a cure for a reptile dysfunction!!!Tiny Gods Has To Be My Favourite Shayne Silvers Book To Date.Its literally to die for as the author tries to kill you with comedic skits that feel never ending!I spent the first 2 chapters of this book/audio laughing, sounding like a donkey braying while having an asthma attack, then threw my neck out whiplash style with my body jerking back & forth in fits of giggles which in due course caused my sleeping puppy to jump all over & maul me, joining in thinking she was missing out on the jubilation (which in turn became true tears of physical pain)!Seriously this book/audio is that good you'll spit your spine out laughing while fighting through the tears of hilarity cascading down your face as you desperately try to read the words through the blinding tears that freely flow throughout chapters 3 & 4.Greatest start to 'The Book Of All-Time!' Definitely 4 of the best chapters I've ever read, now to complete the rest.I think my body hates you both Shayne Silvers & Joel Richards! It aches all over & I'm only 4 chapters in of ah toe-tah-lee gut-busting side-splitting riotous scream fest!OMG, The talents of Joel Richards' is 'Off The Scale!' His dark, gravelly tones are the perfect choice for such an iconic anti-hero, one whose slowly undertaking a metamorphosis of sorts. Finding his way in the world of Freaks (those with powers & abilities) & Regulars (normal humans) finding out who & what Nate Temple truly is or meant to be while trying to do the right thing.Protecting both species, his city & her people while taking out the bad guy's one at a time.And to think I actually almost sent Boxset # 2 back to Audible after listening to Beast Master (book 5).I'm not sure if it was me, (being unwell) Joel (as a 1st time listener), the story or listening to the narration too slow or a combination of all 4, but Silvers' Freaky Facebook Family, 'The Den of Freaks' convinced me to hang in & give Joel another shot citing I wouldn't be sorry!I didn't listen to Silver Tongue (audio book 4) as I'd forgotten I'd bought the boxset way back.And I'm so grateful I posted my thoughts to the group now, as I would have missed out on the Best Book by far in the Nate Temple series to date!I cannot believe the differences from how I felt reading/listening to book 5 Beast Master to how I felt reading Tiny Gods.With Zany Silvers & Gold Richards to the Rescue, it felt like a totally different author, narrator & series. Like Day & Night , Gold & Silver, but in ahh toe-tah-lee awesome way!I don't think the small sample snippet of Joel Richards narrating the Nate Temple books on Audible really does him Justice. I didn't like the sound, but realised I had to adapt the speed higher in order to throughly love it.The great thing with audible, if you don't like it they will replace the book or credit. I bought it thinking no harm, no foul,if I didn't like it, it would be replace.I now say always give a series, author or narrator a real go, don't just go by the tiny snippet, I'd doesn't always do the narrator justice. Or these been some I thought geez I love the sound of this, only to despise it!'GOLD' 'FREAKING EPIC', 'OUTSTANDING PERFOMANCES ALL ROUND!'Some of the most brilliantly writing & narrating yet, action packed, die laughing car chase scenes, packed full of Silvers' super sharp snark, shade slinging, slays I've ever read. With Magic & mind blowing gob smackers that just blow your lid!Joel voices every character to perfection. I love his rendition of Death.☆⚠️N.B.⚠️☆ If you have not read books 1-6 or beyond in the Nate Series my thoughts in the next 2 paragraphs # 1) & 2). could be potentially spoilers, (I'm not sure) but skip if you wish.1).When I read about the Temple's 'Master' library cavern, my jaw literally hit the floor. I thought I was gonna die from all my book 'geek-esses' dreams come true! A library like that just does something to a gal, you know? Like the way a Rock Star makes girls in the audience turn to mush by strumming those strings & making love to his guitar or the how a Singer makes love to his mike stand while waxing those poetic lyrics?Well I think Shayne Silver’s just gave me my 1st “Book-gasam’, but then hearing about the lost Library of Alexandria, and my world was totally rocked, mind blown & if at a concert I'd be screaming, Yes Maestro, Yes after lightning a cigarette (not that I smoke, its bad 4 the health)!2).Thinking about it, It completely & utterly blew my mind, the purple flames emitting no heat + the Waterfall of water not being wet or adding dampness in a cavern + purple is a colour often associated with the Wizard Merlin + where there’s Merlin, King Arthur's not far behind + there's a 'Round Table' = Every readers mind must have been coming to the same conclusions 'Purple Flames' 'Merlin, 'Arthur' 'The Round Table' = Camelot?⚠️Return to reading non spoiler review here⚠️I'm an so in love with Shayne Silvers,But in saying that, Lexy you can keep him. We all know he's yours anyway, I just want him 4 a good time...I mean for his brain, his books, and a damn good read!The ultimate in a tri-urban fantasy series you can get lost in for weeks and months not just hours or days. Brilliant Author, Brilliant Narrator, but it took a bit of more than 1 Audio to get into Joel 4 me, but there's no going back now!The Nate Temple Series is The Ultimate Conflict between forces of light & dark, good & bad.Nate's journey of self discovery is completely underway, he was an arrogant ass who had it all, fame, fortunate power, money, an eidetic memory & a smart mouth, but overtime now he's grown, developing into that man with a code of ethics, morals, truth, protection & justice.Fighting firstly his own consciousness of right & wrong & realising that he's not always right & coming to grips with that journey of self discovery, his magic's, the toys, the weapons & the position he's been destined to play by others.He's far from Mr Perfect often making monumental judgements of error and while he's not exactly the classic White Knight in shining armour who rides in on his trusted steed to save the day, Nate has a black steed, one who's certainly no nag, Grimm is a deadly blood thirsty unicorn like no other, with a mane of black feathers with a blood read orb in the centre that rises in times of danger as a warning like a frill neck lizards, a display to all 'Danger persist at your own peril'). And while he often saves the day most people have no idea, its just Nate's inner crew of Freaks & a few Regulars that know the true dangers St Louis & the World is facing.So is our magical wizard the anti-hero with the man purse bag of tricks finally becoming a hero? Well you'll just have to read. I RATE TINY GODS 5 ⭐ OUT OF 5 ⭐Wish I could rate it higher & recommend this book, series & author. Run out & buy his books today, you won't regret, Happy Reading your about to start the journey of a lifetime.I bought a copy of this boxset & audio from the Amazon/ Audible and this is my fair, honest and impartial review as always.Reviewed By : Jewelz Pederick🙋‍♀‍ ❤ From the 🤪 🇦🇺 📖🐛❗(Bye Love From The Crazy Australian BookWorm)!
