I think of this as stupid sci-fi. I put this with my guilty pleasure books like the Undying Mercenaries series. The first half felt like every other cheap sci-fi book. Then it hooked me and I kept up with every new release. 17 of them so far. It is silly, funny, clever, and not so serious. I feel like the storylines from this series are the kind of ideas dorky stoners come up with.

I generally listen to fantasy and sci-fi while I work. This was a wonderful short book that had interesting magic. I loved The Name of The Wind and I feel like this work inspired Mr. Rothfuss. The nature of this world and the magic of naming seems so similar to NOTW. The story's pace was good. I normally do not select works this short but I think I need to reconsider. It was very well written and had good prose. Not as serious as the other famous works by the author, but I like a nice and fun adventure as much as a serious commentary on human nature or society. I look forward to reading everything in the series.
