3/5 ⭐️s
Peterson's strength is in his characters - they are endearing and relatable. the silliness that I disliked so much in this book came out in the narrator's voice and the naming conventions. at least for me, epic fantasy vibes just cannot be combined with silliness and absurdity. I have heard that the series gets progressively better, so maybe I'll pick up the other books at some point in the future.
