Godnapped!

by Jude Cocaigne

When Magic’s about to die, who are you going to call?

Mabon is nowhere to be found, and when a powerful deity goes missing, you call in the experts. Enter Vejuna Fandango, the greatest herbologist Ze World has ever known, and Bolonius Piliferakis, a renowned wizzer specialist in dimension magic.

Wizzers and herbologists have been rivals for so long, no one can remember why. But now, they must team up and travel to another dimension as Magic begins to fade, for without Mabon, Ze World's harmony is broken. Their planet faces imminent destruction, and time is running out fast, because to make matters worse, Mabon’s not only missing, he’s been godnapped!

What an Amazing adventure! 👏

Yet another exciting adventure through ZeWorld.

I absolutely adore the characters as they journey through ZeWorld to find a God who has been Godnapped without him ZeWorld will rip apart. With the world at stake they find more than they bargained for. The stakes are high and you enjoy every twist and turn in this fun, quirky, laugh-out-loud adventure with Romance and other delights.

You're sure to love this one from Ms. Cocaigne.

Quick and fun

This is a delightful and quirky read. Would love to see it developed into a full length novel, but I can’t complain as it stands. Vejuna is a fun character, I love her voice. I want to know more about her.

I picked this up because the blurb reminded me of Terry Pratchett. While it isn't the spiritual successor to Discworld yet, it has potential!

It features the same zaniness, absurdly named characters, nods to mythology and literature and footnotes(!) and strives to capture what Pratchett did - big concepts and philosophical ideas hidden in fantasy and humor. While the book doesn't quite achieve this with the aplomb of Sir Terry, it was still entertaining and held my attention till the last page.

I look forward to more in the series and would love to see what the author could do in a full length novel as I feel part of this book's weakness was the novelette length that meant everything needed a quick resolution.

This surprising story made me smile. The characters are a little weird but kind of endearing. Basically it's a fantasy style detective story in which two very different main characters from opposing fractions of special powers have to work together. Still, they seem to like each other and the search goes relatively smoothly. But time is running out because their world is suffering from the absence of the god. And there is more going on than what meets the eye in several area's of the story. Although the story is kind of mellow/ sweet, the urge for those mysteries to be unraveled keeps you at the edge of you seat.

A fun fast paced fantasy, with interesting characters. It is a quick read, but it draws you in from the beginning. I was disappointed that due to its length, it did not have as much character development as I would like. I would have liked to see more about what happened next in their lives, to me the story just ends. Another positive is it has a great mix of mystery, action, adventure, humor, and romance. I recommend you give this book a try, it will definitely draw you into Ze World. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This book was a lot of fun to read. Mabon is preparing for his hibernation and getting his den all prepared when he is Godnapped!

So it becomes the mission of Vejuna and Bolonius to find him. A lot of fun giggles, some innocent flirting happens. We learn who godnapped Mabon and what it’s going to take to try to get him back.

I look forward to now reading book 2 of the Ze World, Snooze or Lose. .

Vejuna and Bolonius are tasked to find Mabon, a powerful deity. This is a very quick and short fantasy read with sci-fi elements.
