Darkmouth #2: Worlds Explode

By: Shane Hegarty

Narrated by: Andrew Scott

Finn’s monster-hunting adventures continue in Darkmouth #2: Worlds Explode, the second book of the tween fantasy series that Kirkus Reviews called “Ghostbusters meets Percy Jackson as written by Terry Pratchett.”

Legend Hunter–in-training Finn may be clumsy and uncoordinated, but nothing will stop him from saving his dad, who is trapped in a land full of the monsters that have plagued Darkmouth for centuries. Now Finn will have to journey between worlds to rescue him from the Infested Side.

The action-packed sequel to Darkmouth #1: The Legends Begin is a hilarious adventure filled with beasts of the winged, fanged, and hungry variety—perfect for fans of How to Train Your Dragon and The Hero’s Guide to Saving Your Kingdom.

Intelligent adventure story, unparalleled reader

My daughter and I started listening to this together and were quickly enchanted. I’ll admit that I am picky about metaphysics and I’m no fan of a certain magical mega-franchise. The nuance of this series is what sets it apart from many others. You will want to revisit this complex, intriguing world over and over.

Andrew Scott is an incredible narrator. It’s lovely to hear an Irish novel read by someone with a native Irish accent.
