Note: I recommend going into this as blind as possible, keep reading at your own risk
When I experience fantasy in different mediums, I seem to find there is a lot of “generic” tropes that make me look over many works of fantasy. Classics like LotR still hold up great, subversions such as the Witcher Saga keeps me invested with the personalities and subtle ways the world works.
This book is somehow both serious and well developed and satirical at the same time.
This book does feel at times that it is some ones vanilla Dungeons and Dragons campaign, and the characters, for me all seemed to fall in line with my expectations.
The story does develop and the final act really ties together the entire book. But honestly the biggest reason I recommend this is that odd part of the name “onomics”. This is an economics book disguised as a fantasy novel. I would say this book has more to do with “The Big Short” (the story behind the 2008 financial crisis) than it does with LotR and I love it for that.
If the idea of economics is off putting: 1) Sorry, I like economic books 2)This is a great fantasy book regardless, you do not need to be an economist to enjoy
