#5 No Country for Old Gnomes by Delilah S. Dawson, Kevin Hearne

The nice thing about his is his you can read the second book without having read the first book and still enjoy it. The book opens with a family of gnomes on the run from the halflings that are firebombing them. As the POV keep switching introducing lots of characters that will eventually join in a quest to show the king what is happening in the kingdom between the gnomes and the halflings. There is cute wordplay and very familiar things happening during the book that don’t end the way you first expect them to. This is a fun quest story but not everything ends happily for everyone they meet on the road.
