This was a delightful quick read/listen. The audiobook was really well done and highlighted the humor of the story. I'm definitely going to hunt down a copy of the physical book for a reread. Nimona is a chaotic character full of energy and mischief and I hope we get more of her energy one day!

The story starts with Nimona signing herself up to be a villian's sidekick but you'll have to decide if its Lord Ballister Blackheart or the Institution who is the real villian.

There is something about this book that I adored. That something was everything. Nimona is unique, Ballister Blackheart is amazing, and Lord Goldenloin has his moments as well. I loved it all. READ THIS NOW. It is quick and fun and wonderful! :D

Reread this because I recently watched the Nimona movie and couldn’t quite remember how much they pulled from the book. One of the rare occasions where the text and movie complement eachother quite nicely, with each compensating for the flaws of the other.
