The Fantastically Underwhelming Epic of a Dead Wizard and an Average Bard by Kian N. Ardalan

5.0

Over the last 30 years I have seen dragons with Raistlin and Caramon, peaked into the shadows with Erevis and Drasek, been to the underdark with Cattie-Brie, Bruenor, Wulfgar, Regis and Drizzt and experienced magic with Elminster but it has been a long time since an adventure as fresh and engaging as this came along.

We follow George, Simantiar, Kendrith, Kristen and Logan along this breathtaking journey to find the mystical treasure that is mentioned in an old book. Along the journey we laugh, we cry, and we have our breath taken away by suspense. I really loved it! The world feels rich, the characters are relatable, and it is just fun to read.

This book started as a writing prompt on Reddit and evolved into a story that really surprised me. I want to read more from this world and hope that in the future we get more stories from it.

And yes... the book can be a bit rough sometimes on editing and grammar but to be honest I didn't care that much. It just filled my heart!

If you love adventure.... READ IT!
