I dunno. Kinda fun overall, but ...

Fitz is excellent. I need to know, though, how he reloads his sewing kit.

The variety of adventures is good, considering the limitations of the initial assumptions.

But Hereward, despite seeming like a basically decent guy, is really just a weapon that Fitz points at people, and one that in its spare time wants to get drunk and/or laid. He has many skills, but seems incurious about anything outside his area. OK, lots of people like that in real life, but books need more interesting characters.

And, in these times as the world drifts to the right, I am not up for their approach of "collateral damage? meh, none of them matter." They sometimes make a weak attempt to save a few good people, but really anything that isn't them can die if that's what it takes to get 'er done in not too many pages. A lot of "whoo, cool weapon!"

The stories are okay, but not good enough to keep me engaged. It kinda feels like a weird D&D podcast featuring a creepy puppet based loosely on Pinocchio
