This is a well-executed, fast-paced epic quest story. The universe is interesting, and there is something charming about the simple black and white drawings. It could serve quite well for someone longing to have the epic fantasy experience without the massive investment of time normally required. It also makes for an excellent introductory book to the genre for young adults.
However, I have one significant issue with it. The one female member of the party is literally a quest object and has all the autonomy of one. If this were published in the 50s I could let it slide on that, but this was originally published online. C'mon bro.

Order of Tales is a fantasy story that originated from a web-comic. Dahm creates amazing worlds and his art is just as incredible. The whole story is done in black and white and it really adds to the art. The story is just as engaging, you can tell that its heavily influenced on Tolkien yet Damn makes his story unique and original.
The only flaw I have with the story is the ending. Some character's fates were left unanswered and one character felt a little flat. Still this is an amazing story that fans of fantasy/Tolkien should pick up.

This book is 792 pages. I read it in two sittings.
I think Rice Boy (the other work of his that I have read) is slightly better, but it is close.

It's funny, throughout the whole story, I couldn't decide if I want to punch the main character or cheer him on. That being said, it's an amazing world, fun story and great read.
