![]() Potential listeners should be advised that it contains adult language. It has a fantastic mix of humor, fantasy, and adventure. I even gave up watching (*GASP*) TV to finish. I rushed home to plug into the wifi speakers to listen as I cooked in the kitchen. ![]() Yes! I found myself staying in my car to finish a chapter. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I become thoroughly engaged as his past, present, and future unfolded. Which character – as performed by Jeff Harding – was your favorite?Ĭlay Cooper was the central figure. He was equal parts brilliant and teetering on the edge of insanity. No spoilers, but any scene with Moog, the wizard of the band. What was one of the most memorable moments of Kings of the Wyld? I enjoyed the audio version enough to go back and reread in print or ebook. Would you consider the audio edition of Kings of the Wyld to be better than the print version? PS: It says this is part of a series, and I hope it is, but this book is effectively stand-alone. Do you like adventures? Humor? Wonderful tales? Interesting worlds? The Blues Brothers? Gentlemen Bastards? Silly wizards? Terrible odds that are defeated in actual believable ways? Then I recommend this book to you.

This was likely how it would end if not for the band's (oh yes, that is the pun and joke that drives this whole tale) frontman showing up on the doorstep of the protagonist of this tale, Slow-hand Clay. Now, however, families and middle age have set in with the group having gone their separate ways. This is a tale of a group of buddies that were great back in the day, nay, the greatest group of mercenary heroes in the land. A TL DR: After 200+ books, this is the first one that is truly like Lies of Locke Lamora, except I like this one more. Like a world class chef took my comfort food and turned it into a thousand dollar a plate meal.
