Villains' Code

De: Drew Hayes

Narrado por: Amy Landon

A former superhero, cast down from glory, finds himself stuck in a town whose gaze remains fixed toward the past.

A priestess in another realm journeys onward, uncovering troubling secrets about both her world and her summoned champion.

A camp for newly turned meta-humans must cope with a siege from a nigh-endless army of unusual creatures, as a handful of campers battle their way toward the source of the danger.

Between grand adventures, what mishaps may occur in the world of the Villains’ Code? These are the smaller selections, short sagas within the greater story.

These are the Villains’ Vignettes.

A great appetizer

Drew Hayes is a master of fantasy writing. every universe is well created with a number of characters you can rapidly invest interest in.

I'm happy to get this appetizer before the 3rd book and enjoyed the allusions to Hayes' other universes.

Great Narration

A great addition of three short stories from characters set in Drew Hayes's villans code universe

So good

Drew crushed it again. His books are the coolest, I want more of them at all times

I want more

Great little side stories to pass the time though I was hoping for some more of Tori’s shenanigans it was cool to hear about Rick and more of Ivan’s hero adventure.

Great continuation of the story

Didn't like it as much as volume 1, but added depth to some side characters.

Amazingly written

He knocked another addition to this world out of the park! I greatly appreciated the Easter eggs/ inspirations that I recognized.

Love the Vignettes

These little stories about some of the main and minor charecters from the Villians' Code are great. The stories are a great way to deepen the charecters and introduce new ones that may show up. This one had 3 great stories that just make me want more! Hopefully another book set in the Villians' Code world will be here soon!

The Deepened World Building

Have you ever read a story that you just can't get enough of but aren't shown more of that world because those stories just aren't told? Have you wanted more and had to learn to live with disappointment? Well, you're in luck. The Villain's Code books have these vignettes, short(ish) stories that fill in the universe and tell interesting stories of the universe that just don't fit in the overall story umbrella. Drew Hayes gives us stories that make the characters more fleshed out to enjoy the main story even more. I appreciate him giving character development so much time. His characters can walk right off a page into our lives -- they are three-dimensional with not only powers, but problems and baggage to go along with it.

These stories are enthralling while giving us background that we wouldn't be lost without in the main series but add so much to the series. And of course, Amy Landon does a great job with consistent voices with emotion and difference between the characters. You should come enjoy this series with me.

Drew Hayes knocks it out of the park again!

These stories focused on characters I’ve always been interested in, and were well done. While they might not have a great affect on the Villains Code world, they definitely were interesting!

Great character portrayals

I love this series, sadly this book raises more questions than answers, which means I want more!
