I have to say, it took me a bit for the story to grow on me. I was most afraid that the humor and lighthearted fun injected throughout the story would rub me the wrong way. And I am pleased to have been proved so wrong.
The characters, each and every weirdo of this book completely grew on me. I had some really decent chuckles and... this is the real shiny star about this book - the action scenes are fantastically written!
In fantasy, action scenes are a must. Swords and clashes and magic and what have you... and sometimes, they can be a bit of a drag. Well, The Crew nails each and every fight scene. They're fun! They're full of sass, I mean the characters are full of sass... It's simply so imaginative and entertaining, I would recommend this to any and every fantasy reader!

My heartfelt greetings to Dog Man (I think you're my favourite!), to toad Modza! Yo! Marduk - you crazy bastard! Jasper... have to hail your ambition! ... Biter! I have a feeling about you yet, you funny weirdo!.. And, this is to name a few...

All in all, an absolutely brilliant debut, guaranteed to keep you entertained! Can't wait to see what happens next!
