This book does an excellent job of setting me up to think something is going to happen and then pivoting and going completely elsewhere in these constant little subversions. I keep going "I recognize this trope, I know where we're going" and just nope, not there. I love it.
This book pulled off making me actively reconsider my opinion of a character I considered irredeemably annoying (Hiro). They're still kind of annoying, but I will recognize good writing and character work.
