The Adventures of Strongarm & Lightfoot: Assassins Brawl by Michael C. Bailey

a_writer_guy's review against another edition

3.0

I was so excited about this book when I first started it. It had such a great, cheeky humor to it that is so rare in the fantasy genre. I loved the fact that the narrator drew attention to the fact that he/she was a narrator. It just had a really great feel to it. Unfortunately, that didn't last throughout. By the end of the book, I felt like I was just reading a standard fantasy adventure, and I was a little disappointed. There was still some humor, of course, but it was less common and didn't have the same impact when it came along. Despite all that, it was still a well-told, well-written fantasy adventure that I did enjoy.

I've been a fan of the fantasy genre practically since I learned how to read, and I loved the humorous take on all of the tropes in "Strongarm and Lightfoot". I also really liked how the prophecy and the titular lich played out, though I won't go into detail on that here -- no spoilers!

If you're a fan of fantasy and humor, I strongly recommend checking out this first book in a new series.

Strongarm and Lightfoot offers a lively adventure that plays with D & D tropes in sometimes unexpected ways. There is comedy, combat, and a few good plot twists. It took a while to connect with the characters, for me, but it was certainly an enjoyable read.
