I don't normally read YA books (anymore, I've read a few libraries worth when I was a kid :-)), but I follow the author on Twitter and enjoy his writing and humor there so I thought I'll give this a chance.
I'm glad I did because this turned out to be a great book! It's got a brave young knight, an alien, trolls, a spaceship and a sarcastic robot amongst other things. I don't want to spoil too much of the story, but I'll say that I really enjoyed the mash-up of different genres, it makes the book a surprising and fun read.
There's a lot of good humor in there (the rowboat thing made me laugh out loud) and there's plenty of action and suspense too. It's a really entertaining book and I really hope we'll see more of the characters.
A great book that I highly recommend!
