About this listen
The Magnificent Seven meets The Wind in the Willows in this action-packed fantasy adventure from Daniel Polansky, The Builders.
A missing eye.
A broken wing.
A stolen country.
The last job didn't end well.
Years go by, and scars fade, but memories only fester. For the animals of the Captain's company, survival has meant keeping a low profile, building a new life, and trying to forget the war they lost. But now the Captain's whiskers are twitching at the idea of evening the score.
PRAISE FOR THE BUILDERS
"A living, breathing world of vivid, winsome characters hellbent on their blaze of glory and as unforgiving as a runaway train carrying all your friends over a cliff. I haven't cared about animals this much since Watership Down." — Delilah S. Dawson, author of Hit and Wicked as They Come
"Nobody does dark like Polansky. The Builders is Redwall meets Unforgiven, combining the endearing wit of Disney's Robin Hood with all the grit and violence of a spaghetti western." — Myke Cole, author of the Shadow Ops series
wish there was more of it or more stories set in this world to read.
Intriguing but too short!

Very dark whimsy

I expected to like this book as I am interested in Animals and I enjoyed the wind in the willows as a child however did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did. I liked the fact that the characters were all animals and the author introduced us to each character and the animal they were.
The basic idea of the story is the captain and his company have been keeping a low profile after losing the war five years a go however the captain has decided he now wants his revenge so he decides to get his company back together in order to get the kingdom back.
Was this the best book I've ever read no, however it was very different and having Animals doing things such as smoking and drinking like humans would do was very funny.
The thing I really enjoyed about the book was the audible narration, Corey Gagne is a reader I have never come across before however I loved the way he gave each character their own voice and he read the book with a lot of expression.
I would recommend this book to readers who like something a bit different and wind in the willows fans who want something similar however with an adult theme.
Something different however enjoyable.
