subparcupcake's review against another edition

I'm a one book at a time kind of girl. Once I start a book I finish it, there's no switching back and forth for me. So you can imagine my distress when, in the middle of reading another perfectly good book, I heard from a friend that there was an eARC for sale of the newest Monster Hunter book.
Crap.
I needed to read it. Had to read it... Now now now! But what about the other book? I can't just abandon it... I should probably finish it first, and then move on to Monster Hunter Legion once my plate is clean...
No. No! Not happening. I absolutely could not wait one more moment, I needed me some MHL like I needed air. So I didn't just walk.. I ran to my purse to get my debit card so that I could snatch up a copy as quickly as humanly possibly, and then immediately fell onto the couch and began reading.
That, my friends, is an amazing feeling. To have a series that hooks you that much, that it makes you want to drop every other book when a new entry in the series comes out... That's awesome right there. There aren't many series that have that effect on me, so I treasure each and every one.
The weird thing.. I still can't believe that this series makes me feel that way. I mean come on. Monster Hunters? Gun porn? So not my thing. But the characters.. The plot.. The action and the humor, it all adds up to perfection for me. It's the kind of book that I don't want to put down, I just want to keep reading and savoring it forever and ever.
So Monster Hunter Legion. How was it? Pretty awesome. It was a definite step up from Alpha, which I found kind of tough to get into. Legion takes us back to Owen and crew, where as Alpha concentrated on just Earl off on his own. For me, that's where Alpha suffered.. No Owen? No Julie? No Holly or Trip? It was still good (I mean come on, it was set entirely in Michigan, score) but it lacked the flavor all of those other characters bring to the story. But like I said, there was no such problem with Legion. It felt just like International and Vendetta, but without seeming repetitive or redundant. Why not five stars? I guess just because International is still my favorite, and compared to that, this one just couldn't beat it for the top spot.
Now I'm just left with one problem.. I'm done with Legion and it hasn't even been released yet. Damn it! It's going to be a long wait for the next book in the series... But I have a feeling it'll be worth it. Highly recommended!

Another very enjoyable entry in this series. There are a nice mix of obstacles from different sources as well as some nice mysteries the heroes have to work through all while going through some very intense action.

Even better than the last
The story and the characters keep growing in in expected but exciting ways, I cannot wait to read the next book in the series

I love this series! I'm so sad I'm finally caught up on what what is already out.
Another great installment for MHI ... I can hardly wait to get my hands on the next book.

Re-listen 2018 ... So much happens in this book. It's been so much fun listening to this series again! I love the introduction of other hunter groups ... at a Monster Hunter Conference of all things :) that just happens to coincide with a gun show ... Milo is in hog heaven! Owen, however, gets stick in management hell by having to attend seminars & focus groups. The buffet at the beginning is absoultely great! Things go from great to WTF in short order though ... and it's a heck of a ride.
