Jon Hollins is a one-of-a-kind storyteller, a master of
epic fun and
nonstop actionIdeal for fans of humorous capers and heist stories - such as
Ocean's Eleven, Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastard Sequence series and Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga
So freaking hilarious . . . fast paced, hard to put down and incredibly entertaining with some truly memorable characters
Hollins's
seat-of-the-pants fantasy comedy snowballs wildly into
a glorious disaster of fire, magic, multiple threats to people's intestines, and fun-for the reader, if not the characters . . . a dragon's hoard for any fan of comic fantasy
As a stand-alone novel, it's
extremely satisfying; as the beginning of a proposed series, it promises
excitement and thrills for years to come. Highly recommended
Unlike other books which contain a rag-tag gaggle of wacky adventure types, this book is actually good.
And I mean, really really goodHumour, action, snappy dialogue, and creative solutions to unusual problems . . . in this quirky tale, it's the infighting and the unforeseen circumstances that makes things so entertaining
