Critic Reviews

"A fantastic book...Nelson Chereta has a unique talent at writing witty dialogue and engaging characters. He also has that rare gift that manages to successfully infuse humor into the story, without cheapening it." (Fantasy Muse)

The truth? I started listening to this series because books 1-4 were included for free in my Audible subscription and I had long hours of travel scheduled. I often download a dozen freebies or boxed sets, just to fill my brain with candy while travelling or with long nights due. But here's the kicker... the series just keeps getting better and better. I am hooked. I'd happily pay for these. Absolutely worth the credits.

You can read my ordinal review after book 1 below...

Looking for a joyous fantasy of dark magic troped? Look no further. While the characters are largely satirical stereotypes, they are lovable in their ways. The plot skips along nicely and leaves you rooting for the bad guy and chuckling.

Silly, fun, twisted fantasy romp

I had to change the speed to 0.9 (which is extreemly unusual for me) otherwise the performance was extreemly well done

The story is interesting and I am liking the character progression (and hoping for some more in future books)

this book had me laughing a few times, I look forward to the next book :)

Supprisingly Enjoyable
