my struggle with this book is that while I liked it, I felt like it was too slow moving. Having read a lot of Piers Anthony growing up I have a lot of patience for stupid puns and fantasy books that poke fun at themselves and the genre, but I just felt like this book was goign to take forever based on the pace that the ragtag group was assembling and I just don't have that long of an attention span these days. I wouldn't say no to coming back to this at another point, but for now I'm marking as read because my 2020 stats are pitiful.
