Critic reviews

"A fantastic book...Nelson Chereta has a unique talent at writing witty dialogue and engaging characters. He also has that rare gift that manages to successfully infuse humor into the story, without cheapening it." (Fantasy Muse)

At the beginning, the narrator speeds up and down during different sections of the book, makes it hard to follow. Overall storyline doesn't capture my attention.

Narrating speed?!

Fun world and excellent narration, although not as charming and funny as Pratchett it has a lot of the same feeling and I really enjoyed this story.

Silly epic fantasy journey

I love a good fantasy adventure yarn and this story is a great listen.
I also enjoy the anti hero vibes.
The performance is very well done too.

Great fantasy epic with very funny characters.

I did not have high hopes to be honest. Chose this book because I was out of credits. To my surprise (sorry to prejudge) this book was very funny and the story is also quite good. I will definately listen to the next ones in this series.

Good story with a dash of humour!

First the bad.
Now the good. Everything! Truly loved this book. Laugh out loud funny at times. Truly engaging characters. Outstanding narration. Brilliant storyline. Already downloaded the next 2 in the series. Hopefully there is more but I only had 2 credits left.

Waldo lot of brilliance (sorry).
