I’m so happy this series was recommended to me. I love Pratchett’s Discworld, and this book has a lot of the stuff I love in there, but is different enough for it to be enjoyable (not to mention it was written before Discworld?!). 

One of the things I enjoyed the most was Skeeve and Aahz’s dynamic. Skeeve is an apprentice who we can see is clever, sharp, and witty from the writing itself, not just by being told it. Apprentices in so many fantasies tend to be weak and/or verging on stupid at the beginning of books, so it’s nice to see Skeeve fighting back against Aahz right from the start. 

And it was just so funny! Some of the quotes at the beginning of the chapters completely took me OUT. 

Definitely a series I’ll be continuing.
