The author mentioned in his preface that he was influenced heavily from the serialized format of his enormous comics collection and decided to have fun here.

It's obvious that he had a lot of fun, too, because each tiny chapter propels all the action forward in what might look like one long book of nothing but action with tiny sequences of dialogue that was just another pretext for more action.

And far from complaining, this was a light action read with magic that keeps flipping itself on and off in really cool ways that make the battles fun and dangerous and chaotic. Post-apocalyptic in nature and setting, with western-type elements of the Hero's Journey, our MC is without memory or home, in mortal danger.

This is a real crowd-pleaser, a popcorn adventure, and a fast-paced romp through death and discovery with only gentle inclusions of world-building.

The point is to have fun, and this is accomplished in spades. :)

Not my usual preference, and I'm not sure where I got exposed to it, but I certainly enjoyed it! Lots of action and without the usual recognizable cuss words. Being written in serial format makes it more affordable and easier for reading in travel or waiting areas. A good read! ( )

The Wizard Killer, Season 1
A Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy Serial
By: Adam Dreece
Narrated by: Justin James
This is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary.
I have been wanting to start this series for a long time and when I saw this opportunity, I jumped for it. It didn't disappoint. It is a short book but it packed a punch. It outlined characters, world building, and more as it dove into the story. The main character wakes up from the dead, that's right..for the third time too...and we as readers get to experience how and what he remembers. We learn as he learns. We know he has magic, he is a wizard killer, and boy is he durable! He gets hurt a lot! LOL. It is a great fantasy read to introduce us to the series and I am glad I got started.
The narrator could not have been better. Perfect voice and performance for the many characters that the wizard came in contact with (and the strange languages). ( )

To my wife,
who has either become a firm believer in me as an
author, or has completely lost her marbles. Either way,
the journey's fun,

To my daughter,
who surprised me by loving this tale and asked me
when the next one would be ready,

And to my friend Evan,
whose amazing support and encouragement helped
me to keep going in those moments when I wasn't
sure.
