This book had its moments, but overall just wasn’t very funny. I understand it is sort of satire, but for a much better fantasy satire, try My New Really Epic Fantasy Series by Garth Nix.
I picked this up for a used book store thinking it was going to be ridiculously horrible but I was actually surprised. It was a light, easy read with a good since of humor. It really didn't take itself too seriously.
It had its flaws. Like others have mentioned, it was a bit rushed. It seemed like the characters never really settled down to reflect on what just happened; it was always on to the next thing.
All in all, I'd recommend this to someone who likes fantasy and satire whose looking for a quick book to read.

When I started this I really liked the action, but while they had a goal for the climax they had a lot of side action. This in itself was not bad, however, I do not feel there was not enough narrative to understand the land, roles, or characters that Piswyck and his unicorn came in contact with. I did get 100 pages in which I’m glad I was trying to give it a chance. I just did not see myself wanting to finish it anymore.
