Phenomenal book that I regret finishing. This book had me giggling in one chapter, then immediately panicking the next. With so many tales of "coming of age", it's fascinating to read a story of "getting the band back together one more time".

Clay Cooper is a fantastic lead, who is so human and relatable, and the entire group is just incredibly unique and I loved their interactions together along the journey.

One of the most uniquely enjoyable experiences I’ve had in fantasy in a long time. Eames doesn’t try to be overly clever; the tropes and archetypes that populate this book are laid out front and center. The characters are all lovely in their own way, and legitimately hilarious. Longtime readers of fantasy should enjoy everything in here. 8.5/10.

Where do I even begin with this book? This is so far my favorite book of 2022, even beating Jade Legacy by Fonda Lee. It's incredible heartfelt, hilarious, and highly entertaining. There was not a moment where I was bored and wishing for this to be over.

The characters are all important, you grow to love them. The plot itself is engaging and keeps you on your toes. The world was a little on the back burner but the characters make up for it. Finishing this book left a huge smile on my face.

I don't think I've read a book in a long time that can make me laugh loudly as much as this book has. There were parts where I'd scream "oh my gods" while at work that my coworkers were concerned for me. Each main character is important to the story, the writing is very easy to digest, the fantasy elements make sense. It's everything you wanted in one book.

The audiobook is definitely the best way to consume this. The narrator does a fantastic job in bringing these characters to life and you can differentiate all of them. Please listen to it. I guarantee you won't regret it!
