this book was such a delight to read. this is a 2023 review of a book i read in 2014 to 2015 because it was just that memorable to me. i asked my cousin to bring it to brazil from overseas and Devoured it the minute she got it to my hands.
this story is such a nice exploration on the Chosen One trope, that subverts and meta-plays with the narratives we are used to. the characters are very lovable, really funny and the book is filled with heartwarming moments of reflection.
the main focus and conflicts of the narrative are the friendships between the characters, both the broken and the new ones and the interactions of those different social cores we have in our lives.
the plot is genuinely hilarious, but does not sacrifice the moments of reflection and sobriety it needs to work.
it's well past time for a reread to me and it brought me so much joy to see this book recommended to me by storygraph. i think this is a delightful short read for people who want a fun, out-of-the-box story to love, and i also would really recommend this book to anyone on a reading slump.
