adventurous
funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
4.5
What is it with these authors writing amazing plot twists at the end of their books?
This has to be the second book I've come across that waited until the last chapter and in this case, the very last page, to smack me in the face with a revelation so unexpected I let out a very loud ¡¿Qué?! when I read it (the first one was a thriller, so that's understandable).
A short, highly absurd, and humorous story, this novel has no shortage of awesome characters and absurd laws. I mean... seriously... anyone who kills the previous regent becomes the new regent? What if they choke on some veggies? Hail, sir Broccoli! First of his name!
With some heavy Mel Brooks vibes, A Donkey, a Stablehand, and an Empire is a book you can read in one sitting whenever you are in the mood for something light, or if you feel democracy has let you down and we should all be ruled by an ass.
