dmcke013's review against another edition
2.0
Third entry in [a:L.G. Estrella|7406246|L.G. Estrella|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]'s so-called 'Unconventional Heroes' series and, if you'd read the previous (recommended to do so prior to this) you'll know pretty much what to expect.
As if the title itself didn't give it away.
In fairness, the title should really be 'Two Necromancers, a Bureaucrat, an Elf, a Dragon, a Vampire and a Pirate fleet' to do so, but that would be a little bit unwieldy ...
Anyway, Timmy the Necromancer's 'Suicide Squad' alike entourage continues to grow in this, most notably with the addition of Spot the (baby) Dragon and with Amanda, the (ancient) vampire of the title, who has strong links to the past of some of those Timmy is working for.
As before, the result magical mayhem is an enjoyable enough read in it's own right, but unlikely to set the world on fire (we have the pyromaniac elf Avraniel for that ...)

Enjoyed the publishers pack so much I just rolled straight into the third book and it did not disappoint. Narrator is on point and makes for a very fun and enjoyable listen, story is even better than the first two books. Loving that the cast is growing and each of the characters are so unique. Amazed at the developing world building that takes place throughout these stories.
