I absolutely loved this fun, deranged romp with a chaotic main character that was so much fun to read. I loved so many characters here, there were events and situations that made laugh out loud and sadden me, so I ran the gamut of the emotional rollercoaster (but mostly it was just so damn funny).
A couple of points down just because of the sheer exhaustion of the entire thing. There was just so much information I kept having to refer to the map and calendar, and it all came from a frankly stream of consciousness 100 miles an hour protagonist's POV, so it did make the reading a bit hard sometimes.
But, man, this was such a delightful and truly chaotic adventure, with so many moments that made me sit up and chuckle. I am looking forward to more in this series.
