Samir to my list of authors whose books I will instantly buy going forward and I feel confident if you give this book a shot you will be doing the same. Any book that can do that to me is an instant recommendation as far as I’m concerned. Most importantly though the comedy in this book quite literally made me laugh out loud so many times that I lost count. Sadir did a fantastic job with the world building in how he described things to the point I felt like I could see the scene taking place but also the pacing of his action was spot on.

I can honestly say this story had me hooked from the first page to the point I simply couldn’t put it down and when I did I was always itching to pick it back up. While those two are great there are so many more supporting/side characters who play an equally significant role in the story with my personal favorite being Zuba (if you know me at all you will know why he’s my favorite) but honestly I love each member of the crew.

Whereas Edghar is a man of reason battling his own inner turmoil of the heart in one of those I know it's the right thing to do but I don’t want to do it scenarios. Varcade truly does give off Deadpool vibes especially in the humor and his willingness to kill without feeling any remorse. I would say there are two main characters, Varcade who is an assassin for hire and Edghar who was the Spymaster for the Bone Lord aka Queen of Akrab.

I can see so many references to so many other shows in each core character that I feel confident there is something for everyone along the way. The author used the tagline Kings of the Wyld meets Deadpool and while I haven’t read Kings of the Wyld I can say if you like Deadpool then I think you will enjoy this book. If Sadir isn’t on your radar he truly should be. Samir and man oh man does he come out swinging.
