Most authors usually only work on one series at a time. Larry Correia is working on two separate series and both series are worth reading. Beside his Monster Hunter series, Correia also has the Grimnoir Chronicles, the latest is Warbound. This latest book finishes off the trilogy wonderfully, ending the story while leaving the readers wanting to see more of these characters. Let’s check it out.

Monster Hunter Legion by Larry Correia
Larry Correia is one of my favorite writers currently. He has two distinct and interesting series going on at the same time and manages to not only tell new and interesting stories within each series, but also fleshes out the characters and mythology of each series at the same time. With his latest book in the Monster Hunter series, Monster Hunter Legion, Correia expands the Monster Hunter universe by showing us several additional hunters from across the world as well as expand the role of the government overseers with another agency. What’s amazing is that Correia does this without confusing the reader or losing track of the plot and the characters. Let’s see what happened.
Spellbound by Larry Correia
Larry Correia has created an interesting niche for himself in genre fiction. He has mashed up fantasy (magic or supernatural creatures) and a lot of really, really big weapons. He continues this with the latest installment of the Grimnoir Chronicles: Spellbound. The first book in the series, Hard Magic, introduced us to our magical supergroup set in the Depression. This book continues from the first book and, not only introduces a new bad guy and danger, but also sets things up nicely for a third book in the series (tentatively titled Warbound according to the author’s blog). So let’s see what happened after Jake, Faye and the rest of our Grimnoirs saved the world at the end of book one.
Monster Hunter Alpha by Larry Correia
In the first two books of the Monster Hunter series, Larry Correia basically wrote gun porn with monsters. There were characters, but they loved their guns and it shone through. In the third book, Monster Hunter Alpha, Correia decided to shake things up a little bit. Moving from Owen Pitt to Earl Harbinger and introducing a ton of new characters (many of whom are killed during the monster melee) was an interesting way to change things and it did work, but only part of the time.So, let’s see what’s up with Earl.
Monster Hunter Vendetta by Larry Correia
After saving the world from the Old One, Owen Pitt is back in Monster Hunter Vendetta and he has more demons mad at him. And this time, it isn’t even his fault. Larry Correia basically writes supernatural gun books with characters who are larger than life (Owen is really huge) and enjoy nothing more than firing large caliber weapons at things that should be dead. If that’s not your type of book, then don’t even bother picking it up. But if that appeals to you, then let’s find out who’s pissed at Owen this time.
Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia
After enjoying Larry Correia’s Hard Magic (my review), I decided to give his Monster Hunter series a chance. Even though I’m not a fan of the recent slate of supernatural books, Correia did a great job with Monster Hunter International, the first book in the series. The one thing that I should mention is that if you don’t like guns or weapons, then this isn’t the book for you. Everyone is packing weapons and loves weapons and occasionally goes into great detail about the weapons they have or are making, repairing, cleaning or shooting. If you thought that REAMDE had a lot of detail about guns, then you’re not going to enjoy this one. So, let’s go hunt some monsters.
