A review by barb4ry1
Penny for Your Soul by K.A. Ashcomb
4.0
My advice? Don't pay attention to the atrocious cover, focus on the enjoyable content.
Ashcomb knows how to blend humor, economy, and intrigue into a compelling mix. Her humorous barbs usually hit the mark, and she comprehends the fantasy tradition well enough to reshape it in imaginative ways.
The book could use some trimming but it's worth attention, especially if you look for something clever and funny. Ashcomb doesn't hide her love for Pratchett and you'll find this unique Pratchettesque vibe here. Important note: she doesn't copy him but it's clear her humor and the use of footnotes were inspired by the true master.
