An entertaining and engaging tale

Well written, weaving folklore, history and mythology into an entertaining plot with characters that you can 'root' for.
I hadn't heard of this series prior to it appearing in my recommendations. But have thoroughly enjoyed both the storyline and vocal performance from the narrator.
I've read and listened to numerous books of this genre and would suspect that fans of Caimh Mcdonnell's Stranger Times series, Heide Goodie' Odd Jobs series, GS Dennings Warlock Holmes etc would also enjoy this

Extremely enjoyable!

Couldn't put the book down! I've read it in one sitting and I can't wait to start the next.

Been waiting for this.

I think that I have read all the authors published works, but this is the first that I read of them.
Unfortunately those I wished to press it upon don't read.
It's a odd book and series, especially given Conrad's past history in other books. That doesn't prevent it being great fun.
One other review complained about a robot voice, it's deliberate. The thing speaking looks more like R2D2 than any animal, has few recognisable emotions and is made out of rock!

Still, if you came to this book from the authors other work you might well be shocked. Especially as Conrad carries through into this series, as does another character in a later book in this series, not yet available.

loved it

this is not the usual run of the mill teen hero fantasy. it has something of the Peter Grant about it but it's more sophisticated. I loved it. stay with it at first, you'll be glad you did.

Great book

A future classic of its genre, witty and clever but with an interesting dark side.

Slow burner but excellent.

If you like urban/ modern fantasy like Rivers of London then you will love this book. I had read a review saying that the narration of this story was strangely clipped but don’t let that put you off. The character is ex RAF pilot and the narrator really captures the slightly upper class English accent.
The narration of this entire book is great, the characters really come to life.
The plot itself is a bit of a slow burner - don’t give up because one the story really gets going it’s hard to stop listening. While this type of fantasy has been done to death, there was something about the main character and his back story which made this an interesting listen.
Try it, you won’t be disappointed.
