Acerca de esta escucha
In an attempt to win the hand of Princess Gloria in marriage, Sir Terry slays a dragon - only to discover he's killed the dragon in a neighboring kingdom and inadvertently earned the devotion of the wrong princess. And everyone knows that getting stuck with the wrong girl is truly a fate worse than dragons.

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Just yesterday, Ben was a petty criminal getting by on fleecing New York’s one-percenters. Today, he's got a new face, a new name, and a new world to navigate. And Ben’s thinking maybe this time around, he’ll use his skills at disarming and deceiving to help out people other than himself. Maybe. Watching a medieval City Guard fight off a 20-foot-tall ooze that crawled up from the sewers will make you think twice about life decisions.

Amusing
Fun little book. John Moore is an entertaining comedic fantasy writer. Reminds me of Pratchett, but a little less goofy. I thought Heroics for Beginners was funnier, but this was pretty great.

Fantasy humour that's actually funny!
This was a great listen. You're introduced to a fantasy world that lightly mocks itself throughout, with four main characters who are all likeable in different ways, yet each has their own goals.
The humour is there from the beginning, starting as a dry, Terry Pratchett-esque wry wit that evokes the occasional chuckle. For example, the idea that a knight who slays a dragon wins the hand of a princess is true in this world - due to Common law precedents that are hotly contested by lawyers. It's only in the climax that the humour starts to hit a peak, leaving you grinning for much of the last two hours. It's sometimes salacious (griffons prefer a diet of virgins, leading to some suggestive scenes as the virgins decide not to be dinner) and sometimes anachronistic, but never so topical that it gets dated. The rich magnate who is engaged to the princess made his fortune... by patenting sliced bread.
The whole book was a lot of fun, especially by the end when the plot threads and the jokes were coming together at last. The narrator did a good job with the different voices, and the sound quality was fine. The only real problem I have with it is that it's relatively short - I could get much better value for a credit by buying a longer book. But I find that with humour, short and sweet is better than drawing a tired joke out.
I'll be collecting the rest of John Moore's books, I think.
