This book is so much fun! I read it almost like short stories (as my friend recommended). I loved the creativity and imagination put into it, and all of the worldbuilding! It had some pacing issues in the middle but continued to deliver on creative and funny throughout. I also loved the little cartoons that Moers adds in!
I added some content warnings but this is more of a silly fantasy. So even though there are some more serious things mentioned, they aren't in detail and definitely not done in a real-life kind of way. Just a note to consider.
