geno's review against another edition

The book is not working for me. Great and fun idea but not well executed.
The tone is all over the place, and I can see some twist coming for a mile.
It's not for me, but I can see younger readers enjoying it.

📖
I have mixed feelings on this book. This book was better than I expected. I think Maehrer tried to hard to be funny in places. There was some character development and in-development. 

Overall, this book kept me interested. I found the plot to be predictable, and the writing style got annoying in places. The worldbuilding was lacking in areas. The characters were fine. 

I do plan to read the sequel.
