Everything you want to read was not written in the book, I do not want to give spoilers, if you decide to finish it. but it is full of plot armors and deus ex machinas. Eames clearly set out to write something fun to read, and he has succeeded spectacularly. i do not know about the tone, it did not bother me. Moreover, the plot is emotionally rewarding, original, and hilarious, and boasts a satisfying conclusion while leaving room for future books. The world is rich and exciting, with every classic fantasy monster on hand and a few delightfully horrifying new ones. Eames has cranked the thrills of epic fantasy up to 11 with gleeful disregard for restraint or good sense. Where dignified heroes would despair, Saga rises to every occasion, whether by old skill or uncanny good luck. Putting the band back together requires getting an enchanted sword out of hock, retrieving their wizard from his search for a cure for the disease that killed his husband, getting their dagger man to give up being a king, and freeing their main muscle guy from dire imprisonment. Clay Cooper's quiet retirement following his many adventures with Saga, a band of mercenaries, is interrupted when Saga's ex-leader, Gabriel, begs for help rescuing his daughter, Rose, who has become a mercenary in her own right and is now under siege with no hope of escape. In this brilliant debut novel, Eames creates a high-energy epic fantasy adventure straight from a heavy metal album cover.
