This book was such a joy to read. I really liked the variety of characters, their personalities, and their chemistry. The main  characters’s quirks were fun at first but became quite repetitive towards the end. Also the constant second-guessing and self-pity became a bit annoying as the book progressed. Overall, I feel like the beginning of the book was much stronger than the end of it, but I enjoyed the small-scale quest a lot (not all fantasy has to be about saving the world). The book had such strong and wonderful scenes, making me hold my breath or laugh with the characters.
