This cover remains impeccable, but this isn't my favorite Scalzi. Fun! A great time. But not my fave. More thoughts soon.

Starter Villain was recommended by a colleague, and I went in blind - which is the best way to go. Let yourself be surprised by this fast, heartwarming read. A wild ride for both the main character and the reader, it's the perfect palate cleanser in between heavier books, or for those who want to escape reality for a bit.
