About this listen
When a monster brutally kills her parents, Ara is saved by two beast hunters. Becoming their apprentice, she discovers serums, secret bestiary knowledge, and remarkable abilities—all to save unsuspecting souls from the same fate her parents suffered. But, terrifying creatures lurk everywhere and Ara must master the art of beast hunting quickly if she is to uncover the elusive beast plaguing the village of Cornstead.

Very creative monsters and a interesting cast of protaganists.
It did get a bit bloody at times.
Interesting people against creative monsters

Next best aspect is the story, as well as how good it is in expanding on the world in which it takes place.
My only critique is that the wording in the book occasionally goes from "I am totally immersed in this book" to a somewhat clumsy exposition dump in which the main character explains (rather than shows) how she feels or which event in her past she is reminded of. These moments sadly dragged me straight out of the plot, and I had to patiently wait for the good and convincing writing to take over again.
4 of 5 stars :) I eagerly await the next book in the series to experience the gang's next adventure and to see the evolution in Ara, Kendrick and Topper's characters.
Wonderful characters and storyline

On the flip side, the dialogue is often rough, forced, and ill-fitting, the characters don't feel fleshed out (with a few exceptions), and combining these two aspects makes for a lot of melodramatic situations that stunted the progression. While I didn't love the character work, I enjoyed what they were doing as surrogates to hear about their exploits and travels. I think if the dialogue and character development improved, this would be a great story and would be admirably close to The Witcher in terms of quality storytelling.
Fun, simpler adventure like The Witcher
