About this listen
Part lawman, part tracker and part magician, the Wardens are monster-hunters - tasked with protecting the people from the various, nightmarish creatures that have invaded the world of men. However, despite being descended from a long line of Wardens, 16-year-old Errol Magnus believes it to be the absolute worst job on the planet: How could a single occupation simultaneously be the most boring, abominably stupid, and extraordinarily dangerous profession imaginable?
But when his older brother Tom - the current Warden for their region - goes missing, Errol has no choice but to enter the Badlands, where monsters abide in mind-boggling numbers, to find him. During his search, Errol crosses paths with - and finds himself stalked by - the legendary Wendigo, a monster with preternatural strength and speed, as well as enhanced senses of sight, smell and hearing...and an insatiable hunger for human flesh.
Now Errol must do the impossible and not only escape from the monster (something no one has ever done before), but also avoid the unearthly legacy it leaves on all its victims - a terrifying curse known as Wendigo Fever.

It's very short

This is a short novel that begins the Warden series. A Warden is somebody who takes care of their local town and protects it from creatures, like the titular wendigo. Errol, the apprentice to his brother who is the town Warden, is thrust into the role that he doesn't want after his brother goes missing. Accompanied by a girl from the town, they set off to discover what happened to his brother.
I liked the premise of this book. I love the idea of there being Wardens. And I thought that the interaction between the two main characters was pretty good. But the book itself just didn't grab me.

This is a first person telling. The story is interesting and at times amusing. The young man must develop determination and understanding to survive.
The narrator did a very good job with this material.

The wardens are supernatural protectors, defending the people in a region from the threat of strange and dangerous creatures, it is a job that the main protagonist, Errol, finds both boring and dangerous at the same time. He is forced to take on the role when his older brother goes missing and despite his reluctance, he grows into the role as the book progresses.
The narrator gave a good performance overall with a suitably dramatic delivery and sufficiently distinctive tones for the various characters to nicely enhance the book.
Overall, this was an enjoyable listen, but I'd have liked to have had a bit more world-building in there with it being book one of a series.

Reluctant Supernatural Sheriff

Wardens protect the world from what we're once only thought of as mythical creatures and monsters but who protect the wardens. This is the question being faced by 16 year old Errol when his older brother goes missing. Not able to sit and do nothing when the villagers demand he steps up and takes his brothers place. It is not long before he is having to travel to the one place he never really wanted to go, the bad lands where the worst of the worst monsters live. Relying on just few a weapons, some magic and the knowledge past down to him from his brother he must out wit a very dangerous foe to stay alive.
I really enjoyed this book and started book two as soon as it was finished.
The narrator is just a pleasure to listen too.
Scary world makes for Great story

Any additional comments?
When the walls came down, all types of creatures previously thought mythical streamed through to earth. To protect the surviving population of humans, a warden system was developed, screening the surviving habitations from the monsters in the badlands. The wardens lived at the very edge of civilisation, were trained in weaponry and some magic, knew the habits of the creatures that might be encountered - and usually died young.Errol's father had been a warden. He died when Errol was nine, when brother Tom took over from his dad. Now Errol, at 16, had been trained to be Tom's deputy. But he doesn't want to be a warden, thinking it was "stupid, boring and dangerous." But when Tom suddenly disappears, Errol has no choice . He goes into the badlands to look for his brother. What he finds is a Wendigo.
A simply written, easy on the ear, enjoyable adventure story filled with imaginative scary creatures, a well developed main protagonist and some unusually exciting battles. The excellent narration by Mikael Naramore helps bring it all to life, his careful, well paced reading of the text and clearly defined voices of the characters assisting in the build of tension inherent in the text. This is a story full of underlying humour and, although there is violence and gore at times, is very suitable for young people as well as being enjoyable for the older readers. An original and exciting romp through monster lands.

An entertaining an energetic short listen. The narrator really brought the characters to life in this short story.
I thought the story was well written and was action packed in such a short audiobook. It was clear that Errol did not want to follow in the family business and become a Warden but as soon as became apparent that his brother Tom has gone missing, he headed out to find him along with Gale.
Errol's quick thinking saved his and Gale's life out in the Badlands along with his knowledge and training, all thanks to his brother Tom. He still has not found Tom, but Errol will not give up looking as he believes Tom would not give up on him.
Entertaining and Energetic.
