Uninvited Quests: A Comedic Fantasy Adventure (World of Hyrt Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Lex Wilson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.6 out of 5 stars 22 ratings
She’s a half-human paladin on an apology tour for a (formerly?) evil god. He’s supposed to be someone else's squire. It’s up to them to save the kingdom. But first…

Lucan and Manrel have a mission to slay the Dragonqueen and prevent worldwide doom. But when the hero-less squire and his oddball companion hear rumors of a legendary sword, they decide they can handle two missions. It doesn’t take long for them to realize the dungeon holding the weapon is teeming with goblins, ooze monsters, and other terrifying creatures…

Just when everything seems lost, Lucan and Manrel stumble upon not a blade--but a powerful paladin. Sure, she’s sworn fealty to an evil god, but she may be their only hope to survive their quests. Can Lucan and Manrel convince the unstable warrior to join their side and save the world?

Uninvited Quests is the first book in a series of comedic fantasy adventures. If you like side-splitting humor, fresh takes on familiar archetypes, and subverting typical fantasy tropes, then you’ll love Lex Wilson’s irreverent romp.

Quest the unexpected, and open the door to fun-filled fantasy today!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Clever Nonsense with a Don Quixote Vibe
    Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2019
    Format: Kindle
    This is a cheerfully inane book that scores its best laughs when it isn't trying too hard to be funny.

    Our setup is that we have a feckless knight and a long suffering squire who wander into a dangerous and pointless sidequest in a dark mine. The plot has the squire constantly advising caution and the knight cluelessly rushing into peril. None of that was especially novel. But, the fun is in the cross-talk between the two, with some very clever wordplay and deadpan one-liners.

    About a third of the way into the book, and the mine, I thought that pattern was starting to wear thin. Fortunately, at that point a tough as nails half-human half-ogre paladin shows up to straighten out, guide, and protect the two lost heroes, and she gets all the best lines from there on out.

    I was happy to go along with the gang for the rest of the tale, and there were plenty of amusing bits sprinkled along the trail. This was a fun find.

    (Please note that I received a free advance ecopy of this book without a review requirement, or any influence regarding review content should I choose to post a review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)

    Ok, so I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
    Nonsensical? check Humorous? Not so check. I didn't get the humor. I couldn't even figure out what was going on. The book starts out with a winemaker being held at knifepoint having a very circular conversation with a Paladin. After this mind numbing chapter, the reader moves ahead to a knight and his squire who are on a quest but who also apparently get distracted and diverted a lot. The knight decides to enter a cave to find an artifact, a sword. The squire insists its a trap and of course it is, but the trap is preceded by more mind numbing circular conversation. And it only gets better from here...or does it? More of the same as the plot plods along. I do understand wordplay and the type of humor this book expounds, but it wasn't funny enough to overcome the murky, slow moving plot and continual circular dialogue.

    The story starts off right in the middle of a little action. With plenty of adventure and just the right amount of comedy in the right places. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has ever or will ever play a table top pen and paper rpg as this is a close substitute

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, easy to read beginning to what will likely be a fun adventure between two unlikely companions.

    Ok, so this author reached out to me to ask me to read and review this book. I love to read so I'm up for a new book anytime. I was afraid I wouldn't get to review it for a long time because I am super busy and don't have much time to read. Im happy to say this book was so fun and easy to read I devoured it in just a few days. Firstly, good editing because I didn't spot a single typo and I catch them in the most seasoned writers, so kudos! I liked how the language of the book was intelligent but not "trying too hard". This is a good book for adult readers as well as young adults.
    The story line was fun and honestly has me asking the kinds of questions that make me want to read more. I am kind of sad that I came to the end already, I want more! I want to know more about this Calamity god and his single follower, who by the way cracks me up.
    I liked how the characters kept getting into trouble and how they really had to struggle to get out of it, no convenient out for them. This made me happier when they got past the trouble. Gotta say though, I kept hoping that one ninny would get himself killed, he was driving me nuts!
    Over all enjoyed this book and have already recommended it.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculous but funny
    Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2018

    This was a humorous and completely nonsensical book. I’d almost say young readers but there are a few things that might would be questionable for such. The best part is the play on words, from the meanings to the spellings, it’s all well done. The actual plot itself though is a bit meandering, and rather slow moving in its way. The long internal monologues were fun but they did slow things down. However each of the characters are unique, and bring their own twist to the story. The way Brae talks about Skurok, the god she’s supposed to be a follower for and trying to spread the news that he isn’t quite as evil anymore, is the best part. In the end though it was a bit hard to get through. I enjoyed it when I was reading it, but it wasn’t the sort of book that I was jumping to see what happens next.

    Great dialogue between characters, funny, good characters. Good, solid plot but really it's the dialogue that makes this book a worthy read. I received a free copy of this book to read and review through Hidden Gems.
