This book was on my radar for a while until I couldn't resist my curiosity anymore. I love fantasy but (please don't kill me) it can be exhausting to read sometimes. This book is refreshing in so many ways! I loved the way the author didn't overwhelm the reader with heavy worldbuilding but still managed to create a believable world.
Messages from the Gods through a severely unreliable channel? We can work with it.
Vampires? Sure!
Non-binary, shape-shifting damsels in distress? "Call me a damsel again and you'll learn what distress really means!"
Nicolas is the ultimate reluctant hero. He never changes his mind about his distaste for adventure. On the other hand and much to his dismay, he isn't the kind of guy who can turn his back on other people's pain. He's a goody-two-shoes but one we can relate to. He will save the day, complain thoroughly, and won't enjoy a second of it.
Definitely recommend this to anyone with a sense of humor.
