It’s safe to say that I’m genuinely pleased by the narrative Eames has crafted a superlative blend of marvelous actions, hilarious humor, and tension. One moment you’re smiling or laughing, and before you realize it, you’ll be holding your breath or on the brink of tears. Eames knows how to shifts the reader’s emotions swiftly. You should know, though, that despite the book being very humorous with its pun and dark comedy, Kings of the Wyld shouldn’t be viewed as a complete comedy fantasy. It’s a rarity to read a novel capable of making me grin like a fool throughout the whole novel while also making me tense within those same pages. Kings of the Wyld is a rollicking adventure that managed to raise a variety of emotions ranging from happiness to poignancy within me. This quest will require the Band to get back together for one more tour across the Heartwyld, a gigantic forest full of a plethora of monsters, beasts, and many other deadly sentient beings. One day, Gabriel-one of Clay’s ex-bandmates-arrived at Clay’s place asking for help on a dangerous quest to save his daughter. But now, the members have separated and grown old, fat, drunk, or a combination of the three. I won’t go into the details on the music allusions, but it’s ubiquitous throughout the whole book, and you should experience it yourself in my opinion, they're a Joy To the World of fantasy.Ĭlay Cooper and his Band, Saga (The Kings of the Wyld), were once the greatest of the greatest mercenary Bands. Now, replace the rock bands and concerts with mercenary bands and killing monsters.

Imagine this: legendary rock bands that have disbanded-such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, or Nirvana-coming back for one more tour. As of now, I’m calling Kings of the Wyld one of the best fantasy debuts of all time.
