The world building is very good. Fantasy books are tough because you need the reader to know all the facts and setting and rules to the world, but info dumping doesn't read well. In this book the author weaves it into the story. It's also funny, the main character's internal monologue sounds a little like a modern person talking or joking and it's a funny juxtaposition to the medieval setting. Cozy and funny while also being dark. There's definitely more parts to the story and the setting that I wanted to know more about, like the blistered land and the goblin market.
