Read this after The Dark Lord of Derkholm and I loved it even more than that first book. It's got the "wizard school vibe" to it, but like, if that school is severely underfunded and lead poorly.
There are so many funny details that just make this book altogether silly and charming and makes me wish I could keep reading it forever. Highly recommend if you need a lighter fantasy read for a while.
