Eat, Slay, Love

The Good Guys, Book 10

De: Eric Ugland

Narrado por: Neil Hellegers

An endless night, full of hungry shadows.

The most dangerous night of the year is upon Coggeshall. Fiends' Night, when the boundary between Vuldranni and hell is the weakest.

And so hell comes out to play.

To survive the night, Montana must put his entire holding on lockdown and turn hastily made cave apartments into an actual, inviting home for thousands of Coggeshall residents. Most of whom don't really know or like each other. And all of whom have different ideas of what needs to be done on Fiends' Night.

So, intent on becoming the duke his people deserve, Montana spends the night flitting about Imperial balls, handing out gifts to children, squeezing through kobold tunnels, and building with the dwarves. It's his hand-shaking, baby-kissing time to shine.

Oh, except that The Master he just took care of in Osterstadt? That was the wrong one.

The real Master is hiding in Coggeshall, and Montana has to catch him before the entire holding becomes his dinner.

Lost some of its verve

Eric Ugland crafts another entertaining addition to the series and while there was some movement in the story, it also had a filler-novel quality to it. There were loses of comrades, defeat of a major enemy and the introduction of another significant enemy and faction that materializes late in the book. This late introduction limited the time to gain much backstory or battling exposure. Also, the "Love" part of the title was misleading in that it hadn't bloomed with Montana and with others it wasn't clear if it was love or just a lustful relationship.

Still, I enjoyed the novel and look forward to the next book in the series.

Neil Hellegers' performance was as flawless as I've come to expect.

Slime!

Eric Ugland treats Montana like a combination of Stretch Armstrong and Slime. I’ve never seen an MC shit on so often and so literally and I love it. He always comes out on top covered in nasty. I also love the fast-paced, non-stop snark read by Neil Hellegers. These are the best kinds of books. Pure fun, beginning to end.

Really good - More!

Every time I finish a book in this series I'm like "Damn It, Now I have to wait for the next one!"

More. Please!

Better and better

Well done. Keeps getting better
I really enjoy the plot and the characters
It’s always a good challenge and a good twist

The Adventure Continues

The Master is in Montana’s duchy and he has to figure out how to expose him. And while he’s at it, it’s the night of the year when all the demons come calling. Lots of tension, lots of fighting, and frankly, an important moment of character growth.

This story is also useful for reminding us of the seemingly dozens of groups of people that Montana has invited into his duchy. Most of them don’t like or trust each other, but somehow he keeps making it all work.

This one has a very solid ending.

Mostly good but ending was sort of terrible

With how heavily it’s been foreshadowed and set up, the confrontation at the end of the book ends very quickly and in a very lackluster way. I get the author was trying to encourage the main character asking for help and the like, but that doesn’t mean nether rewarding him nor making the final fight against this big bad guy who took away multiple people in the main cast is a good move. Rather, it sort of left a bad taste in my mouth. It was otherwise fairly good, although much of the book felt very meandering and like little was actually accomplished compared to past books (in terms of character growth and progression)

It was a good addition to the series though, and I enjoyed it for the most part

lackluster

This was the most disappointing one for me. While it could be a bridge book (connect story from last book to this one) it feels more incomplete than that. especially since the end should have continued rather than stop where it did.

Also while I originally disagreed with the he's too dumb thing later on I saw what was meant. More than that he whines too much.
will continue when at a computer

love the series

not my favorite in the series but i still enjoyed it. I cant wait to see how the whole story plays out

Forget the negative reviews

*Waaa waaa waaa* We want main story line!!

What, exactly, IS the main story line? The Emperor?

That is just a small bit in the actual main story here, which is the MC.

There is no Demon Lord or something, at this point, trying to take over the world.

Just....enjoy the books :-)

Great addition. Really enjoyed it 👍👍👍👍👍

Great Series

Look forward to the rest of the series. Can't wait for the two main characters to come together from the other series!
