Story4.5 out of 5 stars 330
Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbors and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old - when in actuality, he’s twenty-one centuries old. Not to mention: He draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields an even sharper magical sword known as Fragarach, the Answerer. Unfortunately, a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and he’s hounded Atticus for centuries....

Archdruid Owen Kennedy and his sloth, Slomo, are off to see the world when Coriander, Herald Extraordinary of the First among the Fae, interrupts to ask for the tiny favor of solving a supernatural murder. That sets the pair off on a trail that leads from Granada, Spain, to London, England and then to Austin, Texas. Owen and Slomo will have to outwit an Irish goddess of wisdom, some nasty spriggans, and streak across the Kew Gardens to find the culprit. They're going to see the world after all - just not the way they thought.

Publisher's Summary
In an irreverent series in the tradition of Monty Python, the best-selling authors of the Iron Druid Chronicles and Star Wars: Phasma reinvent fantasy, fairy tales, and floridly written feast scenes.
"Ranks among the best of Christopher Moore and Terry Pratchett." (Chuck Wendig)
"When you put two authors of this high caliber together, expect fireworks. Or at least laughs. What a hoot!" (Terry Brooks)
Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, a hero, the Chosen One, was born...and so begins every fairy tale ever told. This is not that fairy tale. There is a Chosen One, but he is unlike any One who has ever been Chosened. And there is a faraway kingdom, but you have never been to a magical world quite like the land of Pell. There, a plucky farm boy will find more than he's bargained for on his quest to awaken the sleeping princess in her cursed tower.
First there's the Dark Lord, who wishes for the boy's untimely death...and also very fine cheese. Then there's a bard without a song in her heart but with a very adorable and fuzzy tail, an assassin who fears not the night but is terrified of chickens, and a mighty fighter more frightened of her sword than of her chain-mail bikini. This journey will lead to sinister umlauts, a trash-talking goat, the Dread Necromancer Steve, and a strange and wondrous journey to the most peculiar "happily ever after" that ever once-upon-a-timed.
Praise for Kill the Farm Boy:
"A rollicking fantasy adventure that upends numerous genre tropes in audacious style...a laugh-out-loud-funny fusion of Monty Python-esque humor and whimsy a la Terry Pratchett's Discworld." (Kirkus Reviews)
“Dawson and Hearne’s reimagining of a traditional fairy tale is reminiscent of William Goldman’s The Princess Bride and William Steig’s Shrek! Irreverent, funny, and full of entertaining wordplay, this will keep readers guessing until the end.” (Library Journal)
"Will have you laughing out loud until strangers begin to look at you oddly." (SyFy)
"A smart comedy...nuanced, complicated, and human." (Tordotcom)
"[Delilah Dawson and Kevin Hearne] make fun of the typical 'white male power fantasies,' and in that, they succeed, with their heroes all characters of color and/or falling somewhere under the LGBTQ umbrella." (Publishers Weekly)
What the critics say
"When you put two authors of this high caliber together, expect fireworks. Or at least laughs. What a hoot!" (New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks)
"Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne have rigged up an absurdly funny fantasy riff on the Chosen One story, and it had me laughing from literally the name of the first chapter .Kill the Farm Boy ranks among the best of Christopher Moore and Terry Pratchett and is not to be missed." (Chuck Wendig)

Not as good as it could have been
The voice acting was very good but I found the humor to be crude and childish most of the time.
I also found the parody very over the top and I think that cutting back would have made it better. Though if crude humor and over the top parodies are your thing you will more than likely enjoy this book.

Luke Daniel's is a genius!
A clever story which made me groan or chuckle out loud with each pun delivered. Luke Daniel's narration was unbelievable. He is amazing and did the story proud. I enjoyed every minute.

if ever a book was written to be read out loud...
This book is sooo wonderfully written! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it myself, BUT!!!
I am in love with the audio version!
Luke brings the story to life! he does an amazing reading, the characters so recognizable by his voicing.
And what a story!
it's so awesome to get that little flash of recognition to referrals, to jokes, to sooo many things.
I was fortunate to be listening when stuck in traffic, laughing, chortling, snickering, such that I was disappointed when I had to start driving again!
heartily recommended! off to source ham jam and the next in series is ready to go!

hilarious
If you are looking for something similar to the Iron Druid Chronicles, this isn't it. Most negative reviews seem to be from people who were expecting something similar to IDC. Instead this is a satirical take on tropes in epics. It's hilarious and Luke as always give an incredible performance.

a bit too long, Narrator slightly too comical
lots of puns (mostly the same ones). some good parts but the story goes on for much longer then it needs too. the narrator is talented but plays it a bit too clownish. worth a listen on your free credit

Sad to say, the storytelling really got my goat!
It started strong, had an interesting twist, but quickly devolved into juvenile jokes and unresolved plotlines
