So much fun! Made me laugh, world-building captured me attention and drew me in, generally good read!

LOVED this book! Laugh-out-loud funny smart chicks kicking ass. How could I not love that?
Seriously one of my favorites in the past several years.

So much plot and cleverness. I love a book where shit keeps happening and the long-suffering protagonist keeps dealing with it while dishing out witty one liners. Pure escapist catnip.

3.5 stars. Interesting. Funny. Slightly weird. The concept is great but it was slow going through parts where I didn't feel like the whole story can together as well as it should. Part of that may be intentional with the main character experiencing her past and present in fragments.

  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Good read! Very entertaining. Nothing of the deep philosophical nature but some very cool concepts thrown about. The wry wit and humour that shows up every so often is a bonus.

Dude writing from the point of view of a woman, but he hasn't a clue....
The plot, characters, and set up were fine, but the writing was terrible. I couldn't listen anymore after a couple of hours
