Another Fine Myth by Robert Lynn Asprin

4.0

I love books that take known tropes - magicians battling for supremacy, the summoning of evil demons, the good hearted apprentice who prevails against all odds - and flips them upside down. This book is setting up the rest of the series, and if you like campy, silly fun and bad puns you'll love it. The draw of the books is the silly humor, absurd situations, and interesting worldbuilding. Some of the characters risk being caricatures and the women are pretty much all beautiful and mysterious being who must be protected despite all the evidence showing how dangerous they are in their own right. The humor is reminiscent of early Terry Pratchett Discworld books, and if you like one you'll probably enjoy the other. Overall solid comedic fantasy worth picking up in a used book store.
