Holy moly was this was an amazing read! Right from the start I was hooked into this world of Kinch and his unexpected quest in a well layered world that I found so interesting. I loved the familiar tropes of fantasy that were turned upside down, built upon and smashed down again. Blending dark humour, bloody violence and high adventure together for a compelling and unique story with characters and scenes I won’t ever forget, especially the whaling moment with vengeful kraken nor when a character is taken by a mob hungry goblins!
I recommend this absolute bonkers journey to fans of Jay Kristoff, Terry Pratchett and Joe Abercrombie

Someone else, either on Goodreads or here, mentioned the book felt like side quests in a video game, and that very much is true. It certainly feels like someone wrote down their D&D campaign. Every scenes, I was waiting for someone to say, “Roll for initiative!”
However! It’s not necessarily a bad thing. The voice of the main character is great, as is the humor. If you like a series of small stories with a very loose overarching plot with a mouthy main character, you’ll love this.
