Kill the Farm Boy
by Kevin Hearne
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
A relentlessly funny fairy tale parody that skewers every fantasy trope while sneaking in a genuinely sweet F/F romance. If you love Discworld-style humor with more dick jokes and less subtlety, this is your jam.
