★★★★★ “[...] If The Princess Bride and The Addams Family had a love child, it would be this book. I was laughing from page one to basically the last page [...] It’s just feet kicking, giggling all-around good time. This is high fantasy and yet it’s cozy high fantasy. It’s a warm hug. It’s a good laugh. [...] I don’t think I’ve ever read anything quite like it. [...] [I]f you’re looking for a good time, if you want to giggle a little bit & swoon, I highly suggest this book.”
