A review by literarygrwm
Til Death Do Us Bard by Rose Black

adventurous lighthearted medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated

I do enjoy witty banter and adventures. This book delivered on that front and the audio narrator was absolutely an enjoyable talent. Here's what I loved: characters with different ages (thank heavens for a break from the-world-deoends-on-the-eleven-year-old to save us and fall in love trope!), gay men in loving marriage, adventure plot, magic world building, fun personality contrasts, and band of odd ducks taking on the world. What I didn't like:  The necromancer was a delight, Yzma evoking character but I quickly side-eyed the levity  of her crude nonconsensual sexual overtures. It wasn't just humorous banter, she would get in their beds.  Between that and ex-wife  ghost scolds and pouts, it felt a bit 90s sitcom in progressive setting.
