This was a really fun read! I was replaying Final Fantasy XVI while listening to this audiobook and I guarantee I'll always think about this book when thinking about this game now.

I enjoyed the worldbuilding a lot, especially how Owen incorporated German language and folklore into the story. The cast of characters is also incredibly fun and lovable, turning into a ragtag team of absolute buffoons whom I absolutely adored.

I'd definitely check out the sequel someday but I'm doing my best not to buy books too often these days so I'll be moving onto something I already own next!
