My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is genuinely delightful.
My keyboard is being an ass and typing extra a's for no reason, so I'll keep this brief!
Apologies if extras a's sneak in without my notice and don't get corrected.
So, there is much to love about this book. It is meant for the younger reader, so don't expect a sweeping prose and exquisite narration.
The female member of the group was, thankfully, not useless, as they are in so many other works (looking at you, Over Sea, Under Stone). She's bright and slays monsters with the best of them.
The one thing that bothered me, and again, take this with some salt, as it's a children's book, Welly seems upset he is chubby. In a world where food is scarce, it seems to me that being chubby would be an ideal as it's so very rare.
Still, this was a fun little book, and I really enjoyed it.
