Kill the Farm Boy by Delilah S. Dawson, Kevin Hearne
funny
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
(3.5 Stars)
I was a little worried about this book... I do like a good punny book, but I usually like to keep it between 6 and 8 hours. This book is 13 hours, so I was worried I'd get tired of the puns, but I shouldn't have worried. It was paced nicely and had a nice flow.
I have only read one short story by Delilah S. Dawson, so I am not very familiar with her writing style, but I've read everything released by Kevin Hearne and find his style very comfortable. This is a moderate departure from his usual style and I wasn't able to connect with the characters as well as I did with his Iron Druid series.
Overall, this book was enjoyable and the authors did a great job visualizing the world it was set in, but some of the characters felt a little two-dimensional.
The narration was done by Luke Daniels, and I think he had to use every single voice in his arsenal.
If you like fantasy, quest, puns, and maybe furrys... this could be the book/series for you.
