5.0
I loved this! It made me laugh more than I expected and I loved the post-apocalyptic setting.
The main character is a loveable idiot, but the real star of show is Monono. Any details about her are spoilers, but she is both ridiculous and spectacular.
I do recommend the audiobook for this, because it's written in a strange dialect due to the post-apocalyptic / lack of education situation and it's a bit of a struggle to read with your eyes.I found it easy to listen to though! And the audiobook narrator is great, even with the challenge of voicing Monono.
I was expecting there to a lot more menacing trees than there were, but pleased with the surprising amount of confused AI and misunderstood technology.
