Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames

4.0

This book certainly isn't going to be for everyone, but it's a lot of fun to read! There's a lot of humour but also some heartwarming and really touching scenes. I thoroughly enjoyed embarking across Grandual and into the Heart Wyld with Saga, there are some wonderful characters in the band and outside of the band. For me, it was reminiscent of watching or listening to a dungeons and dragons campaign being played out--the snippets of character backstory as new situations unfold, the cheeky banter between members of the band. At times the book might feel like its heading into grimdark fantasy but having finished it I feel it's more high fantasy with a large splash of comedy thrown in (which works brilliantly). I'm looking forward to reading more of Eames work in future.
