Gnomish Press LLC Orconomics: A Satire Paperback – 22 November 2014

I don't normally leave reviews on Amazon. I just don't get that fired up about stuff to do so. But I'm leaving one now...I bought Orconomics on a whim. It's been years since I read a fantasy novel, but the concept was intriguing, and I do enjoy a good satire. There were a couple of typos that snuck through the editing process, and one glaring error early on (around p.12) where two pages contained identical text. These did give me misgivings, but I'm so glad I read on.About 1/4 of the way through, I ordered the sequal (Son of a Liche), and now I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for part three in the Dark Prophet Saga. This is a delightfully clever series set in a world that will be all too familiar to anybody who has ever read a fantasy book, or played an RPG - there are even references to low level quests clearing rats out of cellars for example. However, all those familar tropes are contorted to fit within a capitalist system of professional heroes and powerful consortiums of financial backers and investors.The party of heroic adventurers are all well-written, three-dimensional characters with their own back stories and inner demons that influence their actions and drive the story onwards towards it's unexpected and very heartfelt climax.Well worth a punt on this one!

Not your average high fantasy adventure. More twists than expected. Enjoy!

O que dizer? Um dos melhores livros de fantasia que já li. Certamente o melhor do subgênero "fantasia cômica". Pega pra ler.

Finally an author that knows how to write and keep the reader engaged. I thoroughly enjoyed the narrative style and humour throughout the book.

I enjoyed the book, but there were multiple pages printed out of order, so it that brought it down 2 stars for me. Would not recommend this as is
