I have a little bit of mixed feelings about this one. I definitely like to read books that get a little weird sometimes, including those that are unabashedly funny (though it seems they don’t quite hit the mark for me lately), but I prefer it when they choose to do so wholeheartedly, I think.
This one felt like it was trying to be serious but funny at the same time. Which could probably have worked too if it had been longer. But the short length of the book made a lot of things feel too rushed. I struggled with two of the main characters and would’ve appreciated more development for the one and more consequences for being a jerk for the other. Another character though was a bit more interesting for me, which is surprising since the young ones aren’t usually the ones I enjoy the most.
I did love seeing the different cultures that the author came up with and the forms in which they communicated. It made for really interesting interactions and conflicts. The final lesson of the book was a good one as well.
