The first in a wickedly funny new series about an aspiring pacifist in a brutal kingdom! On Brutalia violence is a way of life. Ravenous ravens circle overhead, monstrous grot bears cause chaos and the streets are bulging with brawls. But Mort isn't like the other islanders - he's determined to live peacefully. His struggle is made even tougher when the cruel queen appoints Mort as Royal Executioner. No one has challenged the royals and lived to tell the tale. Can Mort keep his head and outwit the queen? Perfect for fans of the How to Train Your Dragon series, Frostheart and The Nothing to See Here Hotel.

Mort is a pacifist. He may be the only pacifist in Brutalia. His city is exactly what it sounds like, brutal. People fight all the time, the Queen has people killed for minor crimes, it's just an unhappy place.
When Mort's best friend is sentenced to death, Mort vows to find a way to save him, but he's running out of time.
This is a funny story. The characters are great. I would like to know more about how the Queen got to be so horrible. I just felt it could've been a little bit longer.
I received a copy from Net Galley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
