Vainqueur the Dragon

De: Maxime Durand

Narrado por: Jack Voraces

Vainqueur Knightsbane is your average dragon: A giant, fire-breathing lizard who loves to take naps on his golden hoard, kidnap princesses for fun, and make the life of adventurers miserable. Vainqueur's only pleasure in life is to watch his treasure get bigger, one coin at a time.

So when a would-be thief turned unwilling minion tells him about "classes", "levels", and "quests", Vainqueur wonders if maybe, just maybe, he should consider a career change.

After all, why bother hunting monsters for free when you can get paid for it?

Hilarious and engaging!

I first discovered Void Herold after coming accross the 'perfect run' series which has since become one of my FAVORITE series of ALL TIME. Thats saying ALOT because i both listen to and read books constantly. Just click on my name and look at the number of reviews i have just on audible to confirm the varied titles I've flown through. So i tried out a couple of his other series but nothing hit me quite like the perfect run did so i figured it might've been a one off or something but then i listened to this book and found that distinctive humor that could only be his again. Hes got this hilarious way about his dialogue and even descriptive narration that just kills me. We're hearing things from Vainqueur's perception so the narration misinterprets and misconstrues things constaly in the funniest way due to his arrogance or just plain stubborn denial. The best thing of all is its not just a funny story but also has a very engaging entertaining plot and fleshed out characters. This book is the full package and im really glad i found another series written in the same style as the perfect run. Maxime Durand is a magnificent genius!
Post script. I almost left out Jack Voraces, his job narrating this book was brilliant. At first i wasnt a fan of the synthesizing of the voice for different characters and species but after getting into the story i couldnt imagine it any other way. His voices for all the characters are perfectly fitting and his performance is flawless. Wonderfully produced work of art right here. Thank you for a very entertaining listen!

Awesometacular

This audiobook is beyond what I anticipated. The story of a egotistical dragon and a loser manling was more epic, crazy, and fun that I figured. The story is well contained, leaving the possibility of a sequel, not the demand. The reader, excellence and skill were great to hear. I recommend for anyone looking for a fun listen.

Real Dragon Depiction

Awesome 👍...after playing dungeons and dragons and seeing the pictures of Dragons and there hordes I finally get to read a novel about it. Great voice sounds with a synthesizer. Can't wait to read the second.

if you like quick wit with a Twist

if you like our current dungeon Lord and Terry Patrick author of The Discworld series then you'll like Facebook that turns whole premise of someone going to a new world with levels instead of making him the main hero he's the unwilling sidekick of the Dragon play the horrors and hilarity begin

Enjoyable

I loved Durand’s Perfect Run series. This series is very different but still the same humor. I don’t enjoy it as much so far but still really good and look forward to continuing the series. Narration is very well done also.

Great book

I really enjoyed this book, it was funny and entertaining. I look forward to reading another book by Maxime Durand. Jack Voraces did a great job in his performance with the different characters.

role playing adventures must

well written and interesting. even more fun on audio excellent voice actors and funny for the whole family whatever jokes your kids don't get you will an absolute must in my opinion

Great to listen to.

I love this series only two books so far and I can not wait for the third. The story is hilarious and heart wrenching at times but never dull. I reccomend a listen if you like original story types.

Vainqueur Best Dragon

Such a fun story. And such a fun concept. Stumbled on this almost by accident. Now I’m going to be getting every single book. This narrator did a fantastic job bringing this character to life. You can feel the exasperation and the triumph in his voice.

man this book rocked

If I had to describe this book in one word it would be, hilarious. But more than that everything about this book was great. From the beginning to the post epilogue bonus chapter.

It's hard to adequately describe what makes this a great book, it is a self aware humor based gamelit novel that plays a bit like a buddy comedy.

There is a bunch of fun dialogue, and plenty of quirky characters, they never play on a joke to the point where it gets annoying.

the narrator is excellent all the way through, there were a couple instances where they forgot to use the voice effect for Vainqueur, but other than that a spotless performance.
