From Little Stack
Who knew that a medieval take on modern economics could be so snort-through-your-nose funny? Orconomics follows the adventures of dwarven hero Gorm Ingerson and his party of eccentric misfits on an adventure so wild, you have to read it to believe it.
The whole trilogy has so much heart and genuine goodness, all wrapped up in a tongue-in-cheek humor that balances sarcasm and one-liners crafted to perfection. The comedy is razor-sharp and incredibly clever, playing on familiar board game, video game, and novel tropes and terms that make it a singular read. Pay close attention particularly to the first book, which has one of my all-time favorite—and funniest—monster encounters in any fantasy novel ever.
A disgraced Dwarven hero. A band of deadbeat adventurers. His last shot at redemption could get him killed.
If Gorm Ingerson really wanted to drink himself to death, he never should have helped the Goblin. When his good deed lands him in a bad contract, Gorm finds himself entangled in a quest that will pit him against business magnates, the king of the Freedlands, and a mad goddess trying to fulfill a suicidal prophecy.
But Gorm's tarnished circumstances may be hiding a golden opportunity. If he and his half-baked party can overcome deep conspiracies and dark magics, he just might redeem himself and his career enough to be a professional hero once more.
