Publisher's Summary

Featuring A Prelude to War, an Iron Druid novella

A Prelude to War by Kevin Hearne: After an old friend is murdered in retaliation for his mercenary strikes against the oldest vampires in the world, Atticus O'Sullivan must solicit the aid of another old friend in Ethiopia if he's going to have a chance of finishing a war he never wanted. Meanwhile Granuaile MacTiernan starts a private war of her own against Loki, the lord of lies, and if it brings Ragnarok early - so be it.

Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys by Delilah S. Dawson: The number-one rule of the circus? Don't kill your volunteers, even accidentally. That's how young magician Criminy Stain ends up on the run in a forest, where he meets a beautiful woman holding a bucket of blood. But is Merissa the answer to his prayers - or the orchestrator of his ruin?

Interlude: Swallow by Chuck Wendig: Miriam Black is back. Miriam is tired of her curse and finally believes she knows how to be rid of her ability to see when and how other people die. She follows a lead to the mountains of Colorado, where she believes she sees signs of a serial killer she thought she already killed. (Set between The Cormorant and Thunderbird.)

Fun, Cheesy Anthology

A collection of three very different stories connected by the power of magical cheese (never underestimate the power of dairy), this was an unexpected anthology made for readers who want to have fun. While it does take place in the middle of three different series, you definitely don't need to read them to understand what's going on (but beware of spoilers).

"A Prelude to War" has all the hijinks and fun you'd expect from The Iron Druid Chronicles. It is a great time and I loved seeing Atticus and Granuaile get into trouble against old and new foes. My only complaint was the voice of Oberon. Now I want to be clear: I think Luke Daniels is incredibly talented. He has a great vocal range and is not afraid to go all-in with this narration. He is definitely a voice actor I would like to hear more from. However, his Oberon voice reminded me of Scooby-Doo if Scooby were a gremlin. Definitely distinctive, and not something I want to listen to for longer than an hour. I usually don't like to rag on genuinely talented people or on anything unrelated to the story, but this tidbit really bigged me.

"Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys" was the newest author and story, and I enjoyed it. While there were a couple of plot holes, I found the characters and the twist at the end to be enjoyable.

"Interlude: Swallow," was probably my favorite. I'm a huge fan of the Miriam Black series, so seeing her face genuine danger and grow again as a character was fantastic.

All in all, I think this is a fun collection and is worth checking out on Audible, where it's free. Yes, I do recommend you enjoy with cheese.

First 2 good, last one, I couldn't finish

I bought this for IDC, great as always. I liked the second one.
The third one irritated me to the point, I couldn't finish it.
Life is too short to do something unpleasant if one can avoid it. I wish I could rate them individually.
The last one would get a 1.
