Robert E. Howard's Conan the Cimmerian Barbarian: The Complete Weird Tales Omnibus by Robert E. Howard, Finn J.D. John
3.0
A really great rendition of the best of Rob Howard's Conan stories, the audiobook also included a Solomon Kane tale, as well as the original Kull story, which would later be reconstructed into what would become the Conan mythos.
I'm a fan of Conan, the OG of sword and sorcery, and enjoyed every one of these stories. I am also a previous fan of the narrator, Finn J.D. John's, other work including the HP Lovecraft Omnibus audiobooks. In the Lovecraft ones, John did a great job at the narration, but in this case I felt it fall a tiny bit shorter. I wish there'd been even more of a distinction of inflection between Conan and he other characters, and since most supporting characters blend together too easily anyway, without that added inflection they were a little hard to follow or invest in.
But the stories are great, especially if you've ever wanted to see what originally carved the sword and sorcery path.
