Loved it loved it loved it!

What a wonderful book and as usual, the narrator was fantastic. I’m going to replay it now!

A Lot of Fun for Old and New Fans of L. G. Estrella Alike

Very enjoyable in its own right, but also full of fun Easter eggs for fans of the author’s other works. I was particularly happy to hear about the Unconventional Heroes’ Spot’s ultimate destiny.

It’s an encyclopedia of mystical creatures. Not a story

For what it is….. it’s fine. However I was expecting a story not an encyclopedia of mystical creatures. The explanations are humorous. I really like this author’s work but frustrated that the explanation of the book was so vague as to what this book really was.

Mr Estrella can write anything and I will read it and love it

An interesting tale in his wonderful world. A completely different take than the usual and very appreciated

Not your “standard” L.G. Estrella book, but I’m loving it!

Warning! This is different from the author’s other works. I’m loving it, but it’s not a standard story. It’s short vignettes and instructions from a hero who has survived lots of fearsome monsters. There is a story thread woven through, but it’s not on the surface. The narrator’s great, but it might not be the right listen for you. Give the sample a listen to test it out before you buy it,

I really tried with this...

First of all I am a massive fan of the author. I love the Unconventional Hero's & Attempted Vampirism Series a TON!

But this...

Well, I really tried to make it past chapter 3 and just couldn't; the 3 chapters discussing unicorns and virgins vs. non-virgins and all that was just too much. I felt it was super cringey. I was really looking forward to the book :( but I guess every author has 1 that is unique and not for everyone.

I encourage all to at least give the sample a listen and see if it is your cup of tea, and if it isn't, you should check out his other stuff; it's head and shoulders above!

Not worth it

I have historically liked LG Estrella’s writing, but this book doesn’t compare to the other books
There’s no story, it is a “how to book”. Essentially, unless you are a virgin or carrying a cute wild creature you’re going to die painfully.
I couldn’t get past chapter 3.

Awful. Not a story, just fake facts.

What a waste of a credit. Love the author but this isn’t a story. It’s literally what the title says just instructions. I want my credit back!

Purchase with caution: it’s an encyclopedia

Purchased as soon as it was released purely because I loved every thing I’ve read by the author. All the humor and originality of the varying genres he’s done won my confidence. So bad on me for blindly rushing to buy a flat and lifeless Wikipedia page of mythical creatures. As interesting as being chained to a chair at a high school graduation without a relative in the ceremony.

Why?

I thought this would at least be funny or interesting to make up for the lack of story, but it wasn't. It was super redundant and simplistic. Please read anything else by this author and you will love it, but for the love of God, don't waste your money on this turd.
