Good fun.

Been a fan of these characters since I heard the first story in this collection; Sir Hereward and Mister Fitz Go to War Again on Podcastle back in 2010. I would advise not binging the stories as they are standalone and the author repeats certain expositions for readers who may be new to the characters.

Anyway, a pompous but competent soldier and a sorcerous puppet go on fun adventures, what is not to like? This collection left me wanting more stories set in this world.

Narration was a bit of a shock at first. Compared to the Podcastle narration by Paul Tevis, it almost feels like David Linski is shouting the narration. However I soon got used to it and the narration in later stories is well done.
