A quirky bit of fun
I enjoyed the concept of the main character being a bard. It brought a bit of novelty to the story. They incorporated a bit of music into the performance, which was a fun element. I hope they develop this further in the subsequent books. There was nothing especially spectacular about the story or the performance, but somehow I felt that the whole was greater than the sum of the parts. At the very least, I'm going to continue with the next book to see where things are going.
