My first book of the year and I’m over the moon with adoration for it! Can I give it 10 stars?! It’s so funny!

Skewering both the fantasy genre & capitalism.
More of this please.

I need more talking dolphins that want to unionize.
(There is a sentence I NEVER thought I’d write!) In parody format is the only time an animal should have a pov or talk in a book.

(Note this book has both a comedy and humor tag. As if they are different?!)

My only complaint is that the sapient cats were not nearly as big of a plot element as the marketing makes it seem.

I enjoyed this story, but felt that it moved a little too quickly.

Once I made it to the dolphins going on strike this book had me. It could do no wrong.

Perfectly enjoyable book. The perfect amount of geeky and ridiculous and adventure and intrigue. 

I adore Wil Wheaton's narrations.
