what an amusing read! it was easy to get into this unique world where every possible fantasy trope resides. the dialogues are witty and they don't really generate a laugh but some chuckles and loads of smile. 
 It's good to read something that's pointedly poking fun at many tropes and usual plot twists one finds in this genre. 
 Reading this book as an adult is a different experience as the themes one would look for is largely absent. There is nothing subtle in the story, motifs exist as a satirical tool and plot is chaotic. 
 Can't wait to read next one in the series.
