About this listen
When a monster brutally kills her parents, Ara is saved by two beast hunters. Becoming their apprentice, she discovers serums, secret bestiary knowledge, and remarkable abilities—all to save unsuspecting souls from the same fate her parents suffered. But, terrifying creatures lurk everywhere and Ara must master the art of beast hunting quickly if she is to uncover the elusive beast plaguing the village of Cornstead.
©2021 Christer Aanestad Lende (P)2022 Christer Aanestad LendeLoved the banter between charismatic characters. It has a good feel to it and makes for captivating storytelling. It has a good mix of world building and storytelling put into an engaging (if a bit short) book. I also found it refreshing with interesting and unique monsters in this world and can’t wait for the expansion. Not that I don't like the classic fantasy creatures that also make their appearance during this story, but they’ve become quite predictable in many series so I like this bold approach of adding new creatures. It's fantasy after all.
Narrator:It took some time getting used to the narrator, as I’ve never heard Jonathan Johns before, and at first I wasn’t sure if he was my kind of narrator. However he grew on me during the audiobook and after hearing his own touch on the different characters/creatures we meet I have to say he did an amazing job. Might have been the “Rs” that threw me off in the beginning^^
Overall an impressive and enthralling story from Christer Lende that has great potential to grow into one of my favorite fantasy worlds along with: The First Law, Stormlight Archive, Mistborn and The Witcher. Waiting (far from) patiently for the continued story of The Beast Hunters!
A great listen into a new and inspiring world!
