About this listen

A city under siege. One halfling knight. An Epik Quest.

Epik thought he’d found what he was looking for: magic, adventure, and friendship. He’d saved an entire kingdom. But at what cost?

Without his mentor, learning magic seems an impossible feat. And becoming a knight is proving...different than he ever expected.

A new enemy rises, and the city is under attack once more. The ten years of peace and prosperity promised to Dune All-En was over almost before it began.

Epik must heed the call.

He and his band of misfit souls - Todder, Myra, and Gerdy - embark on a quest that takes them across the realm. But what they find in King's Way shakes them to the core. A kingdom supposed to be seething with dark magic seems oddly empty of any magic at all.

Featuring magical jousts to rival both March Madness and WrestleMania III, grandiose feasts that many in Westeros would envy, and a cast of quirky characters that stick with you well after listening, Knowing Is Halfling the Battle is a rip-roaring romp through the Arthurian realm of knighthood. Join Epik in his second adventure.

Halfling hero facing new challenges

I hadn't actually read the first book in this series so was a little unsure to start with, but I had been advised that I would quickly pick things up anyway if I did start with this one and that seemed to be the case for me, so people should not be dissuaded from this book even if they haven't read/listened to the first one.

This book is sort of a new start for the hero Epik, a halfling, as he is currently training to be a knight, but events quickly force him and his friends to embark on a new quest to deal with the ruler of a kingdom controlled by dark magic. This fairly serious setting is offset by the tone and style of the writing, which tends towards being lighter, less serious and more humorous. I don't think I would actually call the writing funny, but it was enjoyable and the humour definitely tended to enhance rather than detract from the story.

I was not familiar with this narrator, but found her performance to be a pleasant one with sufficient variation to ensure the main characters all had distinctive enough voices, which is crucial for the narration to enhance a story like it did with this one.

Overall, an enjoyable listen and I will definitely look out for new books in the series and probably go back and get the first one too.
