4.0

I loved this book and the concept of how the rest of the people in a “chosen one” story are affected by what is going on. I laughed and cried and was shocked by many parts. Listening to it as an audiobook was like watching a movie and I kept thinking “Wow, it’s crazy how such ordinary parts of life can create such a wonderful story.”
The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars was the whole cat-god thing. It felt kind of out of place.
