This was amusing, as it was meant to be. It is almost wholly satire, after all. It's witty and well-written. I generally really enjoyed it. But there came a point when the joke just kind of got stale and all the anachronisms (which are purposeful) started to grate. But if you're looking for a laugh that pokes fun at fairy tales, pretty pretty princesses and knights in shining armor, look no further. As an odd aside: I take issue with this sentence in the description: But with her father sending a crew of do-gooder knights to find her, the dragon business just got cutthroat. It simply doesn't happen in the book. Go figure. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
A group of medieval con artists offer their services as dragon slayers, whether the kingdom needs them or not. Sir Dalbry, the leader of the group, is a lord knight who was scammed out of his own lands and fortunes, and though he learned honor and the ways of being a knight, he thinks the rest of the world has forgotten it; he now travels the land perpetrating his own cons to get even with the treacherous nobility and to earn his fortune back.

I did not find it as charming as The Princess Bride by William Goldman, nor as witty as the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett, but if you liked those, I think you'll like this. ( )
