Your review is amazing. Fantasy and farce in the same book sounds fascinating. I hope Thoral survives the encounter with the Heartless one. Congrats to the author on BOTD.

The book's cover page attracted my attention, and from it, I can predict that there's a lot of action and fantastical creatures in the book. As a fan of fantasy, I will try Fish Wielder. Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

The description of Thoral made me laugh out loud. Definitely not a typical protagonist of fantasy novels. Sounds like this is a worthwhile read.

I am just curious to know about this fantasy novel if it will be different from others. However this review tells that most readers will definitely enjoy it. Interesting though.

Your take on the main guy, Thoral Mighty Fist, and his crazy adventures with his fish buddy Brad really captures the book's unique vibe. I'm seriously impressed with how the author mixes humor and action without losing the story's quality.

It's a genuine treat to read a book that successfully integrates humour and serious themes. I'm also quite intrigued about the Gromes' and Thorall's peculiar character designs.
As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will always exist.

I am quite a down-to-earth kind of person both in views and tastes, thereby, unfortunately, Sci-Fi/Fantasy was never among my preferred reading material and I am unable to evaluate it properly due my unexperience with the genre. Sorry and congratulations with BOTD!

The best combination of literary prowess, comedy, wit, and satire that I can think of is Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," and your review gives me hope that this new offering might actually come close to meeting such a bar. You promise a lot - I hope it lives up to the hype.

I just don't see a huge quest resulting from looking for the "Pudding of Power." Congratulations on BOTD!

It's evident that you thoroughly enjoyed diving into the quirky world of Thoral Mighty Fist and his companion, Brad the talking fish. Your enthusiasm shines through as you highlight the eccentricities of the characters and their humorous escapades.

This one is not to my taste, but I did like the idea of a fantasy parody taking inspiration from Lord of the Rings and Narnia. Even the author's pen name follows suit.

"Fish Wielder is a rollicking adventure that packs a punch with its witty humor and clever subversion of fantasy tropes. The larger-than-life hero and quirky cast of characters make for a delightful read, and the unexpected plot twists keep the story fresh and exciting. A delightful escapade that will tickle the funny bone of fantasy fans looking for something a bit off the beaten path."
