Starter Villain by John Scalzi
4.25
See, immediately after I finished reading this book, I thought I'd rate it 4 or 4.5 stars. Then I slept and woke up the next day, to discover the book is better as a 5 star read.
The pacing is what decided my original rating, because the starting went smoothly, albeit slightly slowly. The shift in Chapter 8 was a little hard to follow and felt much like an info dump than a transition. The same happens in the middle chapters too whenCharlie is in the conference where we're getting information about the participants and their legacies .
The climax punched me in the gut soooo badly, I hated it, but I loved it. It was kinda coming in a way, by way of suspicion. The ending was the best. 150% recommend. Do yourself a favour and read this spectacular book where things, no matter how dearth, will somehow work out---in the most funniest but sensible way possible. Take me seriously when I say 'funny'; it is genuinely this book's strength. Very, very, incredibly funny.
