5.0

I completely loved this book. The tongue in cheek approach to tropes like a "Chosen One", and the premise of having an 80 year old fill that role, are a great start. Beyond that, though, the book serves up a ton of loveable characters, some really interesting plot developments, and a satisfying message. The story doesn't shy away from the darker things in life but still ends happily. Definitely recommend!
