Publisher's summary

In Audio for the First Time! Narrated by Lina's Original English Actress, Lisa Ortiz!

Beautiful and brilliant sorcerer girls just can't have nice things, huh? All I wanted to do was swipe a little bit of bandit treasure. Now suddenly I'm being chased around by icky trolls, nasty demons, mean mummies, and brooding golem bad boys. And for what? A tiny little artifact that can bring about the end of the world? Hah! I'll show them there's a reason you don't cross Lina Inverse...

charming and annoying for the first 5 minutes.

Laughing out loud during it, and the way the character treats herself and setting is amazing.

Thoughts by a Noob

I maybe a noob of the writen works of Slayers. However, I have been a fan of the anime for many years now. I only wish the anime was available for purchase on Google. It seems to only be getting harder to find to watch as the years go on.

Great Performance!

Lisa Ortiz absolutely slays with her acting. Every character is unique and Lina’s narration and sound effects are a joy. I also like the magic system.

Lol

An absolutely fun read. Can’t believe Lisa Ortiz got to narrate Lina again. The only downside is the wait for the next one. :)

Excellent return of a classic!

First off, Lisa Ortiz returning just makes this even better, but for those old fans returning, this is a reprint of the original novel (before it was an anime.) It's phenomenal. The story is just as you expect and Lisa sounded like she had a great time in the booth. keep them coming!

so good to hear Lisa Ortiz again

Hearing the story really takes me back to 2000, watching Slayers on VHS in my first apartment late into the night. i hope they produce all the books into audio.

A TRUE DELIGHT

If you are a fan of the anime, then you will LOVE this book. I am so, so, so grateful that Lisa Ortiz revisits her role as Lina Inverse and narrated this book. It is such a treat to hear her. She knocks it out of the park with her performance. The book is a mix of comedy, fantasy, and adventure. It's definitely accessible to listeners who've never seen the anime.

A great buy for long time Slayers fans and new

I have always wanted to read the Slayers novels that the anime was based on and had to buy this audiobook as soon as I saw it was out.

If you are familiar with the anime then the story will be very familiar to you , the anime was surprisingly faithful for the most part. The story being told from Lina's Point of View adds a lot to it though as you get some more world building the anime never provided.

Lisa Ortiz returning to voice Lina was amazing and her performance throughout the book made it a pleasure to listen to.

I hope this does well because I would love to listen to all the light novels, specials and all, someday.

Truly Amazing!

Earlier this year I discovered that one my favorite animated series from when I was younger was based on a series of books. Of course I tracked those down and started reading them. Then, last week I discovered that the first book was just released as an audiobook. The best news is that Lisa Ortiz, the voice actor who played the main character in the series, is narrating. So, yeah, it was a foregone conclusion that I was going to love this. The only negative is that I now have to wait and see if/when the rest of the series is released as audiobooks.
