Man, what an absolutely wild ride. I loved this from start to finish. I LOVE a good trope subversion, and the “chosen one” trope is such a good one to mess around with.
Being inside Misery’s head was such a trip. She is so convinced that she’s mad and just creating these delusions, but she also has to play the part. When she finally embraces and accepts that perhaps she is the chosen one? The amount of religious fervour and righteousness that fills her was such a force to behold. She’s also so funny, and so casually crass and flippant that you can’t help but enjoy her character, even if you aren’t totally rooting for her.
I had such a fun time and can’t wait for the next one to get written!
