Why read it?

1 author picked Oath of Swords as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The War God series follows the development of an unlikely orc-analog paladin, Bahzell, which would be entertainment enough: but Bahzell’s best friend, a would-be quasi-orc bard, Brandark, remains his steadfast companion throughout all his unlikely adventures. The best part of their relationship is definitely their communication: via humorous barbs and perfectly timed silences. Sheer fun!

From M.C.A.'s list on scifi-fantasy about best friends.
