About this listen

Secrets of Kung Fulio is the first kung fu adventure in the series that inspired the video game.

Raziel Tenza and Rin Torra are likely the worst Moonken to ever train at the monastery on the mystical shores of Crescent Isle. But when an insurgent gang of miscreants (The Red Cobras) threaten to run them out of town, they decide to team up and stand their ground. The only problem is...they stink at kung fu! With no fighting ability whatsoever, (but a whole lot of gusto!) they embark on an epic martial arts adventure in search of a shortcut to the ultimate badass Kung Fulio power of their ancestors. In their desperate struggle, they accidentally unleash raging Darksprite demons, get wrapped up in a legendary mystical heist, discover secret powerful artifacts that will shape their destiny, and determine the fate of the Monks of Twilight.

This book is part one of a series of kung fu action-adventure fantasy novels from famed video game creator, artist, and producer Trent Kaniuga. Also see Return of the Ancients (Book 2) and the World of Twilight Monk (Art Book) for more kung fu action!

In short... this audiobook was awesome!! I really felt it for all the characters. They're compelling, quirky, well defined, and characterized. The setting is beautiful and intriguing, which made me want to lose myself exploring it and meeting more of its people, and the plot started of great! I really want to hear more. It's awesome the way I actually felt that I cared to know what happens next.

As a personal opinion, I would really like to hear a bit more variation in the voices of the characters in the books to come and, while this seemed to be fixed by the end, I felt that the narration at times was really fast paced.

That being said, I can't wish the best for this series enough, and I really want to see it succeed just as much as I want Rin and Raz to succeed! Will be eagerly waiting for the rest of the story!

A strong start to a compelling setting

This was a good listen. The characters feel human and relatable, with interesting perspectives and quirks. It’s hard not to find people in your own past who remind you of Ra, Rin, and Nora. The world building is subtle and fun, no large info dumps, and I’m excited for the next one.

A Wonderful start to the Saga

This book is a great start to the world that is setup.
I was legitimately left wanting more where this book left off. Like playing a game demo that is just getting good and comes to a too soon end. This story has tons of world building, and lore it’s hard to imagine someone not getting exited for the next release.

Killer start to a story, looking forward to more!

I put my headphones on with a smile, because I knew that when I pressed “Play” I would be transported to the far away world of Twilight Monk.
A fantasy world full of Moonkins, Deamon Toads and Kung Fu Masters all oozing with personality and character. I like that it doesnt take itself *too* seriously, and allows for humor to offset some of the tension. I also really loved the dialogue between characters, it was fun to hear the different accents and listen to the voice acting- what a treat! You can tell they had fun working on this, and it definitely shows.

A whimsical character driven adventure, full of charm and suspense.
