Sinopsis

The war was bad. The cleanup is worse.

Sure, the dragon is dead and the Sorcerer is defeated. But with all the silly left-over magic running around the kingdom of Baltica, things are 'worser-than-worse'. Who's going to clean it all up? 

Gulchima Brixby thinks she's the girl for the job. She's just inherited the family construction company, and they're drowning in debt. When a bill-collector threatens her with prison, Gulchima makes a risky decision. She signs a contract to remove all left-over magic from the kingdom's biggest town. 

Fairy poo in the fountain? Swan-maidens under the bridge? Pumpkins that strangle you in your sleep? How hard could it be? It's only magic... 


Reseñas Varias sobre este libro



More fun than a barrel of Lunkers!

Hey, if you enjoyed Monty Python and the Holy Grail or Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, or…I don’t know…the Marx Brothers—you’ll love E. C. Stever’s unique Dragon Removal Service. But be warned! Beneath the madcap mayhem and just plain zaniness lies a remarkably well-crafted story about realistically drawn characters with more true to life motivations than those found in many a “serious” fantasy. (Of course, underneath them lie some pretty nasty magical leftovers, not to mention beasties.) Even the craziest lines you might think were tossed in for humor, turn out to be integral plot elements. Now that’s well structured comedy. Seriously! Unless you’re a trangle or something, you’ve just got to read this!

Indescribable

This would make an Interesting children’s book. The plot is nearly indecipherable, the characters use random words ‘whiffle-waffle’, and reason has nothing to do with the world. Children will either be enchanted by such creatures as Man-of-Arms or be frightened by trangles and lunkers.

I was alternately bored and amused. Not really sure how I finished it.1 Jared AustinAuthor 4 books5

Tons of fun! A brilliant idea, writing a story about dealing with the aftermath of the fight between good and evil. Life goes on, and there's lot to cleanup, whether its a haunted forest or mischievous creatures under a bridge, wrecking everyone's day. Gulchima and Hubward will take you on a romp through it all, and you'll laugh from beginning to end! S. D. HowarthAuthor 2 books15

Picked it up as an entertaining 'new Pratchett' and while it's a quick and fun read it didn't quite rock my houseboat.
Some interesting characters and ideas and a nifty explanation of how dragons fly but I wasn't pulled into the story.

Need a fast fun chuckle and this may be for you. Want something with a Pratchettesque bite and it misses the punch to the offbeat antics.fantasy BonusMom774 12

Well written and funny

Really d this story, although it is more of a YA read than I expected. Good world build with well thought out characters (both good and bad) and a very interesting plot. Wendy Maringelli4

I got it for free it's very good 5 stars!!!

Super funny

The characters are great and the world of this story is the best kind of weird. A really fun read. David Browne1 review

Original

Some of the lowest high fantasy I've read. Interesting setting with grey morality and an entertaining premise. Will keep an eye out for a sequel Bill4 48

This book is great! Stever is a genius. Punya107

Fabulously funny and inventive

Twisting the tropes, bashing the fourth or sixth wall, magic and missing fingers glowing beards and nutty fairies - great fun - Kendell Timmers225 1 follower

Definitely Pratchett-, but somehow I couldn’t quite get into it. Hard to know why. Shannon Scollard41

I really wanted to this book but I couldn't get past the writing style. :-( Rich36
