I loved this book! It was charming, and heartwarming - not words I often use to describe fantasy novels.

This book has quite a comedic tone - something I didn't expect going in. In general, there's a good balance of serious moments and lighthearted ones. I loved our characters, I really rooted for them. Clay makes an excellent protagonist - how can someone be so straightforward yet complex at the same time?

Not only were the characters wonderful, the world was already rich. It was very reminiscent of D&D. Essentially every creature you can think of exists within this world. It allowed for really entertaining stories.

Honestly, my only criticism of this book is that we only get 1 with this Band! I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys classic fantasy, and fantasy RPGs. This makes a great read in between heavier novels.
