Review of Fish Wielder
Fish Wielder is a comic, fantasy, adventure novel written by J.R.R.R. (Jim) Hardison. This book is a fun ride, full of adventure, fun, and entertainment. It is the first instalment in the Fish Wielder Trilogy.
Thoral Mighty Fist is the hero of our story. He is a depressed warrior with purple eyes, who goes on adventures with Bradfast, a talking fish, and Warlordhorse, a tiger-striped stallion. Thoral is said to be a barbarian with a muscular body and a strong, mighty fist. He has a powerful broadsword named Blurmflard, lent to him by his wizard mentor, Yiz. He sets out on a quest to kill the evil master, The Heartless One, of the Bad Religion, who wants to wipe out the elves from the land of Grome. He has a past that no living man has ever heard of because whenever he attempts to tell his story, it gets interrupted. The story, with lots of fun and comical twists and turns, gives the reader a ride through the quests and adventures of Thoral Mighty Fist and his companions.
I personally felt the book was worth reading because it made me laugh my heart out. No book has ever made me laugh this much. The satirical tone and comically presented scenarios gave me a chance to laugh. The fact that Brad and Thoral became friends, after Thoral rescued him from drowning, was very funny. The names of different places were hilarious, like ‘The Broken Gate’, because the gate was literally broken, or ‘Crumbling Cobblestone Street' or 'Murder Street’, etc. The fact that a type of magical pudding gave the mighty Fist Wielder, the ability to heal was also very amusing. I found numerous creatures like the half-lizard Pooja Assassins, which were not only unimaginable but also unheard of, even when compared to many other fantasy books. Our hero’s romantic encounter with the elfish Princess Nalweegie was also very interesting. Even if the story appeared silly at times, it had a tight plot and well-developed characters.
I did not find any grammatical or typographical errors, so the book is exceptionally well edited. The book contained occasional kissing scenes, but apart from that, I did not find anything profane. So, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars for the funny nature and well-developed characters.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves fun, adventure, and entertainment, except children because of the amount of violence involved. This book is also recommended for anyone who loves to laugh and enjoy comical things.
