It's a pretty good read. The premise is a little silly. It's a person with a mix of human and cat DNA and a grumpy wizard traveling from world to world through the multiverse. They have ended up on a world with not that much magic and discover that all Hell is about to break loose, literally. They need to either stop it or get off the world.
Myhr, "rhymes with purr", is an interesting character, flamboyant and randy as a cat. Myhr makes a living as an entertainer singing old Beatle's songs and telling stories from books and shows he's read and seen. The picture on the cover of Myhr pretty much sums up his personality. Terrin is the wizard and is constantly in a bad mood. The author does well at presenting a smooth story with believable challenges and interesting twists. There is little fluff in the story and it is a fast read with lots of humor.
One aspect of the book that may be offputting for some is a very heavy reliance on knowledge of American pop culture. For example, you have to be familiar with the Beverly Hillbilies to get one of the jokes. The show premiered in 1962 in black and white and ended in 1971, 50 years ago. I watched it live (no DVD recorders back then) so I didn't have a problem with the ancient pop culture references and enjoyed them.
