• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

This was fantastic. Cleverly written, cleverly plotted, clever characters. Just plain clever. I laughed several times, I was delighted by the wordplay, and I appreciate the themes revolving around family, identity, destiny, and choices. There were also wonderful illustrations that added to the story. 

While there were a few parts that seemed a bit...frantic?...it made sense to me, as the family reunion would have been just that. 

And did I mention the wordplay?
