About A Fantasy Novel That Gets Straight to the Point by James Tyler Ball:
The Holy Stein O’ Kin Beer is missing, the Grand Lord of Beer is dead, and an entire village has been transformed into emerald-eyed ogres, but all Ser Bubbles wants is an ice-cold pint. Only, as a result of some terrifyingly dark sorcery, his golden helmet is stuck, preventing him from bringing glass to lip.
Bound by honour and the unfortunate title of being the Grand Lord’s son, Bubbles sets out to retrieve the stein and restore order to the village. This takes him on an utterly ridiculous journey across The Land of Linear, where he meets a snail-loving lord named Papa Escargot, a soulful Jive Turkey with the voice of Marvin Gaye, and a band of not-so-merry thieves, one of whom rides a levitating ass.
This is a fantasy novel unlike any other that tries, but so often fails, to get straight to the point. It combines the imagination of Terry Pratchett, the absurdities of Adventure Time, and the grit of Game of Thrones, underpinned by James Tyler Ball’s unique and hilarious style.
