Neccabashar
Poor Neccabashar. As the youngest demon on the Evil Council, he’s tried everything to gain the respect of the elder demons and still they ignore and slight him at every opportunity. But Neccabashar has a plan, a scheme that will finally garner him the respect he so craves: he will bring evil and chaos to the last pure bastion of good, the Happy Kingdom.

Oooff... Well, if you are 10 years old, you may enjoy this book. If you are not a small child, you will not enjoy this book. It's simplistic. The plot is too simple and boring. The characters are simple and boring. The pace of the book is boring. I was told this book was "Terry Pratchett-esque", but it's more like a sad, sad attempt to write comedy that you don't understand.
I will say, however, that the audiobook with Hannibal Hills was read hilariously! His voices are so funny! Too bad the material was so bad.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving this review. All opinions are my own.
The book is about Neccabashar, a demon, who hatches a plan to take over Happy Kingdom. He is sure that the other demons will notice and this will garner him the praise he seeks. So, he goes to Happy Kingdom and begins his work, by whispering doubts into the ears of the villagers which cause them to make different decisions or wonder about their neighbor. [I don't want to divulge the exact plan or how he goes about accomplishing his goal.] Neccabashar also has a mother, who worries about him and cooks him dinner. This is a delightful tale of good v. evil and what really makes for a happy life. The story can be enojyed by kids [probably from 8 or 9 years old] through adults. There are plenty of nice lessons to be learned and some of the characters in the book are children, to whom the younger listeners could relate. There is plenty of humor in the story and some real comical moments.
I listened to this book -- the narrator, Hannabal Hills, was fantastic! His voice reminded me to Tom Ellis from Lucifer. Just a perfect fit. He did voices for the different characters and his narration was very smooth and very pleasant on the ears. Just like Neccabashar, he can cast a spell.

Hello of a Fairytale
What's a bored demon to do, especially if he is the youngest member of the Demon Council. Create havoc in the World above of course. Poor Neccabashar, playing this game of one-upmanship. Can be devilishly serious. Pick a Happy Kingdom , a seer to find the perfect pupil of evil to cause the evil to overcome good, and gain influence in Hello. Meet Domina, a head-strong child bent on seeing the world through her cruel eyes. A young knight Sir William who lacks ambition,plus his tutor knight Sir Gawky, and squire Roley, struggling to make a knight from backlash young man. Mix the ingredients and serve with smirks, chuckles, and snorts. A truly funny tale of disasters saving the kingdom and giving each participant their fair ending. This was a free book and I have no connection to anyone involved. I enjoyed reading this book and could see it on stage off Broadway!

This was a fun book to read. I wouldn't call it a funny book but there is humor in it. The story is very entertaining and I think could be enjoyed by people of many ages. I would recommend it to anyone who wants something sort of lighthearted and fun.

I didn't really know what to expect when a started this audio book, but let me start by saying that I was very pleasantly surprised. It is quite a lively story and there is a lot going on. Basically, it is a story of good battling evil, but with twists and turns throughout the story. This tale is filled with a vast array of interesting and memorable characters. I am particularly fond of the demon, Neccabashar, who ends up being a lot nicer than any demon should be.
I listened to the audio version, and I really loved the narrator, Hannibal Hills. He truly brought the characters to life. From the demon's voices to the innocent little girl voices and everything in-between, he was just fantastic. I'm not sure I would have enjoyed the story as much, had it not been for his narration.

Story: 4 / Narration: 5
Book Summary:
Neccabashar is a demon who works on the Evil Council. He's got the lowest position on the counsel, and they never listen to his suggestions or advice or take him at all seriously. His assigned dominion of Happy Kingdom is suffering...with goodness. He has been on the hot seat for his region not producing enough evil minions and he's sick of it. To rectify this and prove he is worthy of his position, he goes to Happy Kingdom in search of the most evil person in the land to use as his pawn in spreading evil's bad word. His source of pure evil ends up being a little girl, of course. Together, they start pitting the citizens against one another, causing terrible mischief, and working to get the Knight of the Realm replaced with one they can use as a puppet. Not everything goes as plan. At all.

This book is funny. I haven't read anything by Vee James previously, so I went in knowing nothing about the author's style. It's interesting enough to keep you reading and the characters are developed enough to become vested. The antics are silly, fun and rated PG-13. Had the story been left open for more, I would more than likely listen to the next. However, Vee James wrapped his story up nice and neat at the end, unlike so many books out there that seems rushed just to end or we are left with thinking it should be more. Thankfully this was all wrapped up as a stand alone book should be.
The narrator for the audiobook Hannibal Hills was fantastic. I love his voice. FULL STOP. His character voicing was great and I knew who was who, which is sometimes hard if you don't have a quality narrator. Hannibal Hills is quality. I'll search out other books he has narrated. If you listen to audiobooks, you KNOW that a bad narrator can ruin the whole book. Not Hannibal Hills! He definitely helps this book earn its 4 stars.
The only con I have about this book is that is feels like it was penned by a YA writer who is trying to break out of YA and into mainstream Comedic Supernatural for a broader audience, but fails to quite get out of YA. It's not bad, but this borderlines YA and nonYA and I think a distinction should be made.
TLDR: Funny story. Great narrator. More YA than Comedic Supernatural, but as long as you know that and like YA/Supernatural Comedies, you should have no problem. I recommend it for people who DO like YA & Supernatural Comedies.
