Resumen del Editor

Monster Hunter International may have had its roots in the United States of America, but there are plenty of monsters in the big old world. And wherever there are monsters, humans will need monster hunters. Here then, stories of the things that go bump in the night and the men and women who bump back—focusing on the myths, legends, and folklore of Czechia, by Czech authors. Includes a new short story by Larry Correia.

Great but

I really enjoyed this story collection a lot. I knew from the description that Mr Correa wasn't the main author and just provided one short story and some editing. I lowered my expectations a little due to this. My expectations were blown away. The stories are all good in their own right. I hope others can enjoy them ad I did.

however. yes that sneaks in. These stories don't have the same kind of flow that the main stories have had. I often wondered if these writers had read about this MHI universe for more than a few sentences. some seemed as if they were tweaked a little from general settings to fit in MHI land.
so, I enjoyed these. Just would have enjoyed more if they were a better fit.

Save your credit

It's interesting, but nowhere near the style or quality ofLarry Correia's books. I would have been surprised he'd put his name on them, if he hadn't already done the same for other vaguely related tales.

4 out of 5

Not sure if it was a cultural difference or some of the writers missed the mark, but Larry created a fantastic world and I'm here for it.

More Monster Hunter goodness

This was a great addition to the Monster Hunter series 5)2 cryptozoologist in me loved learned about European monster lore. I don’t know what other reviews were talking about when they said there was no action. It has plenty, maybe not as much as the main line books but it’s expressed multiple times that Europe handles situations more subtly than the US.

If you liked the main line books you’ll enjoy this one as a well. Plus Stephen Thorne is always a treat to listen to.

It's what I expected

I liked this book. Compared to some of the negative reviews, this is what I expected. It's an anthology of 11 short stories, originally written in Czech, by Czech authors, set in the Czech Republic, of hunters fighting Czech monsters. The translation is overall very good. There are some phrases here and there that could use better editing in English. I don't speak Czech and you don't need to either to enjoy the book. I didn't have problems following any of the names, places, or euphemisms. If you expected to see the MHI crowd run around Alabama, this isn't it. If you want to hear some fun short stories of characters you don't know fight some Slavic monsters in towns set in Eastern Europe written by authors you likely haven't read before then I recommend listening to this book. The stories are all different, some are better than others, but overall I enjoyed it.

Russians

I don't know about you but these Russians are dangerous I did yes a little bit too hash rupless and destructive our boys are a little bit more careful about nature and the rest of the world Russians are saying to hide destroy But what can we do about Russians

It was ok

Some stories were good and some put me to sleep
I'm a bit disappointed but I guess coming off the the Monster Hunter series my expectations were super high.

Decent at best

The first couple stories are good stories, but not the best. The last two are absolutely awesome.

lost in translation?

The writing in this lacks the luster and dialog the monster hunter series has previously exemplified.
I turned it off and returned it after the first hour and a half.

This is far from the MHI books that you are used to.

The book is very slow and to many different stories that go no where. Please stop letting other people write on your platform unless it's John Ringeo so far every time it's been a major let down.
