A light fast-paced story; it has interesting worldbuilding with funny characters that stop the story from getting too dark and moody. Despite this, there is a surprising amount of depth to the characters and story as well as a plot with some real stakes. Sometimes it felt like not much actually happened, but hopefully this is just to properly set up the conclusion in the second book.
