simply perfect

Another triumph for the magnificent L.G. Estrella, their artistry is brilliant. Great characters, genuinely laugh out loud funny. Fred Berman is also the best narrator on this platform

Couldn't get on with it sadly

I love all L G Estrella books, I listened to the sample and I also love Fred Bermans narration , so eagerly went ahead and purchased. But it just droned on until I had to admit defeat, it seemed to lack the humour and pace of the series, so there was nothing to encourage me to keep going. Fred Bermans voice sounded tired compared to the earlier books.

As its more of a reference and background description of the creatures encountered, I think this one is more suited to a paper book which sadly isn't available thus far.

Funny and informative

A bit different to Timmy and co, but I liked how the chapters seperated the creatures and when the protagonist shared his experiences of meeting the creatures. Some very funny and also emotional moments, nice listen.

Not an actual story

Written well, and Burman is a great narrator. The book is information about monsters, and there are hints of a great story. I hope we some day get the actual stories!

More of the 6th age please

did not know I needed this gave me multiple chuckles and enjoyed the flow of the book and unlike the asinine review that clearly did not read blurb or listen to a sample of this book and disappointed them with what they got I clearly understood what this was and it held to the high expectations I have from the author I was not disappointed narrator is fantastic worth a shout out

An instant classic

Yet more evidence that the author is a genius in fantasy literature. The books are such a great romp that it is easy to overlook the amazingly detailed (and very sensible) world building. This "monster manual" helps give some depth to the world that Timmy the necromancer inhabits.

a man how has seen things and is not afraid to say it.

the book reads like an old man trying to teach you about the world throw his experiences and is told like it disconnected but it makes to much sense in context. supper casual but semi angry in many cases.

Its just a guide to monsters in Timmy's world

If you thought this was set in the same universe as two Necromancers, then you would be correct, HOWEVER!!!!
There is no story really, and the word Unicorn is being said atleast 500 times,
The setup is basically an Immortal Monster Hunter/wrangler tells you about the various Monsters, what they look like, and how to sort of handle them.

However, it does give detailed background info on the various beast and monsters in the TN (Two Necromancers) Universe.
which is okay I guess, the only "story" is the fate of people crossing the various monsters, however, the same characteristics are being repeated atleast 5 times for each monster...

The Narrator does a gritty Australian kind of accent and it gets a bit tedious in the long run.

So, if you, like me, had hoped for exciting stories set in the TN universe, maybe even involving some of the named characters or locations, then you will be disappointed, just like I was.
(Please note that I am only halfway through, so this might change as it goes on, but it does not seem like it..
