Monster Hunter Legion by Larry Correia

New thing today, finished Monster Hunter Legion by Larry Correia. It's the 4th in the Monster Hunter series. I LOVE this series. It's about monster hunters and sounds cheesy but I actually really love how its written and am a fan of the author and another series called the Grimnoir Chronicles he writes. Ok maybe I like a little cheese.

Anyway the book was excellent! Since we had a trip to Vegas planned, I wanted a few books to read for relaxing by the poolside. This book was luckily SET in Vegas, and monsters and hell break loose and people are battling. There are some great bad guys and supernatural creatures. It's a simple plot but just a fun story of monster hunting. SPOILER! I love dragons, and lets just say, there's a dragon in this story, and I love how the dragon is in this story. Very cool!

I highly highly highly highly recommend this book series to anyone who might be interested. He writes well I think. The first book in the series, Monster Hunter International, has these as the first line.

"On one otherwise normal Tuesday evening I had the chance to live the American dream. I was able to throw my incompetent jackass of a boss from a fourteenth-story window."

Larry Correia is one of my favorite authors and I wait on edge for his new books to come out. On average I devour his books within a few days of starting them.

Synopsis of the Monster Hunter series.

Monster Hunter International - I really loved this book. It introduces the world, the main characters and the monsters and rules of the world. Love it. Just love it.

Monster Hunter Vendetta - Also good. As a sequel its quite good. There are some sections that feel like a ton of action, maybe too much for me, but I couldn't put this down. There's a giant showdown and ancient evil and all that stuff and more layers to the world and characters. Enjoyable.

Monster Hunter Alpha - not my favorite book and a bit of a disappointment. It still had a lot of kickass monster hunting scenes and an interesting divergent shift in point of view and perspective, but I wanted more of a connection to books 1 & 2. This one was more of a side tangent adventure, which adds color to the world, but I prefer the story lines and characters in books 1 & 2. 

Monster Hunter Legion - good! Continues back more from books 1 & 2, told from Owen's point of view. I also love how it does a good job of building the world, teasing and continuing the storyline from the first 2 books. It peppers in some story from the Alpha book, but overall continues from Owen's point of view.

Tanya: Princess of the Elves - this looks like a side story set during Monster Hunters International that is available online. I only learned about this recently but will probably have to read it sometime. I recommend you read it AFTER the elves have been introduced in the books, as I think it might make more sense.

I hope Larry Correia continues to write, build and expand these world, stories and characters. I love your books. Thank you Larry Correia!

Also just found out he has some KickStarter campaign for Monster Hunter International Challenge Coins. Woooo! Might have to support that! Also if you're interested he has a CafePress Apparel & Merchandise store of stuff from this universe.
