Kings of the Wyld

A wacky fantasy adventure in which adventurers are revered like rock stars and speak in a contemporary fashion. Golden Gabe's daughter rose is trapped in a city under siege and seeks Clay Cooper's help in getting their band of adventurers back together in order to embark on a suicidally perilous journey through the dangerous forest known as the Heartwyld and thence to Castia, a city under siege by a horde of beasties. Or, I should say, Horde with a capital H. And it's entertaining and so easy to read and moves along at a decent clip... But, all the contemporary talk and slang keeps yanking me out of the world as it were. And this world contains such an unfathomable plethora of strange beasts and monsters, that it strains credulity. Those two things kept bothering me. Yet I persevered and finished the story. Kinda fun and all but no real surprises.
