3.5
The story itself was interesting, and the book was at its best when it was focusing on the quest and all the nostalgia that came with it. Unfortunately the characterisation and dialog were both really, really terrible. Every time Parzival and Art3mis spoke I wanted to throw the book out the window, honestly. Overall an entertaining but also uniquely frustrating read.
Moderate: Fatphobia, Transphobia, and Murder
Minor: Suicidal thoughts, Forced institutionalization, and Slavery
