The title sounded interesting. But the book itself was HORRIBLE. Bad writing (he wrote it in texts and then cobbled it together). No editing, definitely terrible grammar and incorrect spelling. No plot. Too much obsession with putting in pop culture references. And it wasn't funny. It was what the author thought was funny and thought everyone else should find funny but it really, really wasn't. And there were no witches.

[Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.]

This was...ridiculous. I suspect the author was going for humorous, so I expected it to be a bit on the lighter side. But I couldn't take the characters seriously at all, and the story just seemed a bit shallow and simplistic. The protagonist was not relatable in the slightest and all of the twists in the story seemed to be way too convenient to keep me engaged as a reader.

Astro-Nuts is definitely out of the box from what I normally read. The story did totally remind me of Spaceballs, and I thought it was hilarious in that utterly ridiculous kind of way. If you take Star Wars like super serious, then you might not appreciate this kind of humor. It's more for those light hearted space adventure readers. It's a fun read either way. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

After just finishing a very long epic fantasy, this was a nice way to lighten back up. A bartender with a penchant of throwing his patrons out of the second floor window, volunteers as the representative of his village to seek the hand of the princess. Thus begins a journey along which he picks up a loquacious bard with an ability to avoid death and a pair of sisters looking for adventure.

Chuckles abound in this tale especially when nods to modern tropes are recognized.
