“I love short stories so when I found out about this one (the concept of which sounded so unbelievably funny) I knew I had to add it to my September TBR.
This book was funny. The writing style was hilarious. However, the story seemed like it was thrown together in an afternoon. It almost felt too short, like we as the reader were missing something.
The concept for this book is a solid 5/5, the humor is a solid 5/5, but the book was so poorly planned, so it has to be a 2.5”Likable charactersFunny writingMagical settingComicalViolenceUnsatisfying ending

“This was a lot funnier than I anticipated, which means I was stuck in my break at work giggling like a toddler at all the silly humour in it.
I do regret not knowing more about the characters from the author's other books, but this was a great push for me to look forward to reading them.
Good, quick book to get a few smiles out of you. Definitely recommend it if you like goofy humour or have a bad day.”
