So this book has a … lackluster title. It was a whim that I even looked at it, but it had a couple hundred reviews that were 5 star on Amazon, which is notable. Looking at it today, it has no 1 or 2 star reviews, and has an aggregate 4.8 star rating.
So the high rating enticed me to look at the blurb which honestly didn’t really encourage me.
So I started Grog with, not apprehension, but certainly some ambivalence.
Grog deserves it’s rating. Despite being a slave, Grog is not a victim and he conducts himself with an iron sense of what’s right and proper and his place in the order of things. In some ways Grog’s ignorance of the world outside his experience is staggering, but yet believable, so in addition to his journey on the Grand Quest, there is his journey as he learns about the world, which is arguably the more interesting part of the story.
One really unexpected part of the book, is the humor aspect. Grog’s very structured mind, and his observations about the wider world are frequently very amusing without being intentionally coy or ironic.
Anyway, I really enjoyed the book and it didn’t hit any of my triggers. Devoured it in about a day and a half and am now plowing through book 2.
