Kill the farm boy isn't the greatest piece of fantasy comedy I've ever read, but it's certainly good enough to keep me reading the rest of the Tales of Pell. 3/5 stars ☺️

Hey bookloving tooters! As there’s more book talk here & more authors joining in, just an etiquette reminder: it’s best not to tag authors in book reviews, esp. not critical ones. It’s okay to tag authors with simple kind comments or questions, but let them decide for themselves if they want to seek out reviews or not.
We aren’t their bosses, we shouldn’t be sending performances reviews to their inboxes!
