The story follows a long, long life of revenge with lots of friendship, but also lots of backstabbing.

I loved this book. The adventure has a lot of twists and turns you don't always see coming. There are funny and sad moments, and in the end you end up feeling a million different ways about the things that unfold.

When the authors said it's a story about revenge, they really meant it. It seems so at first, but throughout the novel more and more things are revealed to lead back to the theme of revenge and redemption. I loved this book, I've read it multiple times, and would recommend it to anyone. It starts off with a comedic first chapter, but by the second chapter you'll know that it isn't as slow and playful as it at first seems, in a great way.
