No Country for Old Gnomes
No Country for Old Gnomes: The Tales of Pell | Kevin Hearne, Delilah S. Dawson
27 posts | 18 read | 25 to read
Go big or go gnome. The New York Times bestselling authors of Kill the Farm Boy return to the world of Pell, the irreverent fantasy universe that recalls Monty Python and Terry Pratchett. The Skyr is a rich, verdant land claimed by both halflings and gnomes. For centuries, the halflings have worked to undermine gnomish power structures and seize total control--through legal means, certainly, but more insidiously through their extensive organized crime network. Now, threatened with being pushed out entirely, the gnomes are desperate and ready to fight back. Gustave the Goat King faces his first test as a leader: Can he bring peace to a fraught region or will a civil war consume the entire kingdom?

Do you yearn to feast your eyes upon rich satire and nearly limitless dick jokes? Look no farther. For those who enjoyed/endured the previous book, “kill the farm boy.” This sequel is sure to please.

I absolutely love these books. They are such fun fantasy books. It‘s always great to be in this world as it‘s such a great time. In this one an unlikely group of friends get together to try and save the kingdom and gnomes from the halflings. So of course they go on a journey!

Book 2 in the Tales of Pell series and while this one had significantly less poop jokes, the characters this time around fell really flat in comparison to book one. I love gnomes and they were kind of bland to me. The plot wasn‘t all that appealing either, I laughed a few times at some decent jokes but overall not that great. The covers for this series are stunning though and I love them.

I liked this book much more than I did the first book and even my six-year-old son enjoyed it. He sat through the whole novel. A metal gnome, a paranoid half-sheep half-human girl, a halfing, a dwarf, and a noble gryphon. The book is hilarious. Most of these classic fantasy characters are POC, as well.

Here is my June #BookSpin list - all books I plan to read this month

I‘ve only been doing this for 2 months, but the books that get picked as the Book Spin have been cursed and I haven‘t been able to read them 🤣 Let‘s hope for June I break the curse!

TheAromaofBooks The Curse of the BookSpin totally sounds like a Nancy Drew title 😂 5y

My commute to work consists of a bus ride (when I read a book) and a 20 min walk (when I listen to a audiobook). I may have chosen my books poorly this time around, cuz i'm having trouble making the mental shift between Wilder Girl's heavy, dystopian survival horror and No Country for Old Gnomes' cheeky, campy, over-the-top monty python-esque romp through Skyr. It's a self-induced emotional roller coster.

The voice work on this audiobook is astounding. The plot is interesting and the scenes are hilarious. One of the rare times when a sequel surpasses the first book.

Kooky and fun, full of middle school type humor. In a good way. If you put Lord of the Rings and and Shrek in a blender this book would be the result.

One of the pros to working at a gym is access to fancy weights than can tell you about the general state of your body. I tested before the first round of #bookfitnesschallenge and again today, and turns out the weight I've put on during #bfc is pure muscle. Bless this challenge for motivating the heck outta me! 💪 😄😄
Celebrating with an ab-workout (laughing is a workout, pass it on) provided by the tagged book, which is a GEM. 💃💃

I LOVED this book. I think I loved this one even more than Kill the Farm Boy. This one really hit that sweet spot of comedy and adventure. It seemed a bit less over the top comedically for me than the first one which was just what I needed. It was still funny and full of puns and names that you chuckle at, but just something about it felt more like an adventure and less of a comedy so it was just right.

Another hilarious and meaningful adventure from Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne. The characters, as usual, are relatable and fun. I was excited to see the return of my favorite characters from Kill the Farm Boy. Definitely for anyone who enjoys a hearty laugh.

jpmcwisemorgan I have Kill the Farm Boy, just need to read it! 6y
AthenaWins @jpmcwisemorgan You definitely should! I liked it better than this one, but they're both funny and leave you with a satisfying conclusion. 6y

"There was a section of the market purveying automaatti designed to perform all sorts of tasks, from shiny golddenne men who wouldn't shut up, to rolling ballish bots who chirruped pleasantly, to a thing much like a garbage pail on wheels that seemed smarter than it had any right to be."
