Contains Books 1 and 2 of the Unconventional Heroes series.

Two Necromancers, a Bureaucrat, and an Elf, book 1:

Two necromancers, a bureaucrat, and an elf - it sounds like the start of a bad joke, only the joke is on Timmy.

Timothy Walter Bolton - better known as Timmy - has spent most of his life as a necromancer. When he isn't terrorising his enemies, he's plotting inside his castle, which is built on top of lightless chasms filled with nameless horrors and beings of a generally malevolent and megalomaniacal nature. But after one of his latest creations, a zombie hydra-dragon-bear, tries to eat him, he decides that maybe it's time to find a new, less dangerous, career.

But that's easier said than done. He's a wanted criminal with no shortage of powerful (and crazy) enemies, and he has a bone or two to pick with the Everton Council of Mages.

It's a good thing that he's got some help: an obnoxious 10-year-old apprentice who thinks that pink glasses are appropriate for a budding necromancer and a bumbling bureaucrat who may or may not make it through their first real fight without puking his guts up. Wonderful.

Two Necromancers, an Army of Golems, and a Demon Lord, book 2:

Two necromancers, an army of golems, and a demon lord - it sounds like a recipe for trouble, and for Timmy, it definitely is.

To earn his pardon and avoid horrible torture and/or gruesome execution, Timmy has to complete every mission the Council throws his way, most of which seem to involve extremely scary things trying to kill him. At least he’s got help - sort of. His help consists of an apprentice with designs on his castle (and her plans may or may not involve overthrowing him), a bureaucrat whose two greatest skills are fainting in the face of trouble and using people (usually Timmy) as human shields, and an elf with the world's worst case of pyromania and enough magic to level a mountain.

Somehow, Timmy's got to get this bunch of unconventional heroes to work together. Trouble is coming, and it's trouble of the kind that only a necromancer like Timmy could possibly find himself in the middle of.

Good story. Great narration. But there are several areas in the narration when it repeats the same short segment 2 or 3 times. At first I though I had pressed the rewind button, but after 3 or 4 episodes of this, when it would repeat a segment twice, a few minutes repeat a different segment 3 times, and so on, over several segments, I realized it was just lazy post production editing. if anyone had cared enough they would have fixed it before releasing the book.

The book itself was very good, maybe 4.5 stars if that were an option. Good story. Funny. Quirky. Very enjoyable. Narration was great. Definetky worth the time. And I am very picky about liking audio books.

I wasn't really impressed with book #1 of the publisher's pack. It was not as belly-laugh funny as I'd hoped it would be. It wasn't a great story, and the author overindulged in loquacious dialog without much happening. Some of the battle/fight segments were so tedious that I fell asleep and had no urge to rewind. Then I got to the prequel shorts in the middle of the books and the characters took off, the authors garrulousness reduced and story became interesting as new characters and story lines were introduced. If I'd just bought book #1, I'd likely have returned it, but as a publisher's pack, the added sections saved this listen. I liked it enough that I may even eventually get book 3. I'd rate book #1 as 1.5-stars and from the prequel shorts on as 4+stars. The moral of the story is don't give up while reading the first book in this 2 book publisher's pack.

After book 1, I was ready to stop listening

Wasn’t sure if I would enjoyed the book based on the title but I have thoroughly enjoyed chuckling throughout all the series. The idea was throughly refreshing and I loved the characters.

Great Read

I listen to a lot of books at work, and this was great! It’s dark but silly. There were some play back issues in book 2 chapters 4 and 5 easy enough to get around. If one likes maniacal laughing while dressed in bright pink, this is your thing. Or anyone who enjoys Yahtzee Croshaws mogworld.

Great

I listened while exercising. Found it to be a good book to listen to while walking.

One of my favorite listens of the year! The narrator really brings it to life!

Brilliant

there was a lot of foreshadowing in this book that was incredibly easy to predict. The language is simple so a child can understand it but it uses adult cursing to make it unsuitable for children. I love the stories and the humor that's provided in these novels. I wish that the stories were a little more in-depth though. Large sections of Heim get skipped in the stories. I want something a little more in-depth. More character development would be fantastic. overall if you enjoy a light-hearted story about necromancers and elf golems and then some then this story is right up your alley. As a fantasy nerd I must admit it's a great change-of-pace. if you enjoyed the first book this one will be just as good.

some of the Beats of the story was very predictabl
