4.0

This book has some great characters, and wonderfully funny dialogue, although they do sometimes speak more modernly than you would expect for the setting. However if your not looking for a historically accurate story and something more like "Our flag means death", it can easily be overlooked. 

As for the plot, while I felt it did occasionally drag on in some places, I still enjoyed it.

The dialogues really were peak comedy! When I started that book I didn't think I would relate to Arthur this much 🤠

But the story was really slow and sometimes dragged on, so it was a little hard for me to get through the book.
