Hali the witch must guide humans through magic world disguised as computer simulation

ritaer | Apr 18, 2021 |

What if modern tourism and marketing collided with a fantasy world? You might get something like this, where the witch of the title gets a wombat familiar because surverys show visitors like wombats That's just the first of the strangeness of this book. (The familiar, a former sneak-thief, is charmingly cowardly as well.) Amusing. (

Dans le pays des fées, les habitants s'inquiètent, les hommes ne croient plus en eux et ne viennent plus les voir. Alors un troll de l'Administration a une idée géniale : ils vont faire venir de jeunes humains sous couvert d'un jeu de rôle informatique 3D très très réaliste.
