Who is Brian Rouleau?

A series that reaches a seventh instalment has already answered the only question that really matters: people kept coming back. Judicator Jane began as portal fantasy with game mechanics bolted on, the sort of story where somebody from our world wakes up somewhere else with a menu hovering in front of them, and it has been building ever since.

Brian Rouleau writes it in a light register, with the comedy coming from the gap between the rules of the world and what the heroine decides to do with them. That is the whole appeal of the LitRPG shelf when it is handled well, and it explains why this run keeps finding listeners.

Judicator Jane 7 is the volume in front of us here, seventeen hours and thirty-five minutes read by Angela Clark, who has voiced the series throughout. That continuity matters in a long run: the heroine sounds like herself from one instalment to the next.

The score is strong across a good body of ratings, but do not start here. Go back to the first Judicator Jane and take the levels in order, because half the pleasure lies in the accumulation. The audiobooks below will show you the way in.
