Killing Them Awfully

The Good Guys, Book 11

De: Eric Ugland

Narrado por: Neil Hellegers

He's tried to ignore them for too long.

But the long-simmering conflict between Montana's holding at Coggeshall and the Night Goblins who also occupy the valley is about to boil over.

Usually, goblins aren't anything to write home about: an enemy without much size, intellect, or weaponry. But these goblins? Well, that's just not the case.

These are goblins with limitless resources, never-before-seen tactics, and horrifying monsters at their disposal. Worst of all, they don't fear death in the slightest.

They just might force a good guy to become what he has always struggled to defeat.

Killing Them Awfully is chaotic warfare, nonstop battles, and more monsters with digestive issues than totally necessary. Ready? Let's go to war!

Phew

Been with you for awhile now with the good guys series. Definitely one of my favorites.

Meh

Least favorite story progression of the series so far, still enjoyable though. Look forward to seeing what happens next

I feel this one ended too quickly! Could be I couldn’t stop listening… when I started these books (audibles) there were 9 available. Now I’m caught up and waiting for the next lol.
What happens next?! Great storyline and narration as usual! Can’t wait for the next one in the series and the next one in the Bad Guy series!

A High-Octane Yet Frustrating Adventure

Killing Them Awfully” by Eric Ugland is an adrenaline-pumping addition to The Good Guys series, deserving a 10/10 for its plot and action sequences. The book adeptly brings to a head the simmering conflict between Montana’s holding and the Night Goblins, introducing goblins with unparalleled resources and terrifying monsters. This escalation leads to chaotic warfare and nonstop battles, keeping the pace thrilling and relentless.

However, despite the high rating for the book’s overall excitement and storyline, my patience with the protagonist, Montana Coggeshall, is wearing thin. His lack of intellectual growth, poor memory, and severe communication issues, which have been a constant throughout the series, have reached a tipping point for me. While there has been some character development since the beginning, Montana’s inability to grow in certain crucial aspects is increasingly frustrating. His character’s stagnation, in contrast to the dynamic and evolving world around him, has led to my decision to take a break from the series, despite there being more books available. It’s a testament to Ugland’s writing that the series remains engaging, but for now, Montana’s character flaws overshadow the series’ many strengths for me

Fantastic realism of events

Not a fan of the 2-5 minute chapters, but love the series and narrator none-the-less.

Great action , good pace, frustratingly daft main character

I love the scope of the world and the effort into building it that I’ve experienced over the past 10 books, but I thought at some point the main character would stop being completely stupid. I mean he’s had an ability to ask a question and get an answer once a day since the second or third book and has never used it not one time.
I guess the appeal there is allowing the reader to feel more intelligent than the main acting character, giving them superiority in their own mind, and then keeping wrapped attention on the next action, hoping something with some measurable intelligence will happen in line with everything we’ve learned from the story so far . But it doesn’t. it is so intentional I can’t believe that it’s not and that there is some plot progression/reader-listener hypnosis that occurs through the conflicts of actions.
And main character, who I love , is such a whiny little girl most of the time. When he isn’t slaughtering the evil with such grace and gore.

Step in the Right Direction

I am not a fan of Montana's stagnant, backsliding characterization. Especially in the prior book, Eat, Pray, Love, which was the pinnacle of aggravation. This story is much better on demonstrating Montana's growth with none of the typical pitfalls from the previous works. Montana takes many good steps to not being unnecessarily dense. He has a long way to go, but he is admitting his lack of knowledge and actually uses the good advice he gets...eventually.

As for the story itself, it's fine. I was entertained and it was nice to experience the development of the side characters. However, the summarized plot doesn't occur until over a third of the way into book, which has been a trending issue for the last few books. Ultimately, anyone who decides to make it past book 10 will be rewarded with an overall improvement in book 11.

Neil Hellegers provides another excellent performance. Never any complaints with him

There's a Lot of Pain in This One

This book did not go the way I expected it to. Based on the book blurb and what I know of Montana from the other ten books, I expected him to charge off into goblin land and start killing Night Goblins from nearly the first chapter to the last. In all fairness, that is what Montana wanted to do too, but he is convinced that that would be irresponsible of him. So, he holds back and tries to intelligently bolster his defenses and he loses and loses and loses. It’s not that he doesn’t win individual fights. Montana is good at that. But the Night Goblins are waging a horrific and merciless war on his duchy and it frankly became painful to read as everything that has been built over the previous ten books is torn down, trampled, and killed. This is a very good addition of the series, but it didn’t leave me feeling pumped up and happy. There is a lot of genuine pain in this one.
