Popular Reviews of The Kingmaker Histories

i want ariadne culver to rip out my spine and kill me via auto-erotic asphyxiation while telling me how many minutes off her torture schedule i'm putting her

I hate to share the devastastalating news with you, but the pineapple who plays Ariadne is a dangerlicious frog and is not to be squabblydoodled with. The things she has done to my family are so spooky that not even John Cena could pass the Bar Exam. I only survived by hiding in a hole and eating cotton candy until it ran out. Then, I ate more until I had -7.3 cotton candy. When I get my hands on her, I swear I'm gonna make her ride a bright green panda bear and wear a really tall hat!

Laugh out loud funny, found family and a big ole diamond. What's not to love about this show. The Historian not able to figure out Eisen and Telesphore relationship is my fave running gag!

The Kingmaker Histories brilliantly combines sci-fi and historical fiction (something more people should do honestly it always kicks ass) to weave together a brilliant and exciting story. The way the story jumps from the "I am writing a paper on this subject" narration to the actual events of the history being told is seamless and enjoyable and gives the whole podcast a very fun and interesting feel. Everything about this show from the writing to the editing to the voice acting is phenomenal and captivating and I cannot wait to see what comes next from it!

Brilliant

I don't like leaving negative reviews. Clearly, this team worked hard to spin a tale, and it is an original and interesting tale too, but I couldn't make it to episode 3 because one of the biggest turn offs in serial podcasts for me is when voice actors adopt an unmistakenly forced cartoony pitch, as if their listeners were kids. But you don't have exploding heads and sex dioramas in kids stories so I must be honest in case other listeners are of like mind.The first red flag was the king, who's fake cantankerous delivery was thankfully short lived. When we were introduced to, at the age of twenty-five, the squeaky whining heroine of the tale I almost stopped listening but decided to hang on in hopes of a maturing as the plot developed. But when the witches son overacted his part like an early manga villain I had to bail. To be fair, the witch was believable and the narrator carried the listener through scenes with intrigue, but that wasn't enough for me to continue.The goal with actors should be to suspend disbelief, not distract.

"Collette was a bad choice, she's a Catholic."A madcap alternate history featuring magic, steampunk-esque technology, reality-bending other worlds, and a very killer headache. Fans of Victoriocity, Josiah Bancroft's Books of Babel, or Tim Powers's alternative histories, will dig this.

I love this show so much! It's unique, smart, and funny. The story is so engaging and it doesn't take long to fall in love with the characters. If you're a fan of Terry Pratchett's writing, listen to this RIGHT NOW.
