Bluntly, it's like a train wreck you just can't look away from. It has moments when it uses modern language in this medieval fantasy setting which breaks emersion. Example A, towards the end of the book a character leaves and another character describes it as him "peacing out." I couldn't stop laughing. Or when a cigar container gets brought up but there are no cigars. Definitely can be campy, if you don't take it too seriously I'd recommend a read.
