Resumen del Editor

Diana Gabaldon, New York Times best-selling author of the immensely popular Outlander series, teams up with son Samuel Sykes to pen this supremely funny satire on religion, sexism, and power. A decidedly unusual pairing, half-breed sorceress Armecia and her constantly stoned sidekick, Sir Leonard of Savhael, join forces with a cowardly church vassal and a giantess posing as a nun. Their quest? To catch and kill Zeigfried, a fiery - if not too fearsome - dragon.

This was a great short story.

As always Diana Gabaladon grabs you right away and keeps you sucked in. These two authors together are nothing short of amazing. Dragon hunting and wayward hero's, what more could you ask for?

I would call this a story snippet

The story was Not bad. The length of it not good. The story could have shed more background on the characters.
At 1st I felt like the narrator was scolding or lecturing me or the characters I'm not sure she was very harsh. I went and sampled some of her other work to see if this is how she always reads stories and with the exception of one she seemed to hold a softer tone. so I'm not sure what was going with that. The narrative got better towards the end.

Laugh

I had no idea what to expect from this book. What I got was a wonderfully well written, humorous, sometimes grossly detailed, fairy tale styled short story. LOVED IT. The trio made up of the authors and the reader is unsurpassed! Enjoy and be prepared to laugh!!

Not What I Expected But Okay

What made the experience of listening to Humane Killer the most enjoyable?

The narrator was good and made the characters interesting. I don't guess I care for fantasy like this. I bought it because of Diana and her son but it isn't a story type that I like.

Would you recommend Humane Killer to your friends? Why or why not?

No. I think most of my friends would not like it.

Which character – as performed by Jill Tanner – was your favorite?

I liked the sorcerer but really none of the characters grabbed me. I found that it didn't really matter to me what happened to any of them. I was glad to see the dragon didn't die.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Nothing extremely good or bad. I'll try another book by Sam Sykes.

Not as good as I expected

I had trouble understanding the narrator's speech patterns. Accent also seemed strange. The plot unfolds very slowly with a lot of unnecessary conversation. After enjoying the Highlander series I was very dissapointed.

A short but exciting tale!

A funny little band of strangers become united in a common cause of killing the dragon “zigfreid”.

Didn't grow on me

This story just didn't hold my attention...Although I really wanted to support my favorite author and her son... Perhaps I just need to hear it again...

marvelous description

Always carefully chosen narration.
Diana Gabaldon is master at her craft.
Sam Sykes is a fine blend and balance.

Humane killer

I liked the sort of smoking weed not so much and the nun really. I think a different story voice would be better.
