 Kind of messed up but I'm here for it

The first book in this series where I could properly relate to the characters. Previous ones all felt like someone is telling me what's going on, but there was this wall between that and me hearing it. I'm not sure if I can explain it better than that.

This one, while still a little crazy and hard to believe, was much better. Daisy is outrageous with his nudeness and charming naiveté. His chatter makes you think he never really grew up after being two years old. He really compliments Yargo's temper and extreme mood swings. Somehow, they work.

Not great enough to warrant five stars, but more than good enough for a solid four stars review.
