I have reviewed Fish Wielder a while ago and I must say it is hilarious yet really interesting. It makes fun of the fantasy tropes even as it weaves an interesting fantasy story. It is a great read. Thanks for the great review.

An action-packed adventure that follows a mighty barbarian warrior going through numerous battles. There's action and comedy, so that seems exciting.

Thoral Mighty Fist, a towering barbarian with a fish companion named Brad, embarks on a quest filled with battles against the Bad Religion and the Dark Brotherhood. It's a perfect blend of action and comedy. And, I'm excited to explore this entertaining fantasy world.

I am already hooked on the story through your review! 8-)
Really good insight of yours. I can feel the intensity of adventure, battle, and the joke from the book. I really loved how you described the fish "Brad", being the talking animal and breathing air although he is a fish! :lol2:
I think this kind of story is my cup of tea.
Thanks for the review.

"The Fellowship of the Pudding" could very well be the title of the book :D :lol: I read the sample and was really taken aback by the style of writing and the weirdly unique tale. It was definitely fun to read. Thanks for the recommendation and the great review, I can now enjoy the rest of the book peacefully :)

I will read "Fish Wielder" by J.R.R.R. (Jim) Hardison to know if Thoral and his friends succeeded in finding the Pudding of Power. This book seems interesting from this review.

I see you rated Fish Wielder by J.R.R.R. total score which means is a must-read I love sci-fi, and Thoral Mighty Fis sounds like an entertaining character with a foreign accent I like that thanks.

I'm curious about the subject of tgis book and the aesthetics used to foreground it, considering the review claims a dilemma into how it should be categorised in the first place. Thanks for the well-written review.

Together with his comrade Brad, Thoral, a powerful barbarian, had vanquished numerous 
enemies.But will the next fight be the same or will they lose against the most lethal 
opponent ever. Fist Wielder is an action-packed fantasy novel that will appeal to readers of all genres. Thank you for your review.

I’m not sure Fish Wielder is the book for me as I don’t enjoy fantasy novels or the kind of action this book entails. I genuinely hope it is enjoyed by its intended audience. Congrats on the BOTD!

I like that this book embraces the ludicrous limitless nature of the world of fantasy. A talking fish that can breath air? A giant barbaric warrior with a magic sword? Sounds like it has it all. I can tell from your review how much you enjoyed reading this book. Well done.

A ludicrous fantasy full of humor as well as the expected action and adventure sounds quite exciting. The exploits of Thoral Mighty Fist the barbarian and his companions such as the fish sound intriguing. This book sounds interesting so congratulations on BOTD.

The reviewer's 4 out of 4 star rating definitely piques my interest. The way the review describes the book's blend of farce and fantasy makes me curious to experience this "farctasy" genre for myself. I'm excited to embark on an adventurous journey with Thoral and his unique companions.
