This book/series was fun, and light. If you like fantasy filled with puns and not much real substance, this could be for you. Apparently, there was a character in this book that is also from another series of books by the author, so I don't know if it is an official tie-in or not... but if you do end up liking this book there is an entire other series for you.
Personally, while I did find the puns amusing, I think they would have gotten really old, really fast, and I am glad I decided to read this "omnibus" as three separate books, with several other books being read in-between.
There is not much character development or actual world-building. However, the story is enjoyable enough and short enough that you won't regret the time spent reading it. I read the audiobook version and the narrator does a great job!
