I like the satire and the humor that pierces the dark ambience. 🙂 Though some of the writing is a bit simple, it's still very enjoyable and much of the humor involves poking fun at the "tropes" in fantasy stories and bringing it to a new height. I've always wondered how anyone in their sane mind could parade around in such flashy armour(as in: those villains). Well, guess what? This time, both the goodie and baddie sides are equally ridiculous in their flash. Though much of the humor is light but it can also be rather dark, a la writing for Chinese movies and literature.
I really like the personalities of the entire cast and the main is such a narcissist! The interactions between many of the characters is quite amusing and Pink is one of my favourites.
The artwork is a bit sparkly but all the same, I'm really glad OS Cat has improved by leaps and bounds from her previous series, where much of the art had potential but a lot of the panelling was a big mess. There's still a bit of odd panelling in Sun Knight but overall, the dialogues and scene flow quite smoothly.
The pacing is really fast, so the writing develops very quickly. Now, that's a far cry from a lot of fantasy which can take over 500 to 1000 pages just to find out who the villain is. Also, the overall plot is still developing so I can't really comment too much on it. It could go into something quite complex and sophisticated or it could remain as a simple but engaging title. Who knows but it's a fun ride so far. 🙂 (Yep, I haven't had time to read the novels so far.)
Btw, I preferred this over 1/2 Prince 'cos the writing was less cluttered.
