Thisby Thestoop and the Black Mountain by Zac Gorman
3.0
I received this through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
Thisby Thestoop is the lowly game keeper of Black Mountain. Even though she knows the most about this dungeon and the creatures in it, she still works for a jerky boss and an absent supervisor. Thisby has lived and worked in Black Mountain ever since she can remember. Her only friend is an animated slime creature. The monsters in the dungeon become threatened by more terrible monsters below it when the prince and princess from the neighboring kingdom visit Black Mountain. Thisby will need to use everything she has learned about her home to save it and maybe along the way she will make a few new friends.
It is a quirky funny story. I liked the slime creature that didn't like to leave his jar, he was a fun addition. I never truly warmed up to any of the characters beyond Thisby and the slime creature. This does have some violence and some pretty scary scenes for the younger readers...people are killed during this quest. Ultimately though, I can see myself giving this to readers.
