Swordheart is the funniest book I've read since Gideon The Ninth. It's funny in a lighthearted way, without making you think too much which is exactly what I needed in this day and age. I thoroughly recommend it.

As for characters, there's Sarkis, an immortal man trapped in an enchanted sword. There's Halla, a ‘respectable' widow homekeeper who inherits Sarkis's sword, there's Zale a non-binary priest. There's non-humans, and monsters and horrible relatives. They all mush together in wonderful ways, with humor sprinkled very thoroughly throughout.

If you like The Princess Bride, you'll like this book. Seriously. Just go pick it up, you absolutely won't regret it.
