This one was weird. Good. But weird. I guess I can’t relate to a lot of the fandom stuff. Seems kind of, I don’t know, juvenile? but I can see how it happens. And this is a YA book after all. The beginning of the story was a little drab and I’m not a huge fan of the incompetent parent factor. That’s just personal preference though. I liked her Dad but I also kinda hate it when kids are overly concerned about their parents. It’s unhealthy... but he’s not really healthy either so I guess that’s life.
The Simon Snow excerpts were a bit confusing and in the end pointless. I kept thinking they were going to somehow tie in with the main story. And they didn't... Or maybe it was just over my head? I don’t know.
But I loved the characters, and the overall story was good. Not life changing or anything but good nonetheless.
