Honestly I’m really not sure I see the Hunchback of Notre Dame influence here but it didn’t matter because the vibrant world building kept me rooted to my seat. The characters were engaging and it was a unique twist on an epic fantasy plot. Fast paced, witty and compelling. Can’t wait for the next one.

This story is an epic fantasy with phenomenal world building, a fast paced plot, twists and turns, and likable yet flawed characters. I've never read a book with an MC who has made the kinds of mistakes that this MC makes--I found writing riveting and intriguing and unique. I thoroughly enjoyed this adventure and can't wait for the next installment.

I was really looking forward to this book and it did not disappoint! I was entertained and left wanting more. This book has probably been my favorite read in a while.
