Summary

For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.

And so, Yui Shaw sets out with an ambitious plan. A 10-step plan.

She'll find a way to obtain the Hero's legendary sword. She'll earn obscure classes, gain levels, and increase her skills. She'll travel to the meticulously-crafted dungeons that seem designed for one specific Hero to complete. And, if she's truly (un)fortunate, she might even find a fairy.

She might not be a Hero - but if she can fake it long enough, she might still be able to save the world.

Another great book from Rowe, this one a little more satirical than his usual style.

Fans of Zelda and fantasy in general will enjoy this story.

Zelda is my favourite computer game franchises so I really enjoyed this book. However, If you aren't a big zelda or computer game person then this probably isn't for you.

I thoroughly enjoyed this creatively told story deconstructing fantasy RPGs in a unique way. The unusual yet likeable protagonist, with her unusual choices (like her main class), kept me hooked. For a story written in first person perspective, an exceptional narrator makes a world of difference, and they absolutely delivered! I think this book will particularly appeal to those who enjoy fantasy RPGs, whether tabletop or video games, but will still be appreciated by other fantasy fans.

My only issue with this story is the pacing. From a certain point of view, the story was well structured. However, most of the characters beyond the protagonist and deuteragonist were introduced far too late in the story for me to grow attached to. That is a shame, because they seemed rather interesting!

Overall, I would recommend this book and I will be checking out some of the author's other works!
