Frae

listened to entire book.

Revisado: 06-29-22

I find the initial example of the author and his son a very weak argument on which to introduce the principles of his work. Some ideas are worth implementing, most I found strange and not digestible. Some grammatical errors, the authors voice was pleasant. Anyone with an overactive conscience or one who needs to work through guilt issues is sure to find this book more difficult than helpful. Apologizing to an abuser is not healthy so if you read this be aware the author promotes this. overall, a waste of time.

Pulse Pounding Epic Conclusion

Revisado: 04-25-20

he latest in Craig Halloran’s Henchmen series is another pulse pounding epic involving a hero that travels between Earth and the fantasy world of Titanuus. The same cast of characters, including Abraham, Sticks, Smoke, Sid, Big Apple and more, return to do their best to save not only themselves, but the worlds they live in. Villains from both worlds confront the heroes as they move between worlds bringing fantastic weaponry as they go, culminating in a satisfying ending that also opens the door to hopefully more novels in this exciting series.

Alexander Cendese’s voice offers only more to the characterization of this novel. His reading matches the pace, and never leaves me wanting. He’s a rising star to be watched, in the audiobook world, and I hope to hear much more of him.

The Henchmen Chronicles Do Not Disappoint

Revisado: 04-23-20

The King’s assassin is the exciting continuation in Craig Halloran’s King’s Henchmen series.

This installment follows Ruger Slade as he is, again, magically possessed by a different man from the near now world.

King’s Assassin is even more exciting than the former installment, which follows the course of Abraham, as he tries to protect his king and land, while trying to find a way home.

The King’s Assassin definitely picks up speed, where King’s Henchmen left off. I am very impatiently waiting for the next installment of this series.

This series is nothing like Halloran has written before. Its dark, gritty, and sometimes a little sexy. The series has strong characterization, as well as hysterical allusions to modern day, while still being a slash and dash, swords and sorcery genre.

I definitely recommend this book, if you like your DND with a little modern flavor.

I have likes Akexander Cendese's narration from the start, but the more the story goes, the more I am enjoying his characterization skills, and sound. He was simply born to narrate.

Henchmen Four Makes Me Want More.

Revisado: 04-23-20

This is the fourth installment of the henchmen series, The King’s Conjurer, by Craig Halloran, and won’t make much sense without reading the rest of the series.

In this book, Abraham is still flitting between his and Ruger’s body, though this book takes place much more in the present, near now world, than earlier books.

Henchmen IV starts to delve into the meaning of why he’s been traveling from his to Ruger’s body, though it is clear more answers are yet to come. This book also introduces Facility 117, which has been tracking Abrahams travels from now, to Titanuus.

Abraham is dragged more into the problems of Titanuus, and the struggle between good and evil. The King’s Conjurer also includes the Elders, who are mysterious godlike entities, who have clearly been involved in Titanuus affairs. The Elderlings serve these entities, for either good or ill, and most of their motives are unclear, and remain to be revealed.

The world that Halloran has created is detailed and well fleshed out, and though this book leaves more questions than answers, it is clear the conclusion will be a spectacular event.

The King’s Conjurer includes characters from Halloran’s Smoke series, and though it isn’t necessary to read the Smoke books, before reading this, it does help you understand the character better, when they are introduced.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and anticipate the conclusion. The King’s Henchmen is reminiscent, to me, of playing table top role playing games. It makes me feel like I am journeying with my adventuring companions, through the rich world of Titanuus. I would recommend this book, and the whole series, to those who enjoy sword and sorcery games.

I am really picky about the quality of voice performer I will listen to. That being said, Alexander Cendese hits all my requirements, He reads at a good speed, is clear and articulates, while still adding flavor to each character that is unique, and, yet, not comically overdone. A+

The narrator is compelling, and a new voice to me. He paces himself well, and intones the characters voices the way I imagine them in my mind. Bravo performance, Alexander Cendese.

The 50s Ville books are a lot of fun. Ibbetson has a very tongue in cheek style, that makes them dark and humorous, while not taking themselves too seriously.
