review:
'Saint George: Rusty Knight and Monster Tamer' by John Powell is a series of short stories of a knight who lucks into a cure for taming monsters.
In Old England, Good King Freddie the Umteenth is king. His prime minister is Merlin the Whirlin. When monsters plague the land, he looks for someone do deal with them. Someone who will work cheaply. He finds George. George finds a solution. The good news is he can tame the monsters. The bad news is that the monsters better not show up on one of George's "armor off" weeks.
The stories are humorous, satirical and fun. There are drawings throughout the book and they help serve the stories that they are in. This would be a fun book to read to younger folks. They might not get all the subtle humor, but there is a lot to enjoy here.
I received a review copy of this ebook from The Book Guild, Troubador Publishing Limited, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
