This was a fun listen and my Minecraft loving kiddo really enjoyed it! A good narrator and story line.

My almost 7 year old Minecraft loving son absolutely loved listening to this book. We have the book set and have read several of the books already. My son enjoyed listening to the book while following along in the physical book. If you were just listening without the physical books you do miss out on the great visuals in the book but we would definitely recommend this audio production for any Minecraft loving person.

This audiobook version of Diary of an 8 Bit Warrior is fantastically done. The voice and sound effects help clearly convey the story in the absence of pictures that the print version has.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* Started reading these books to give them to my nephew, finished it because it was cute lol perfect books for kids that love Minecraft for sure!

Got this for my son (age 11) to listen to. Once he started listening to it I had a hard time getting him to stop.
He owns several Minecraft books, but hasn’t taken the time to read them so having them on audio was awesome. He could “read” them while still being able to do other things.
He loved them and said they were lots of fun to read.

These are some of my 8-year-old's favorite books and he's been encouraging me to read them. I was excited to see the audiobook version here, so we've been listening to them together. The narrator is fun and the stories have lots of humorous components. It does miss out on some of the great visuals in the books, but is still lots of fun to listen to!

I listened to the first three books of Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior by Cube Kid, this amazingly narrated by Michael Gallagher. 8-Bit Warrior #1 An Unofficial Minecraft Adventure, 8-Bit Warrior #2 From Seeds to Swords, and 8-Bit Warrior #3 Crafting Alliances.

Runt is a young villager who tries hard in school to become a warrior, a hero. Many things happen for Runt, he meets new friends, finds his courage, and fights for his village.

Although I'm not a game or Minecraft addict or something like that, still these series are interesting and humorous! I read Tales of an 8-Bit Kitten, funny they intersect each other here!

Many Thanks to Andrews McMeel Audio and NetGalley for the ARC, I have given my honest review.

I'm reviewing this book from the perspective of my younger son (almost 7). He loved it, gave it five enthusiastic stars, and especially appreciated the humor. He listened to it on a roadtrip and we heard him giggling from the back seat throughout our trip. My older son (almost 10) felt the book was a bit too young for him. Both of my sons are Minecraft enthusiasts. While this is not a book that adults will want to read (very geared toward young readers), it's a good choice for 1st through 3rd grade readers, especially those who are familiar with Minecraft.

Thank you NetGalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
I can see kids enjoying Cube Kid's series taking place in Mindcraftia. Sadly listening to this in 2022 and as an adult, it seemed pretty dated. It was cute though.

My son is playing Minecraft seriously for couple years. That's why I think he will enjoys this books collection so much.
As a totally stranger to the game, I am personally found this book quite interesting. The characters have goals and hero quest. The plot is there. And the most important this book remind us and maybe teaching about how fun an adventure and consequences of decisions making.
Thanks Netgalley for providing me with this book.

Something’s wrong in the land of Minecraftia. Monsters and mobs are becoming more organized, attacking on schedules, and working together to destroy villages. Runt is a young villager who is just joining school with the hopes of levelling enough to become a warrior. But he soon learns that being a warrior is harder than he thought, especially when competition within the school turns mean. Will Runt be able to fulfill his dreams? What’s causing the monsters of Minecraftia to behave in these strange ways?

As someone who plays Minecraft, I thought this book was enjoyable. There were so many fun references to the game (some subtle, most not) that made me smile, and I loved how the author addressed the game Minecraft versus the land of Minecraftia. Reading an NPC’s view of Minecraft was quite fun. Though there was one instance where a group of girls won a challenge, and I was sad that the author said that the girls didn’t even realize what they’d built was good, they’d only done it because it was cute. In a book that is largely made up of male characters, this is especially disappointing.

I listened to the audiobook version of this collection. The narrator was talented and did a good job at including a range of fun voices and excellently mimicking sounds from Minecraft. I enjoyed his narration.

I’m not sure how fun this read would be for those who don’t play Minecraft, but I think all children would probably enjoy this collection.
