Enjoyable short diversions

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed having some short stories to listen to on short drives. The readers for the stories are all excellent.

Excellent start for your Iron Kingdoms Fluff

Best to listen to while painting or driving, these stories are an excellent way to hear about how some of your favorite models interact on the day to day on the continent of Immoren.

A bunch of good trailers

The stories are les than full short stories rather than a start to them. Still the writing is pretty good.

Some really great some not so good.

overall, this is well worth listening to and worth the money. some stories and or performances just aren't as good as others . but, it's still very interesting and fun.

Big disappointment

after the exxciting worldd of the Grimmies and the disillusionment of the survival of mankind in Monster Huntets International (along with the quirky twists of Orcs, Agent Frank's, and a.myriad of other interesting characters) this book had uninteresting characters and storing that left me wondering where one ended and where one began and why anything here was either entertaining or relevant.

I will admit that I have not read any other books in this storyline but I was seriously disappointed when I had to start searching for my hidden pain pills at 2AM because I hurt and this is no distraction from a complete knee replacement surgery last month. However, writing this helped decrease the pain!

PLEASE heed title, not worth your time or money

I really thought I was buying a short story series. It was not. It is literally small excerpts from books. Very disappointing and pointless.

Depressing & A Poor Value

This is a collection of sketches NOT short stories. Literature can be written from the POV of the monster or barbarian. To be worthwhile, it should incorporate a desirable or necessary characteristic, e.g. tenacity, strength, cunning, etc. Many in this collection celebrate only violence and destruction. It has 1 or 2 OK pieces.
