This is the bang up conclusion to Robot vs Dragons you have been waiting for. My hubby and I really enjoyed listening to it as we drifted off to sleep each night. Funny, irreverent and full of wordplay Clunk works with a strange band of local characters to catch a dragon and save the kingdom. Or does he?
Great fun and enjoyable escape fiction.

This book/series was fun, and light. If you like fantasy filled with puns and not much real substance, this could be for you. Apparently, there was a character in this book that is also from another series of books by the author, so I don't know if it is an official tie-in or not... but if you do end up liking this book there is an entire other series for you.
Personally, while I did find the puns amusing, I think they would have gotten really old, really fast, and I am glad I decided to read this "omnibus" as three separate books, with several other books being read in-between.
There is not much character development or actual world-building. However, the story is enjoyable enough and short enough that you won't regret the time spent reading it. I read the audiobook version and the narrator does a great job!

What a blast!
A Pair of Nuts on the Throne was a bang-up conclusion to the Robot n Dragon trilogy. Full of wordplay as well as swordplay, full of memorable an varied characters, I hated to see the adventure end.

Moderately amusing
Having read the first of the trilogy one was compelled to read the rest. A good story overall with a variety of amusing bits.

Good read
Very good book. It was nice to see Hal and Clunk together again. I only need to type seven more words

Finally... dragons! LOL
Well, for dinner. Good conclusion to the trilogy. All the loose ends got tied up. Very different concept, but interesting.
