5.0

I have no words for what I just read, mostly because I was and still am largely confused (in the best way possible). This was absolutely phenomenal, and I’m not afraid to call it a masterpiece, because I’m still completely in awe at how a person was able to think of and craft this too convoluted universe, how they were able to gaslight and outright lie to their readers, and still end up writing this action packed, gut wrenching and hilariously macabre work of art. 
I think I’ll need to read this book and it’s predecessor at least ten more times to even begin to comprehend what I just read, all the clues that were laid out for the truth, and all the subtle jokes I might have missed.

I would say that I can’t wait to read the next book in the series, but in truth my brain feels like it has run a marathon, and I’m not yet quite ready to begin with a triathlon. Until I muster the bravery to pick up Nona the Ninth, I’ll just wish a happy Pride month to, well, practically every character in this book!
