Happy Magic Forest: Slug of Doom

"Super Happy Magic Forest: Slug of Doom by Matty Long is a fabulous parody of fantasy tropes and it’s one of those most rare things—it’s a sequel that is better than the original. But this book is all about detail, and the detail is marvellous. You can spot all the little sub-plots going on next to the main plot and all of these little one-off jokes and asides create a really interesting, fully formed, fully functional —full of rivalries, relationships, misunderstandings, disasters, heroics and mishaps that take place within it. Your eye can scan the bustling double-spreads, making new discoveries and find new funny bits with every re-reading."
