Quense is a prolific author, mostly in the fantasy and sci fi genre. His style feels like a nod toward Douglas Adams, which he cites as inspiration (so it fits). The story itself is really just a backdrop for the same kind of adventure (relatively unextraordinary hero thrown into an extraordinary circumstance) with a ton of humor and chuckle-worthy jokes tossed in fray.

This book is a fantasy, and feels almost like an RPG. Quense is great at immersing you right in his world and drawing you close to the characters. I do feel the characters could be beefed up a bit, but overall it wasn’t bad and it was a pretty quick-paced read. I think there’s a lot of elements to this novel that fall out of the fantasy genre, which is part of what makes it great. It’s got some elements that are typically in other genres, and it doesn’t break the world. Quense is a master at world building and redefining the typical fantasy story.

If you love Hitchhiker’s Guide you’ll love this book. It’s a great homage, intentional or otherwise. ( )
