I love this series! It’s got a great magic system, the world building is great, and though it has all of the common components for fantasy series, it feels very authentic & original. Moreover, this has been one of the most comedic fantasy I’ve read without diminishing any other serious aspects or storylines. Very excited to keep reading the series.

this is more adult than I expected and I’m enjoying it a lot so far. not for those who dont appreciate swearing or bickering & ribbing characters. one character reminds me of a magical Ron Swanson

world building is a little wonky — but overall still very much enjoying. Easy to read, moderate pace, and not too much stress, wholesome. good read for a bad mood

Good series so far. I like that it’s very easy reading (or listening- narrator is the fabulous Peter Kenny), it’s a wholesome & unique story, developed & interesting magic systems, the bonus of dragons & familiars, as well as solid world building. on the note of world building, one thing that keeps tripping me up is the use of real & known places in what I believe is otherwise fabricated world. it’s a minor tho

phenomenal book — it’s densely packed with information & fresh takes on old debates. definitely something you can read & re-read and still fjnd new nuggets. not for everyone, but definitely for those who are Into activism

choosing to bury my head in books rather than the sand. I love reading just about anything and am here primarily to find recommendations and have found that I like reading the brilliant reviews here just as much.

absolutely loving the inn’s family - the innkeeper & her wife, the cook are helpful, kind and have two hilarious little kids. it’s a minor role but I’m glad to see the lgbtqia+ representation with such a happy, cute, & funny family. seeing any positive representation in fantasy in the wild (as opposed to specifically selecting a lgbt+ fantasy book) is awesome

enjoying this series very much — light & easy fantasy reading

really good. something I particularly love about it is the interaction with animals and familiars. since I am a sucker for wholesome tales and happy endings, this book is hitting the spot after reading a few different series (which were equally wonderful but significantly more dark).

Love the book! It’s really lighthearted and truly has all the fun elements of magic, animals & familiars, thieves & denizens, magicians/mages & artifacts or power, and so far some love too!

really excited about familiars, talking animals, dragons & love haha

Really good, unique story telling and great job at reiterating some of the more complex lores & prophecies
