Global Summit House Review:
Robert A.G. Erickson's Fluke Family series is known to blend fantasy with humor. The second book, Fluke Family Hero, does not fall far from that. If you read the first book in the series, Fluke Family Fortune, there's no doubt that you would love the second book. Continuing the fantasy series, Fluke Family Hero follows the career of Maynerd Fluke Dumsted as the sheriff in his hometown. The Kingdom of Gnat has a new ruler, King Kryan Kruke, with his mischief and old tricks. The king appoints Maynerd as the new national hero and plans to rule the four lands and boost his fame using Maynerd's relationship to the great dead hero, Richard the Brave.
The story only gets deeper with Maynerd's double-edged curse, making him a popular target on enemies who wants to bring him down. When Maynerd's supporters are locked in jail, Robert A.G. Erickson introduces readers to the most significant conflict in the book, leaving readers thinking about Maynerd's decision. As the second book, there is so much expectation from the readers of the first book in the series, which is Fluke Family Fortune. Readers often describe the first book as a fantastic blend of comedy and fantasy in one book, and fortunately, it continues with the second book! It seems like one of Robert A.G. Erickson's trademarks in the writing industry is the expertise in injecting humor into a fantasy epic.
Fluke Family Hero works on both sides as one can read it as a standalone, but it would be perfect for reading it as part of the series. One might lose context quickly while reading the epic if they haven't read the first book. Additionally, reading the series in chronological order adds charm and makes the readers appreciate the author's writing style more. One gets attached to the characters and follows his epic adventures. In this book, the reader would have the chance to meet a character that might be the key to Maynerd Fluke Dumsted's heart. Whatever would happen is an event to expect inside the book. Robert A.G. Erickson's imagination only proves its capabilities as readers explore the book with their thoughts and conclusions. The words would keep them turning the pages continuously as Maynard continues his adventure and solves the problems in the kingdom.
